Hood Lock The hood lock safeguards your battery, carburetor, and other under-the-hood equipment against theft and tampering as long as the car doors are locked. The hood control (marked “H”) is located on the driver’s side of the car just below the lower end of the instrument panel. To unlock the hood, pull the control until the automatic hood lock is released. To raise the hood, release the safety latch as illustrated. As a safety measure, after raising the hood, remove the end of the hood prop from its bracket and place it in the hole provided on the underside of the hood at the front.
Care should always be taken in raising or lowering the hood. Never try to force the hood lock or safety latch. This might affect adjustments which would result in an improperly operating part.
Lower the hood firmly so that the automatic hood latch and the safety latch are fastened securely.
