To open the hood
Pull the lever located under the left side of the dash to release both hood catches. This also releases and
exposes the safety handle in the front of the grille.
● Lift the hood slightly to expose the safety handle.
● Pull the safety handle and open the hood.
Do not lift the hood using the safety handle.
WARNING! Check that the hood locks properly when
closed.
The hood normally opens to an angle of 57°. The hood can be opened to the vertical position by rotating
the hinge catches (see illustrations). The catches will return to their normal positions when the hood is
closed. Ensure adequate clearance in low-roof garages to avoid damaging the hood.
