To open the hood, do the following:

1. Pull the interior hood release handle with this symbol on it. It is located to the left of the steering column below the instrument panel.



2. Push the secondary hood release lever, located under the center of the hood above the grille, to the right to disengage it.
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.
