3. Lift the hood and release the hood prop from its
retainer, located on the underside of the hood.
Securely place the hood prop into the slot on the
inner fender.
To close the hood:
1. 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 inner fender and return the prop
to its retainer. The prop rod must click into place
when returning it to the retainer to prevent hood
damage.
2. Lower the hood 30 cm (12 inches) above the
vehicle and release it so it fully latches. Check to
make sure the hood is closed and repeat the
process if necessary.
