Owner Maintenance

Opening the Bonnet

  1. With the vehicle parked, pull the release handle to unlock the bonnet.

     

  2. Insert your hand into the bonnet opening, slide the latch lever to the right, and lift up the bonnet.

     

  3. Grasp the support rod in the padded area and secure it in the support rod hole indicated by the arrow to hold the bonnet open.

     

Body Lubrication

All moving points of the body, such as door and bonnet hinges and locks, should be lubricated each time the engine oil is changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on locks during cold weather.

 

Make sure the bonnet's secondary latch keeps the bonnet from opening when the primary latch is released.
