1. Pull the hood lock release handle 1 located below the instrument panel; the hood will then spring up slightly. 2. Pull the lever 2 up at the front of the hood with your fingertips and raise the hood. 3. When closing the hood, slowly close the hood down and make sure it locks into place.

WARNING

► Make sure the hood is completely closed and latched before driving. Failure to do so could cause the hood to fly open and result in an accident.
► If you see steam or smoke coming from the engine compartment, to avoid injury do not open the hood.
