WARNING
Risk of injury! When closing, make sure
that the hood is completely unobstructed
and that no one can be injured.
Swipe your hand from left to right under
the hood, grasp the handle and move it up
and to the side to release the catch and lift
the hood.
WARNING
Make sure the hood locks securely after
closing. It must audibly lock on both sides.
Warning - hood not closed
When the hood is released, a warn-
ing symbol and graphic will be dis-
played in the instrument panel and
an audible signal will sound. If the
vehicle begins to roll, the audible signal will be
repeated several times.
Pull the lever near the pedals to release
the hood from its fully closed position.
NOTE
If the warning symbol is illuminated or an
audible warning signal sounds even though
the hood is securely closed, consult a
workshop - an authorized Volvo workshop
is recommended.
