Pull the support rod out of its clip
and insert the end into the square
hole on the right side of the hood.
To close the hood, lift it up slightly
to remove the support rod from
the hole.
If you can open the hood without
lifting the hood latch handle, or the
hood latch handle moves stiffly or
does not spring back as before, the
mechanism should be cleaned and
lubricated (see page
).
Standing in front of the car, put
your fingers under the front edge
of the hood to the right of center.
Slide your hand to the left until
you feel the hood latch handle.
Push this handle to the left until it
releases the hood. Lift the hood.
