Acura 2009 TSX - Manual (Page 363)

Reach in between the hood and
the front grille with your fingers.
The hood latch handle is above
the ‘‘A’’ logo. Push this handle up
to the right until it releases the
hood. Lift the hood.
To close the hood, lift it up slightly to
remove the support rod from the
hole. Put the support rod back into
its holding clip. Lower the hood to
about a foot (30 cm) above the
fender, then let it drop. Make sure it
is securely latched.
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.
Holding the grip, pull the support
rod out of its clip. Insert the end
into the designated hole in the
hood marked by an arrow. 3. 2.
