  1. Release both hood hold-down latches by pulling the handles outward.
    2. Notice: For hoods with tilt-assist springs, do not let the hood free-fall to the full-open position. To do so could cause damage to the hood or hood springs.
  2. Using the bumper step for leverage, slowly tilt the hood with both hands on the grab handle. See Fig..

    Fig. 1, Hood Opening and Closing

  3. As the hood starts to open, put your foot on the ground, and walk backwards as you pull. The hood will stop in the full-open position.
