When closing the back door, the inside  
handle can be used to make the reach  
easier.  
To open the hood:  
2. In front of the vehicle, pull up the  
auxiliary catch lever and lift the  
hood.  
1. Pull the hood lock release lever. The  
hood will spring up slightly.  
To close the back door, lower it and press  
down on it. After closing the back door,  
try pulling it up to make sure it is secure-  
ly closed.  
CAUTION  
Before driving, be sure that the hood  
is closed and securely locked. Other-  
wise, the hood may open unexpected-  
ly while driving and an accident may  
occur.  
CAUTION  
Keep the back door closed while driv-  
ing. This not only keeps the luggage  
from being thrown out but also pre-  
vents exhaust gases from entering  
the vehicle.

NOTICE  
Be sure to return the support rod to  
its clip before closing the hood. Clos-  
ing the hood with the support rod up  
could cause the hood to bend.  
3. Hold the hood open by inserting the  
support rod into the slot.  
This indicates that the fuel filler door  
is on the left side of your vehicle.  
Before closing the hood, check to see that  
you have not forgotten any tools, rags,  
etc. and return the support rod to its  
clip—this prevents rattles. Then lower the  
hood and make sure it locks into place.  
If necessary, press down gently on the  
front edge to lock it.  
CAUTION  
After inserting the support rod into  
the slot, make sure the rod supports  
the hood securely from falling down  
on to your head or body.
