  • Grasp the stay rod in the area wrapped in rubber. The rubber will help prevent you from being burned by hot metal when the motor is hot.

  • The stay rod must be inserted completely into the hole provided whenever you inspect the motor compartment. This will prevent the hood from falling and possibly injuring you.
