Always check that the hood is closed and securely locked.
A hood that is not closed and securely locked is dangerous as it could fly open while the vehicle is moving and block the driver's vision which could result in a serious accident.
When closing the hood, do not push it excessively such as by applying your weight. Otherwise, the hood could be deformed.
Be careful not to pinch your hand when closing the hood. It may result in an injury if your hand is caught.
When inspecting the engine compartment, do not misplace any tools or cloth. Misplacing any tools or cloth may result in engine damage, cause a fire, or cause an unexpected accident.
