Safety Latch Location
Lift the hood prop rod that clips to the right side (left side when standing in front of the hood) of the engine compartment. Place the hood prop rod in the hole of hood hinge to secure the hood in the open position.
In hot climates, the prop rod may be hot. Pick up the prop rod at the foam on the end of the prop rod.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your vehicle. If the hood
is not fully latched, it could open when the vehicle is in motion and block your
vision.
Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to close it. Lower the hood until it is open approximately 8 in (20 cm) and then drop it. This should secure both latches. Never drive your vehicle unless the hood is fully closed, with both latches engaged.
