Adjustment Of Hood Height
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Turn the damper to the dimension shown in the figure to adjust the hood height. If the hood height is still not even, turn the damper again until the height is even. The damper height is altered by roughly 4 mm (0.2 inches) when the damper is rotated once.
NOTE:
If a rattling noise is heard due to the vibration of the hood when the vehicle is being driven, adjust the damper height until the damper is seated on the hood.
