OPENING THE ENGINE HOOD

Be careful not to get your hand caught when opening or closing the hood.
1. To prevent the hood from touching the steering wheel, lift the tilt
steering wheel lock lever (1) and push the steering wheel to the
most forward position (2), then return the lock lever to its original
position (3).
2. Lift the lever (4) on the front left side of the engine hood with your left
hand, and release the hood from the frame.
3. Lift the hood all the way up (5) until the engine hood stopper fits into
place.
On trucks equipped with LPG capability, the seat back folds forward
to clear the tank bracket.
On LPG trucks using the optional folding tank bracket, the bracket
folds away allowing more clearance when the hood is in the UP
position.
