Hood Release
To open the hood, do the following.
1. Pull the interior hood
release lever with
this symbol on
it. It is located to the
left of the instrument
panel on the
driver’s side of the
vehicle.
2. Then go to the front
of the vehicle and
push the secondary
hood release
lever to the left. It is
located under the
front center of
the grille.
3. After you have partially lifted the hood, gas
struts will automatically take over to lift and
hold the hood in the fully open position.
Before closing the hood, be sure all the filler
caps are on properly. Lower the hood until the
lifting force of the struts is reduced, then
release the hood to latch fully. Check to make
sure the hood is closed and repeat the
process if necessary.
