MAINTENANCE
4. Release the unhinged end of the stay rod from its lock
clip, swing the rod upwards and insert its unhinged end
in the slot below the already lifted hood
5. Allow the hood to be supported by the stay rod
6. Do not apply any undue force on the bonnet when it is
supported by the stay rod
WARNING
!
• Do not open the hood immediately after a drive;
the engine compartment will be very hot.
• Always double check to be sure that the hood is
firmly latched before driving away. If it is not
latched properly, the hood could open while the
vehicle is being driven, causing a total loss of
visibility, resulting in an accident.
• Do not move the vehicle with the hood in the raised
position, as vision is obstructed.
Closing the Hood
1. Remove the stay rod supporting the hood by slightly
lifting the hood
2. Slowly lower the hood, while swinging down the stay rod
and locking its unhinged end in the lock clip
3. Bring the hood just a few inches above its fully closed
position
4. Now, release the hood and allow it to fall by its own
weight. This ensures that safety latch firmly locks the
hood in its fully closed position
