3. After you have partially
lifted the hood, gas struts
will automatically take over
to lift and hold the hood in
the fully open position.
Before closing the hood, be sure all
filler caps are on properly.
Pull the hood down to close.
Lower the hood until the lifting
pressure of the strut is reduced.
Then allow the hood to fall and latch
into place under its own weight.
Check to make sure the hood is
closed. If the hood does not fully
latch, gently push the hood down
at the front and center of the hood
until it is completely latched.
