Hood
To open the hood, do the following:
1. Pull the handle with this symbol
on it. It is located inside the
vehicle on the lower left side of
the instrument panel.
2. Release the secondary latch on
the hood. It is located below the
front center of the hood.
3. Lift the hood.
4. Release the hood prop from its
retainer and put the hood prop
into the slot in the hood.
Before closing the hood, be sure all
the filler caps are on properly. Then
lift the hood to relieve pressure on
the hood prop. Remove the hood
prop from the slot in the hood and
return the prop to its retainer. Lower
the hood 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 in)
above the vehicle and release it to
latch fully. Check to make sure the
hood is closed and repeat the
procedure if necessary.
