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 gas
strut 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 strut 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.
