Hood
To open:
To unlock the hood, pull release
lever (1) under the driver’s side of the
instrument 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 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.
Warning!
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 sock­
ets, 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.
To close:
Close hood by depressing it firmly.
