fly
open while the vehicle is moving and block the driver’s vision which could
result in a serious accident.
NOTICE
When closing the hood, do not push it excessively such as by applying
your
weight. Otherwise, the hood could be deformed.
The owner or a qualified service technician should make these vehicle
inspections at the indicated intervals to ensure safe and dependable
