Opening and closing the hood
The hood is opened by releasing it from the pas-
senger compartment and then by using the han-
dle under the front edge of the hood.
Opening
With the hood completely closed, pull the
control (located to the left of the brake
pedal).
Turn the handle under the front edge of the
hood counterclockwise to release it from the
lock and lift.
Warning–hood not closed
When the hood lock has been com-
pletely released, this symbol and a
graphic will illuminate in the instrument
panel and an audible signal will be
given. If the vehicle begins to roll, the audible sig-
nal will be repeated several times.
For additional information, see also the article
"Door and seat belt reminders."
NOTE
If the warning symbol remains on or if the
audible signal is given even if the hood is
completely closed and locked, consult a
trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Closing
1. Press down the hood until it begins to close
due to its own weight.
2. When the handle under the front edge of the
hood is in the lock, press down on the hood
to close it completely.
WARNING
•
Be sure the hood is completely unob-
structed while it is being closed.
•
Check that the hood locks properly when
closed. It must audibly lock on both sides.
•
Never drive if the hood is not completely
closed and locked.
•
While driving, if there are any indications
that the hood is not locked in the closed
position, stop safely as soon as possible
and close it completely.
