WAR N I N G
• A hood that is not 'completely
latched could fly up and block
your view while driving. When you
close the engine hood, check it to
make sure the safety catch has
properly engaged. The hood
should be flush with the surround­
ing vehicle body parts.

If you ever notice while driving
that the hood is not secured prop­
erly, stop at once and close it.
Always heed all WARNINGS
