To open:
To unlock the hood, pull release lever
(1) under the driver’s side of the in­
strument panel. Simultaneously, the
handle (2) will extend out of the radia­
tor grill (it may be necessary to press
the hood down slightly).
Pull handle (2) completely out of radia­
tor grill and open hood (do not pull up
on handle).
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).
Warning!
To help prevent personal injury,
stay clear of moving parts when
the hood is open and the engine
is running. Be sure the hood is
properly closed before driving.
The engine is equipped with a
transistorized ignition system. Be­
cause of the high voltage it is dan­
gerous 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 is turned manually
• while starting the engine
• with the engine running.
