	Risk of injury caused by fingers being jammed or pinched when removing, installing or aligning hoods, doors, trunk lid/ rear-end door or sliding roof.	When moving components, ensure that no body parts or limbs are within the operating range of moving parts.	AS00.00-Z-0011-01A
1	Open engine hood (1)		AR88.40-P-1000P
2	Remove left engine hood catch upper section (3) and right engine hood catch upper section (3)
3	Loosen bolts (6) for engine hood (1) on hinge (5), adjust engine hood (1) and then tighten bolts (6)	If gap dimensions deviate, see:↓
		Gap dimensions on hoods, doors and lids	*BE60.00-P-1001-01E
			*BA88.40-P-1002-01A
		Feeler gauge	Figure
4	Position engine hood (1) on stop buffer (7)
5	Check engine hood (1) fit in relation to front fender and adjust stop buffer (7) if required	Adjust stop buffer (7) so that engine hood (1) is not distorted, see:↓
		Gap dimensions on hoods, doors and lids	*BE60.00-P-1001-01E
		Feeler gauge	Figure
6	Install left engine hood catch upper section (3) and right engine hood catch upper section (3)		*BA88.40-P-1004-01A
7	Install spiral spring
8	Check whether engine hood catch is locked, for this purpose close engine hood (1) and pull upward with a jerk.	Engine hood must (1) fall automatically into the engine hood catch from a height of 100 - 130 mm (measured above fender tip) and lock.
9	Release engine hood (1) and check whether retaining hood on upper frame crossmember is arrested.	Release lever should be visible for min. 9 mm.
