Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check the fol-
lowing:
• All filler caps in engine compartment
must be correctly installed.
• Gloves, rags or any other com-
bustible material must be removed
from the engine compartment.
2. Return the support rod to its clip to
prevent it from ratting.
3. Lower the hood halfway (lifted approx-
imately 12 inches (30 cm) 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 slightly be raised, it is
not securely locked. Open it again and
close it with more force.
Trunk
Opening the trunk
1. Make sure the shift lever is in P (Park).
2. Then do one of the following :
- Press the button on the trunk itself
with the Smart Key in your posses-
sion.
- Use the mechanical key.
•
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 instru-
ment 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.
