The hood will pop up slightly.

3.

Pull up the hood latch lever (located under 
the front edge of the hood to the center) 
and raise the hood. Once you have raised 
the hood slightly, you can release the lever.

4.

Remove the support rod from the clamp 
using the grip. Mount the support rod in 
the hood.

When closing, remove the support rod, and 
stow it in the clamp, then gently lower the 
hood. Remove your hand at a height of 
approximately 12 inches (30 cm) and let the 
hood close.

Opening the Hood

NOTICE

Do not open the hood when the wiper arms are 
raised. The hood will strike the wipers, resulting in 
possible damage to the hood and/or the wipers.

NOTICE

Do not press the engine cover forcibly. This may 
damage the engine cover and component parts.

When closing the hood, check that the hood is 
securely latched.

If the hood latch lever moves stiffly, or if you can 
open the hood without lifting the lever, the latch 
mechanism should be cleaned and lubricated.

Do not open the hood while the Auto Idle Stop 
function is activated.
