Vehicle Care
To open the hood:
1. Pull the hood release lever with the
i
symbol. It is on the lower left side
of the instrument panel.
2. Go to the front of the vehicle and locate
the secondary release lever under the
front center of the hood. Push the
secondary hood release lever to the right
to release.
3. After you have partially lifted the hood,
the gas strut system will automatically
lift the hood and hold it in the fully
open position.
To close the hood:
1. Before closing the hood, be sure all filler
caps are on properly, and all tools are
removed.
2. Pull the hood down until the strut
system is no longer holding up the hood.
3. Allow the hood to fall. Check to make
sure the hood is latched completely.
Repeat this process with additional force
if necessary.

Warning
Do not drive the vehicle if the hood is
not latched completely. The hood could
open fully, block your vision, and cause a
crash. You or others could be injured.
Always close the hood completely before
driving.
