2. Go to the front of the vehicle and
locate the secondary release
lever under the front center of
the hood. Push the secondary
hood release lever to the right to
release.
3. After you have partially lifted the
hood, the spring system will
automatically lift the hood and
hold it in the fully open position.
To close the hood:
1. Before closing the hood, be sure
all filler caps are on properly,
and all tools are removed.
2. Pull the hood down until the
spring system is no longer
holding up the hood.
3. Allow the hood to fall. Check to
make sure the hood is latched
completely. Repeat this process
with additional force if necessary.
Warning
Do not drive the vehicle if the hood
is not latched completely. The hood
could open fully, block your vision,
and cause a crash. You or others
could be injured. Always close the
hood completely before driving.
The Driver Information Center (DIC)
will display a message if the hood is
not fully closed, and the vehicle is
moving. Stop and turn off the vehicle,
check the hood for obstructions, and
close the hood again. Check to see if
the message still appears on the DIC.
