WARNING

Open the hood after turning off the engine on a flat surface, shifting the gear to the P (Park) position and setting the parking brake.
Grasp the support rod in the area wrapped in rubber. The rubber will help prevent you from being burned by hot metal when the engine is hot.
The support rod must be inserted completely into the hole provided in the hood whenever you inspect the engine compartment. This will prevent the hood from falling and possibly injuring you.
