Hood
To open the hood:
1. Pull the hood release handle
with this symbol on it. It is
located under the instrument
panel on the driver side of the
vehicle.
2. At the front of the vehicle, pull
up on the bottom center of the
grille, and push the secondary
hood release to the left.
3. After the lid has been partially
lifted, a gas strut automatically
lifts and holds 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 strut 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 until it is
completely latched.
