Warning
Components under the hood can get hot
from running the engine. To help avoid
the risk of burning unprotected skin,
never touch these components until they
have cooled, and always use a glove or
towel to avoid direct skin contact.
Clear any snow from the hood before
opening.
To open the hood:
1. Pull the hood release lever with the
symbol. It is on the lower left side
of the instrument panel.
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. Lift the hood and release the hood prop
rod from its retainer, in the front of the
engine compartment. Securely insert the
rod end into the slot marked with an
arrow, on the underside of the hood.
To close the hood:
1. Before closing the hood, be sure all filler
caps are on properly, and all tools are
removed.
Vehicle Care
2. Lift the hood and remove the hood prop
rod from the underside of the hood.
Return the prop rod to its retainer. The
prop rod must click into place when
returning it to the retainer to prevent
hood damage.
3. Lower the hood 20 cm (8 in) above the
vehicle and release it. 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.
