2. Outside of the vehicle, locate the safety latch lever between the grille and hood opening (left of center when facing hood). Push the safety latch lever to the right and then raise the hood.
Underhood Safety Latch
Use the hood prop rod to secure the hood in the open position. Place the upper end of the prop rod in the hole on the underside of the hood.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage:
• Before closing hood, make sure the hood prop rod is fully seated into its storage retaining clips.
• Lower the hood to approximately 6 in (15.2 cm) above the closed position and drop the hood to latch it.
• Never drive your vehicle unless the hood is fully closed, with both latches engaged.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your
vehicle. If the hood is not fully latched, it could open
when the vehicle is in motion and block your vision.
Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
