Operating the Hood when there is no
Electrical Power
The manual release cable should only be
used for service and/or emergency use, such
as loss of vehicle electrical power. Do not
store any cargo in the area near the hood
release cable.
To open the hood:
1. Firmly pull the hood release cable twice
to release the hood. It is on the lower
left side of the instrument panel.
2. Go to the front of the vehicle and lift
the hood to the desired height.
To close the hood:
1. Before closing the hood, make sure all
cargo is properly stowed and does not
go above or across the hood seal.
2. Pull the hood down until it is secured in
the latch.
3. Check to make sure the hood is latched
completely. Push down on the hood to
latch if it does not latch completely.
Repeat this step with additional force if
necessary.
