Dodge 2010 Viper - User Guide - Manual (Page 61)

OPENING THE HOOD
• Reach into the lower right grille opening and pull the primary hood latch forward.
• Raise the front of the hood slightly and push the safety catch handle to the right. The
safety catch handle is located under the front edge of the hood.
• Assist props will raise the hood to a normal usage position. If greater access is
required, the hood may be pushed up at the front, raising the hood beyond the initial
opening height.
• To close, lower the hood until it is open approximately 6 in (15 cm) and then drop it.
This should secure both latches.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle is in motion and block your vision. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
