out appropriate skills. Always

tems or equipment, especially when
these are located within the engine com-
partment. Comply with all applicable in-
structions and warnings. Failure to work
in an informed, professional manner

procedures. If it is determined that the
hood is not completely closed while
driving, stop immediately and close it
