Acura 2013 MDX - Manual (Page 431)

Opening and Closing the Hood
1. Park the vehicle, and set the
parking brake. Pull the hood
release handle located under the
lower left corner of the dashboard.
The hood will pop up slightly.
2. Put your fingers under the
front edge of the hood near the
center. Slide your hand to your
left until you feel the hood latch
handle. Push this handle up
until it releases the hood. Lift up
the hood.
If the hood latch handle moves stiffly,
or if you can open the hood without
lifting the handle, the mechanism
should be cleaned and lubricated.
3. Lift the hood up most of the
way. The hydraulic supports will
lift it up the rest of the way and
hold it up.
To close the hood, lower the hood to
about a foot (30 cm) above the
fender, then press down firmly with
your hands. Make sure it is securely
latched.
