again from a slightly higher position.

ing on how strongly or where you push down, you could
create a dent in the vehicle body.

cially made for it. Propping the engine hood at any
other place could cause the prop to slip out and lead
to an accident.
● The hood prop can fall out if the hood is lifted by a
strong wind.
CAUTION
!
● Be careful not to trap your hands or fingers when
closing the engine hood.
