2. Move to the outside of the vehicle and push the safety catch to the left. The safety catch is located under the center front edge of the hood.
Hood Safety Latch
Use the hood prop rod (if equipped) to secure the hood in the open position.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to
close it. Lower the hood, until it is open approximately
6 in (15 cm), and then drop it. This should
secure both latches. 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.
