How to Close the Front Hood of an Escape?

[RubyFitz]

To close the front hood of an Escape, follow these steps: 1. Remove the support rod and slowly lower the hood with both hands. 2. When the hood is about 20cm from the closing point, release both hands to let the hood fall freely until you hear a clear closing sound. 3. Avoid closing the hood with one hand or on one side only, as this may cause uneven gaps on both sides of the hood. Precautions for closing the Escape's front hood include: 1. If you see steam or coolant overflowing from the engine compartment, do not attempt to open the hood further. Wait until there is no steam, smoke, or coolant overflow before opening. 2. Always follow relevant safety warnings before working in the engine compartment. 3. Do not press the hood forcefully with your hands, as this may cause dents. 4. Avoid opening or closing the hood with one hand or on one side only, as this may result in uneven gaps on both sides of the hood.
