• All filler caps in engine compart-
ment must be correctly installed.
• Gloves, rags or any other com-
bustible material must be
removed from the engine com-
partment.
CAUTION - Hood obstruc-
tion
Before closing the hood, ensure
that all obstructions are removed
from the hood opening. Closing
the hood with an obstruction
present in the hood opening may
result in property damage or
severe personal injury.

cm above the closed position and
let it drop. Make sure that it locks
into place.

properly. If the hood can be raised
slightly, it is not properly engaged.
