Hood Release
To open the hood:
1. Pull the hood release handle inside the vehicle. It is located next to the parking brake pedal near the floor.
2. Then go to the front of the vehicle and pull the secondary hood release to the right. The hood latch is located under the hood, near the center, at the front edge of the grille.
3. Hold the latch to the right as you lift up on the hood.
Before closing the hood, be sure all the filler caps are on properly. Then just pull the hood down and close it firmly.
