Closing the Hood
{
Warning
Do not drive the vehicle if the
hood is not latched completely.
The hood could open fully, block
your vision, and cause a crash.
You or others could be injured.
Always close the hood completely
before driving.
The hood is not heavy enough to
latch under its own weight. The
hood will remain open until the
striker is pushed into the latch.
Ensure the hood is fully latched
before taking the vehicle out of
P (Park).
1. Before closing the hood, be
sure all filler caps are on
properly, and all tools are
removed.
2. Ensure that all cargo is placed
away from the emergency hood
release button.
3. Pull the hood down and set the
striker gently into the latch.
4. Firmly press down on the front
edge of the hood until the latch
clicks twice.
5. Check that the hood is flush to
the fascia to ensure the hood is
fully closed.
Storing Your Vehicle
{
Warning
The emergency hood release
button inside the underhood
compartment will not function
when the battery is disconnected
or depleted. To avoid personal
injury or death, always keep the
hood fully closed and latched
when storing the vehicle. If the
hood is not latched, a person
could climb into the underhood
compartment and inadvertently
close the hood. People should
never climb inside the underhood
compartment. Never shut the
hood when a person is inside.
See “Opening The Hood When
There Is No Electrical Power,”
earlier in this section.

Warning
Components under the hatch,
hatch vents, and glass can get
hot from running the engine. To
help avoid the risk of burning
unprotected skin, never touch
these components until they have
cooled, and always use a glove or
towel to avoid direct skin contact.
Hatch/Trunk Release
The vehicle must be in P (Park).
{
Warning
When opening or closing the
hatch/trunk, keep hands away
from the closure area. You or
others could be injured.
