Hood Release
To open the hood, do the following:
1. Pull the hood release handle with
this symbol on it. It is located
under the instrument panel
on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
2. At the front of the vehicle, pull up
on the center of the hood, and
push the secondary hood release
to the right.
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
filler caps are on properly.
Pull the hood down to close. Lower
the hood until the lifting pressure
of the struts is reduced. Then allow
the hood to fall and latch into
place under its own weight. Check
to make sure the hood is closed.
If the hood does not fully latch,
gently push the hood down at the
front and center of the hood until it is
completely latched.
