Hood

Set the parking brake, on models with AT make sure that the selector lever is in the position «R». The hood latch release lever is located on the left under the instrument panel (see illustrations 4.1 and 15.1). Pulling the lever should open the hood slightly.



For the final release of the hood, go around the car in front and press the release lever of the additional lock (see illustration 4.2). After releasing the latch, raise the hood, after making sure that the wiper arms are not retracted from the glass. The hood is held open automatically by a gas-filled strut. Before closing the hood, make sure that no tools, rags or other foreign objects have been left in the engine compartment.



To close, gently pull the hood down, lower it, leaving a gap of about 20 centimeters, then release it. To check that the hood is securely locked in the closed position, pull up on the front edge of the hood.

Note: In order to avoid damage to the paintwork, you should not press the loosely closed hood with your hands - it will be correct to open it again and try again to close it with release from a small height.
