To Tilt the Hood

p3 dm 02.07.001

A grab handle at the front of the hood provides a hand-hold for hood tilting. Two tilt-assist struts help to tilt the hood open, and to return it to the operating position. A damper controls the closing rate of the hood and hood straps prevent the hood from overtravel. In the operating position, the hood is secured by a hold-down latch on each side of the hood.

  1. Apply the parking brakes.
  2. Release both hood hold-down latches by pulling the ends outward.
  3. Using the bumper step and grab handle, slowly tilt the hood until the straps support it. See Fig..
