To open the hood, do the following:

1. Pull the handle with this symbol on it. It is located inside the vehicle, to the left of the brake pedal.



2. Then go to the front of the vehicle and lift up on the secondary hood release lever.
3. Lift the hood, release the hood prop from its retainer and put the hood prop into the slot in the hood.

Before closing the hood, be sure all the filler caps are on properly. Then lift the hood to relieve pressure on the hood prop. Remove the hood prop from the slot in the hood and return the prop to its retainer. Then just let the hood down and close it firmly.
