Direction of pressing the hood safety catch lever

Support the hood with the support rod.

To close the hood, remove the support rod and secure it in the holder.
Slowly lower the hood to a position about 30 cm above the closed position, then release it so that it falls under its own weight. Make sure the hood is securely latched.

Before driving, make sure the hood is securely latched. A hood that is not fully closed may open unexpectedly while the vehicle is moving, causing a complete loss of visibility, which in turn may result in a traffic accident.
