Hood
To open the hood:
1. Pull the hood release handle
with this symbol on it. It is
located inside the vehicle to the
left of the steering column.
2. Then go to the front of the
vehicle and push the secondary
hood release handle toward the
driver side of the vehicle.
3. Lift the hood.
4. After the hood is slightly lifted, it
will continue to open to the full
position. Before closing the
hood, be sure all the filler caps
are on properly. Lower the hood
until the lifting force of the strut
is reduced, then release the
hood to latch fully. Check to
make sure the hood is closed
and repeat the process if
necessary.
