FRONT END HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT AND LATERAL/LONGITUDINAL CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove the hood lock and adjust the height by rotating the bumper rubber until the hood becomes 1 to 1.5 mm (0.04 to 0.059 in) lower than the fender.
2. Temporarily tighten the hood lock, and position it by engaging it with the hood striker. Check the lock and striker for looseness, and tighten the lock mounting bolt to the specified torque.

CAUTION: Adjust right/left gap between hood and each part to the following specification.
Hood and head lamp (B-B) : Less than 2.0 mm
Hood and fender (C-C) : Less than 1.0 mm

SURFACE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove the hood lock, and adjust the surface height difference of the hood and fender according to the fitting standard dimension, by rotating RH and LH bumper rubbers.
2. Install the hood lock temporarily, and align the hood striker and lock so that the centers of striker and lock become vertical viewed from the front, by moving the hood lock laterally.




3. Check that the secondary latch is properly engaged with the secondary striker with hood's own weight by dropping it from approx. 200 mm (7.87 in) height or by pressing it lightly approx. 3 kg (29 N).

CAUTION: Do not drop the hood from 300 mm (11.81 in) height or higher.

4. Move the hood lock up and down so that the striker and lock are engaged firmly with the hood closed.
5. Tighten the lock mounting bolts to the specified torque.
