3. 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 compart-
ment then let it drop. Make sure that the hood
is completely closed and fully latched.
NOTE:
Since the hood is equipped with a double
locking system, one for each side, 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.
