Rotate the hold-open cam to release the strut.
Gently lower the hood into position and re-latch
the hold-down latches.
To Close
To close the hood:
1. Standing just forward of the right front tire, grasp the hood
overhead with the right hand. With the left hand, rotate the
release cam of the hold-open strut. Slowly lower the hood.
The balance of the torsion spring hinge allows the hood to
be lowered in a slow and controlled fashion. There is no need
to suddenly drop the hood to engage a catch. Slowly lower
the hood onto its rear supports.
2. Grasp the handle of the hood hold-down latch and hook the
end of the elastic strap into the notches of the cowl-mount-
ed bracket. Then close the latch handle fully. Similarly secure
the latch on the left side of the vehicle.
