The hood latch is not locked correctly. Stop im-
mediately and close the hood.
— Never open the hood when there is steam or
coolant escaping from the engine compart:
ment, because there is a risk that you could
be burned. Wait until no steam or coolant is

~For safety reasons, the hood must always be

while you are driving, stop immediately and
close it, because driving when the hood is
not latched increases the risk of an accident.
