Opening the hood
1. Park the vehicle and set the parking
brake.
2. Pull the release lever to unlatch
the hood. The hood should pop
open slightly.
3. Raise the hood slightly, push the
secondary latch up (1) inside of
the hood center and lift the hood
(2). After it has been raised about
halfway, it will raise completely by
itself.
Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check the
following:
- All filler caps in engine compartment
must be correctly installed.
- Gloves, rags or any other combustible
material must be removed
from the engine compartment.
2. Lower the hood halfway and push
down to securely lock in place.
Then double check to be sure the
hood is secure.
WARNING
- Before closing the hood,
ensure all obstructions are
removed from around hood
opening.
- Always double check to be
sure that the hood is firmly
latched before driving away. If
it is not latched, the hood
could open while the vehicle
is being driven, causing a
total loss of visibility, which
might result in an accident.
- Do not move the vehicle with
the hood in the raised position,
as vision is obstructed,
which might result in an accident,
and the hood could fall
or be damaged.
