Hood

To open the hood:
1. Pull the hood release handle
with this symbol on it. It is inside
the vehicle to the left of the
steering column.
2. Go to the front of the vehicle to
find the secondary release
handle. The handle is under the
front edge of the hood near the
center. Push the handle to the
right and at the same time raise
the hood.
3. After the hood is slightly lifted, it
will continue to open to the full
position. Before closing the
hood, be sure all the filler caps
are on properly. Lower the hood
until the lifting force of the strut
is reduced, then release the
hood to latch fully. Check to
make sure the hood is closed
and repeat the process if
necessary.
