Hood Opening and Closing
The hood can be raised to a full-open position. Tilt-
assist struts help you to both raise the hood and
lower it into the vehicle operating position.
In the vehicle operating position, the hood is secured
to the cab-mounted cowl by a hold-down latch on
each side.
Newer vehicles may have a locking right-hand hood
strut. This means the hood can be secured in the
open position by engaging the yellow lever located
midway on the strut. To lower the hood, the yellow
lever must be flipped up.
Opening the Hood
1. Release both hood hold-down latches by pulling
the handles outward.
2. Slowly tilt the hood with both hands on the grab
handle.
3. As the hood starts to open, walk backwards as
you pull. The hood will stop in the full-open posi-
tion.
4.
If it is available, lock the right-hand hood strut.
See
Fig. 2.8.
Closing the Hood
1. Disengage the locking hood-strut if engaged.
2. Push on the hood above the grille, tilting it to-
ward the closed position.
3. As the hood goes over center, allow it to settle
on the rear supports.
4. Make sure the hood is flush with the cowl, then
secure the hood by engaging both hood hold-
down latches.
