Hood Release

To open the hood, do the following:
1. Pull the hood release
handle inside the
vehicle. It is located on
the lower left side of
the instrument panel.
2. Then go to the front of the vehicle and lift up the
secondary hood release lever. The secondary hood
release lever is located under the front center of
the hood.
3. Lift the hood, release the hood prop from its retainer
and place the hood prop into the slot in the hood.
4. 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 12 inches (30 cm) above the vehicle and
release it to latch fully. Check to make sure the hood
is closed and repeat the process if necessary.
