Closing the hood

2. Return the support rod to its clip to prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the hood until it is about 1 ft. (30 cm) above the closed position and let it drop. Make sure that it locks into place.
WARNING - Fire risk
Do not leave gloves, rags or any other combustible material in the engine compartment. Doing so may cause a heat-induced fire.
WARNING - Unsecured engine Hood
If the engine hood is not secured properly, it is likely to fly up blocking your vision and causing a crash.
The support rod must be inserted completely into the hole whenever you inspect the engine compartment.
This will prevent the hood from falling and possibly injuring you.
