GETTING TO YOUR ENGINE 1 2. Pull Latch to Open 3. Pull Up to Separate Hood Tilt To open your hood, unlock the hood hold downs by unlatching them. Put one or both hands on the top of the hood front. Tilt the hood forward by pulling at the top of the hood, pivoting on the foot placed on the bumper and using the foot on the ground for stability. Keep pulling on the hood until you are certain that the hood hold open device is engaged. When closing the hood, be sure that you maintain the same points of contact (top of hood and bumper) to control the movement of the hood as it closes. A pivoting hood could hurt someone or be damaged itself.
Before opening or closing the hood, be sure there are no people or objects in the way. Failure to stand in a position of safety can cause death or personal injury. WARNING! 1-16 Y53-1200-1B1 (04/13)
