MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE OPENING THE HOOD • Pull the release lever located below the instrument panel and in front of the driver's door. • Raise the hood and locate the safety latch, in the middle of the hood opening. • Move the safety latch while lifting the hood at the same time. • Insert the support 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. 59
