Opening the Hood
1. Shift to Park or Neutral and
set the parking brake. Pull the
hood release handle located
under the left lower corner of
the dashboard. The hood will
pop up slightly.
2. 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.
3. Pull the support rod out of its
clip and insert the end into
the hole on the left side of the
hood.
To close the hood, lift it up
slightly to remove the support
rod from the hole. Put the
support rod back into its
holding clip. Lower the hood
to about a foot above the
fender, then let it drop.
