Closing the Hood
s2 dm 02.02.000
A torsion spring helps to raise and lower the hood. Hood restraint cables prevent the hood from overtravel. An optional hood damper limits the closing speed. In the operating position, the hood is secured to the half-fenders by a hold-down latch on each side.
- Push the hood over center.
- As the hood goes over center, the damper (if equipped)automatically slows its rate of descent. If needed, you can also slow the rate of descent with your hand.
- Make sure the hood is flush with the cowl, then secure
the hood by engaging both hood hold-down latches.
Important: Make sure that both hold-down latches are fully engaged before operating the vehicle.
