Then go to the front of the vehicle and lift up on the
secondary hood release handle. The secondary hood
release lever is located near the front center of the hood
toward the driver’s side.
To make sure that the secondary hood release handle
works properly, lubricate the hood latch at least once
a year.
Lift the hood, release the
hood prop from its retainer
and put the hood prop into
the slot in the hood marked
“prop rod.”
Use the prop rod sleeve
when handling the
hood prop.
Before closing the hood, be sure all the filler caps are on
properly. Then lift the hood to relieve pressure on the
hood prop. Remove the hood prop from the slot in the
hood and return the prop to its retainer. Lower the hood
8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 cm) above the vehicle and
release so that it will latch fully. Check to make sure the
hood is closed and repeat if necessary.
