HOOD
TO OPEN THE HOOD
To open the hood, two latches must be released.
1. Pull the hood release lever located below the steer-
ing wheel at the base of the instrument panel.
2. Reach into the opening beneath the center of the
hood and push the safety latch lever to the left to
release it, before raising the hood.
NOTE:
•
Vehicle must be at a stop and the gear selector
must be in PARK.
•
While lifting the hood, use both hands.
•
Before lifting the hood, check that the wiper arms
are not in motion and not in the lifted position.
TO CLOSE THE HOOD
In one continuous motion, pull down on the front edge
of the hood with moderate force until the angle is below
the crossover point (where the gas props are no longer
resisting) and let the hood continue to fall closed from
its own inertia.
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.
