OPERATION 243
Make sure the hood can be opened fully without hitting anything. There are two methods
for opening the hood.
1. Stand in front of the hood with feet in line with the vehicle. Place feet well apart and
grasp the recessed handle in the front part of the hood. Transfer the body weight by leaning
away from the hood. Lift the hood until it is past the balance point. Release the hood and let
it complete the opening movement unaided.
