Hood Release
1. To open the hood, first
pull the handle with this
symbol on it. It is
located inside the
vehicle under
the instrument panel
on the driver’s side.
2. Then go to the front of the vehicle and release the
secondary hood release.
3. Lift the hood, release the prop rod from its retainer
and put the prop rod into the slot in the hood.
Before closing the hood, be sure all the filler caps are
on properly. Then lift the hood to relieve pressure on
the prop rod. Remove the prop rod from its slot in
the hood and return the prop to its retainer. Lower the
hood 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) above the vehicle and
release it to latch fully. Check to make sure the hood
is closed and repeat the process if necessary.
