2. Move the safety catch located under the front edge of the hood, near the center and raise the hood.
Hood Release Lever
Safety Catch
Lift the hood prop rod, clipped to the right side (left side when standing in front of hood) of the engine compart- ment, to secure the hood in the open position. Place the hood prop at the location stamped into the inner hood surface.
CAUTION! To prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to close it. Lower the hood until it is open approxi- mately 8 in (20 cm) and then drop it. This should secure both latches. Never drive your vehicle unless the hood is fully closed, with both latches engaged.
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.
