To open the hood:

1. Pull the handle with this symbol on it. It is located under the instrument panel on the driver side of the vehicle.



2. Then go to the front of the vehicle and push the secondary hood release lever to the right.
3. Lift the hood, release the hood prop rod from its retainer, and put the hood prop into the slot in the hood marked with an arrow.

Before closing the hood, be sure all the filler caps are on properly. Then lift the hood to relieve pressure on the hood prop. Remove the hood prop from the slot in the hood and return the prop to its retainer. Then let the hood down and close it firmly.
