Acura 2008 TL - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 242)

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.
Put your fingers between the front
edge of the hood and the front
grille to locate the hood latch
handle. Push this handle up until it
releases the hood. Lift the hood. Lift the hood up most of the way.
The hydraulic supports will lift it
up the rest of the way and hold it
up.
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.
If the system still detects a leak in
your vehicle’s evaporative
emissions system, the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL) comes on. If
the fuel fill cap was not already
tightened, turn the engine off, and
check or retighten the fuel fill cap
until it clicks at least once. The
MIL should go off after several
days of normal driving once the
cap is tightened or replaced. If the
MIL does not go off, have your
vehicle inspected by a dealer. For
more information, see page
