HOOD
Opening
To open the hood, proceed as follows:
1. Pull the release lever located on the
driver’s side kick panel.
2. Go to the outside of the vehicle and
position yourself in front of the grille.
3. Lift the hood slightly.
4. Move the under-hood latch from right
to left to release the hood.
5. Raise the hood completely. The
operation is assisted by the addition of
two gas props which hold it in the open
position.
Note:
Do not tamper with the props and
assist the hood while lifting it.
Use both hands to lift the hood.
Before lifting, check that the windshield
wiper arms are not raised from the
windshield or in operation, that the
vehicle is stationary and that the electric
park brake is engaged.
Closing
To close, lower the hood to
approximately 16 inches (40 cm) from
the engine compartment then let it drop.
Make sure that the hood is completely
closed and fully latched. Do this by trying
to open it. If it is not perfectly closed, do
not try to push the hood lid down, but
open it and repeat the procedure.
Note: Always check that the hood is
closed correctly to prevent it from
opening while the vehicle is travelling.
Since the hood is equipped with a double
locking system, one for each side, you
must check that it is closed on both its
side ends.
Warning!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before
driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle is in
motion and block your vision. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
injury or death.
