4. Move the under-hood latch from right
to left to release the hood.
5. Raise the hood completely. The
operation is assisted by the addition of
two gas props which hold it in the open
position.
Note:
Use both hands to lift the hood.
Before lifting, check that the windshield
wiper arms are not raised from the
windshield or in operation. Also, ensure
that the vehicle is stationary and that
the electric park brake is engaged.
Do not tamper with the props.
Assist the hood while lifting it.
Closing The Hood
To close, lower the hood to
approximately 16 inches (40 cm) from
the engine compartment then let it drop.
Make sure that the hood is completely
closed and fully latched. Do this by trying
to open it. If it is not perfectly closed, do
not try to push the hood lid down, but
open it and repeat the procedure.
Note: Always check that the hood is
closed correctly to prevent it from
opening while the vehicle is travelling.
Since the hood is equipped with a double
locking system, one for each side, you
must check that it is closed on each side.
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.
POWER LIFTGATE
Unlocking of the liftgate is electrically
operated and is deactivated when the
vehicle is in motion.
If anything obstructs the power liftgate
while it is closing or opening, the liftgate
will automatically reverse to the closed
or open position, provided it meets
sufficient resistance.
The liftgate height is adjustable to avoid
difficulties in tight spaces. To customize
the liftgate opening position, proceed as
follows:
1. Open the liftgate.
2. Manually move the liftgate to the
desired position.
3. Push one of the closing buttons for at
least five seconds (successful
programming is indicated by the turn
signals flashing three times).
The liftgate is now programmed to open
to the set position.
This function can be selected on the
Information and Entertainment System.
To set the liftgate opening height, refer
to the Information and Entertainment
System Owner’s Manual Supplement for
further information.
