GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 31
Hood Latch Locations
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. Unhook the support rod from the hood
and insert it into the slot on the front end above
the radiator.
NOTE:

Before lifting the hood, check that the wiper
arms are not in motion and not in the lifted
position.

While lifting the hood, use both hands.

Vehicle must be at a stop and the automatic
transmission must be in PARK.

If the vehicle was actively charging the High
Voltage (HV) battery when the hood was
opened, the vehicle will stop charging until
the hood is closed.
C
LOSING
To close the hood, remove the support rod from
the slot and replace it on the hood panel
retaining clip. Lower the hood slowly. Secure
both of the hood latches.
NOTE:
If the vehicle stopped charging the HV battery
when the hood was opened, the vehicle will
resume charging when the hood closes.
WARNING!
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.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not slam the
hood to close it. Use a firm downward push at
the front center of the hood to ensure that
both latches engage. Do not fully open and
rest the hood on the windshield.
