Hood


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.
