Note:
-
Vehicle must be at a stop and the gear selector must be in PARK.
-
While lifting the hood, use both hands.
-
Before lifting the hood, check that the wiper arms are not in motion and not in the lifted position.
CLOSING THE HOOD
In one continuous motion, pull down on the front edge of the hood with moderate force until the angle is below the crossover point (where the gas props are no longer resisting) and let the hood continue to fall closed from its own inertia.
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.
