WARNING
- Never open the hood when there is steam or coolant escaping from the motor compartment, because there is a risk that you could be burned. Wait until no steam or coolant is escaping.
- For safety reasons, the hood must always be latched securely while driving. Because of this, always check the hood after closing it to make sure it is latched correctly. The hood is latched if the front corners cannot be lifted.
