Hood
Opening the hood
ODN8A059040
1. Park the vehicle and set the parking brake.
2. Pull the release lever to unlatch the hood. The hood should pop open
slightly.
ODN8A059041
3. Go to the front of the vehicle, raise the hood slightly, push up the secondary
latch (1) inside of the hood center
and lift the hood (2). After it has been
raised about halfway, it will raise
completely by itself. Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check in and
around the engine compartment to
ensure the following:
- Any tools or other loose objects are removed from the engine room area
or hood opening area
- All glove, rags, or other combustible material is removed from the engine
compartment
- All filler caps are tightly and correctly installed
2. Lower the hood halfway (lifted approximately 30 cm (12 inches) from
the closed position) and push down
to securely lock in place. Then double
check to be sure the hood is secure.
If the hood can be raised slightly, it is
not securely locked. Open it again and
close it with more force.
WARNING
• Before closing the hood, ensure
all obstructions are removed from
around the hood opening.
• Always double check to be sure that
the hood is firmly latched before
driving away. Check there is no
hood open warning light or message
displayed on the instrument cluster.
Driving with the hood opened may
cause a total loss of visibility, which
might result in an accident.
• Do not move the vehicle with the
hood in the raised position, as vision
is obstructed, which might result in
an accident, and the hood could fall or be damaged.
