TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE HOOD

Release both the hood latches.
Raise the hood and locate the safety
latch, located in the middle of the hood
opening. Push the safety latch to the left
side of the vehicle, to open the hood. You
may have to push down slightly on the
hood before pushing the safety latch.
Insert the support rod into the slot on the
hood.
To close the hood, remove the support rod
from the hood panel and place it in the
retaining clip. Lower the hood slowly.
Secure both of the hood latches.
Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle is in motion and block your vision. Failure
to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
