Convenient features of your vehicle
Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check the
following:
• All filler caps in engine compart-
ment must be correctly installed.
• Gloves, rags or any other com-
bustible material must be
removed from the engine com-
partment.
2. Lower the hood halfway (lifted
approximately 30 cm (12 inches)
from the closed position) and push
down to securely lock in place.
Then double check to be sure the
hood is secure. If the hood can be
raised slightly, it is not securely
locked. Open it again and close it
with more force.

the LCD display when hood is open.
The warning chime will operate when
the vehicle is being driven at or
above 3 km/h with the hood open.

which might result in an acci-
dent, and the hood could fall
or be damaged.
