Hood
The hood serves as a cover for the
motor room and access to the front
trunk.
Opening the hood
1. Pull the release lever to unlatch the
hood. The hood should pop open
slightly.
Open the hood after turning off the EV
button on a flat surface, turn the shifter
dial to the P (Park) position and set the
parking brake.
2. Go to the front of the vehicle, raise the
hood slightly, push the secondary
hood release lever (1) up side and lift
the hood (2).
Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check the
following:
僅 All filler caps in the motor compart
-
ment must be correctly installed.
僅 Gloves, rags or any other combusti
-
ble material must be removed from
the motor compartment.
2. Lower the hood halfway and push
down to securely lock in place.
僅 Then double check to be sure the
hood is secure.
僅 If the hood can be lifted with a
slight force, open the hood again
and close it more firmly.
