Hood: Adjustments

HOOD


Fitting Adjustment






1. Check the clearance and the surface height between the hood and each part by visual and tactile feeling.
(Fitting standard dimension in the table below should be satisfied.)






2. In case out of specification, adjust them according to the procedures shown below.





3. Remove the hood lock and adjust the height by rotating the bumper rubber until the hood becomes 1.0 to1.5 mm (0.039 to 0.059 in) lower than the fender.
4. Temporarily tighten the hood lock, and position by engaging it with the hood striker. Check the lock and striker for looseness and adjust the clearance and evenness by the striker to satisfy the specification.
5. Adjust A and B shown in the figure to the following value with hood's own weight by dropping it from approx. 200 mm (7.874 in) height or the hood pressed lightly (approx. 29 N (3 kg)).





A : 20 mm (0.787 in)
B : 6.8 mm (0.268 in)

6. After adjustment tighten lock bolts to the specified torque.
