Note: To adjust the hood, the car must be on a level surface. Adjustable stops "2" on the left and right are not intended for adjustment. They are intended to stabilize or dampen the hood. The hood is adjusted correctly if it smoothly passes into other body panels, is not recessed inward or protruding outward, and has an even gap around the entire perimeter. The hood should be fixed in the lock without noticeable effort. Do not unscrew the screws, only loosen them.
Remove the lock bracket "1" by loosening the screws "6" on the hood hinges "5" on the left and right, the hood can be aligned relative to the wings. Make sure that the gaps are uniform.
Adjust setup buffers
Note: Insert buffers "2" on the left and right until they stop. If necessary, turn the installation buffers by 90° so that the bonnet lid has a slight support.
After the bonnet has been adjusted, the locking bracket "1" can be reinstalled and adjusted. The bonnet lock "4" can be used to adjust the height of the front of the bonnet relative to the front fenders. After the bonnet has been adjusted, the locking bracket installed and all connections tightened, the installation buffer can be unfolded if necessary. After adjustment work, apply anti-corrosion treatment to the hinges "5" and screws "6".
