Front Bumper: Service and Repair

- When removing or installing hood, place a cloth or other padding on front fender panels and cowl top. This prevents vehicle body from being scratched.
- Bumper fascia is made of plastic. Do not use excessive force and keep oil away from it.
- Hood adjustment: Adjust at hinge portion.
- Hood lock adjustment: After adjusting, check hood lock control operation. Apply a coat of grease to engaging mechanism of hood lock.
- Hood opener: Do not attempt to bend cable forcibly. Doing so increases effort required to unlock hood.
