– 14 – Y53-6007 (R10/06)
2. Grasp the lever and turn it towards you. The hood will
release and pop open to a neutral position, approxi
-
mately 2” above the closed position.
WARNING! The hood uses hydraulic dampers
to control movement during opening. Do not
tilt the hood with these dampers discon
-
nected. Replace damaged, worn, or leaking
dampers as soon as possible. Tilting a hood
with the dampers disconnected or defective
may cause the hood to tilt too rapidly. You
could be injured and the hood could be dam
-
aged.
3. Proceed to the front of the vehicle and face the hood.
Grasp the hood ornament on the top of the crown
molding. Pull forward and down until the hood is fully
open and rotation stops.
WARNING! If the hood falls, anyone under it
could be injured. Always ensure that a hood is
fully tilted open any time anyone gets under a
hood for any reason.
4. To close the hood, firmly push upward and rearward
on the hood ornament to start the hood tilting back
-
wards. Continue to push until the hood moves through
its neutral position. The hood will continue to tilt back
-
wards. Apply a firm push to the hood ornament to
engage the hood latches located on both sides of the
firewall.
WARNING! If the hood is not latched securely,
it could open during operation and cause an
accident. Be sure the hood is latched securely
before moving the vehicle
