CAUTION

When you open the engine hood, do not stand the wiper blades up.
Furthermore, while the hood is open, do not operate the windshield wipers. Doing so could result in damage to the engine hood and wiper blades.
Be extremely careful not to catch fingers or other objects when closing the engine hood.
Do not push the hood forcibly to close it. It could deform the metal.
Be extremely careful opening the engine hood when the wind is strong. The engine hood could close suddenly, possibly causing injuries from slamming.
Do not install accessories other than genuine SUBARU parts to the engine hood. If the engine hood becomes too heavy, the stay may not be able to support holding it open.

To open the hood:

If the wiper blades are lifted off the windshield, return them to their original positions.
