Hood and Parking Brake
Hood
To open the hood, pull back on the
handle located under the dash on
the driver's side.
The hood latch is spring-loaded, so the hood will pop up slightly.
Release the safety catch under the front center of the hood by
pushing the rubber-tipped handle up.
Lift the hood and prop it open with the support rod.
To close, take the support rod down, place it back in its holder,
tower the hood until it is approximately one foot from the closed
position, then let it drop. Be sure the hood is securely latched before
driving away.
Parking Brake
To apply the parking brake, pull
up on the lever. To release it, pull
up slightly, push the button, and
lower the lever; when fully
released, the BRAKE (US cars), or
(Canadian cars) indicator
will go out.
