Vehicle Care
To close the hood:
1. Before closing the hood, be
sure all the filler caps are on
properly. Then, lift the hood to
relieve pressure on the hood
prop. Remove the hood prop
by the sleeve from the retainer
slot on the underside of the
hood and return the prop to its
retainer located above the
radiator. The prop rod must
click into place when returning
it to the retainer to prevent
hood damage.
2. Lower the hood 20 cm (8 in)
above the vehicle and release
it so it fully latches. Check to
make sure the hood is closed
and repeat the process if
necessary.
