    WARNING

    Support rod

    • After you drive, the engine compartment and support rod will be hot. Grasp the support rod in the area wrapped in rubber to prevent burns.

    • You must insert the support rod completely into the hole provided whenever you inspect the engine compartment. This will prevent the hood from falling and possibly injuring you.
