â– HOOD RELEASE
To open the hood, first pull the
handle inside the vehicle, located
near the door on the driver's side
of the instrument panel.
Then pull up the secondary latch
lever at the front of the vehicle and
raise the hood.
CAUTION
An electric cooling fan can start
even if the engine is not
running. Be careful around any
underhood electric fan.
Be careful not to drop or spill
things that will burn onto a hot
engine. They could start a fire
and you or others could be
burned.
Your vehicle is equipped with an
engine cover that may need to be
removed in order to access some
underhood components.
See "Engine Cover" later in this
section for more information.
Before closing the hood, make
sure that all filler caps are on
properly.
