3. Release the secondary hood release
located under the front grille by moving the
lever toward the left.
4. Lift up the hood.
To close the hood:
1. Lower the hood to a point approxi-
mately 20 in (50 cm) from the closed
position and then give the hood a strong
push down to make it drop.
2. After closing the hood, be sure the
hood is securely locked.
If this does not close the hood, release it
from a slightly higher position. Do not push
the hood forcibly to close it. It could
deform the metal.
WARNING
Always check that the hood is
properly locked before you start
driving. If it is not, it might fly open
while the vehicle is moving and
block your view, which may cause
an accident and serious bodily in-
jury.
CAUTION
When closing the hood, be careful
not to pinch your or other person's
hands or anything else in the hood.
