Hood
To open:
To unlock the hood, pull release lever
(1) under the driver’s side of the instru
ment panel. At the same time handle
(2) will pop out of the radiator grill (it
may be necessary to lift the hood up
slightly).
Pull handle (2) completely out of
radiator grill and open hood (do not pull
up on handle).
To help prevent personal injury,
stay clear of moving parts when the
hood is open and the engine is run­
ning. Be sure the hood is properly
closed before driving.
The engine is equipped with a tran­
sistorized ignition system. Because
of the high voltage it is dangerous to
touch any components (ignition
coil, distributor, spark plug sockets,
ignition cables, diagnostic socket)
of the ignition system
• if the ignition is “on” and the
engine revved manually
• while starting the engine
• with the engine running.
W arning!
Caution!
To avoid damage to the windshield
wiper or hood, open the hood only with
wiper in the parked position.
To close:
Push hood down on left side (viewed in
driving direction).
