Checking Things
Under the Hood
{ CAUTION
An electric fan under the hood
can start up and injure you even
when the engine is not running.
Keep hands, clothing, and tools
away from any underhood
electric fan.
{ CAUTION
Things that burn can get on hot
engine parts and start a fire.
These include liquids like fuel, oil,
coolant, brake fluid, windshield
washer and other fluids, and
plastic or rubber. You or others
could be burned. Be careful not to
drop or spill things that will burn
onto a hot engine.
Hood Release
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.
