Hood Release

To open the hood, do the following:

1. Pull the hood release lever with this symbol on it. It

is located inside the vehicle on the lower left side of
the instrument panel.

2. Then go to the front of the vehicle and find the

secondary hood release lever. The lever is
located under the front edge of the grille near the
center. Move the release lever to the side and raise
the hood.

Before closing the hood, be sure all the filler caps are
on properly. Then pull the hood down and close it firmly.
