Protection of the Vehicle
Always be sure to cover fenders, seats, and floor areas before starting work.CAUTION: The support rod must be inserted into the hole near the edge of the hood whenever you inspect the engine compartment to prevent the hood from falling and possibly injuring you.
Assure that the support rod has been released prior to closing the hood. Always double check to be sure the hood is firmly latched before driving away.
