MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE OPENING THE HOOD • Pull the hood release lever located on the instrument panel, below the steering column. • Raise the hood and locate the safety catch lever, in the middle of the hood opening. • Move the safety latch while lifting the hood at the same time. • Lift upward on the hood prop rod insulator to release the hood prop rod from the stowage retainer. • Insert the hood prop rod into the slot on the hood. • To close the hood, remove the support rod and place it in the retaining clip, then lower the hood slowly. WARNING! Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully latched, it could open when the vehicle is in motion and block your vision. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death. 103
