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.
