Opening the hood

You need to pull two separate release levers to open the hood; this provides access to the front storage compartment. Be sure to close the hood again before driving the vehicle.

Locations of release levers

Interior hood lever location
The first lever can be found below the dashboard on the driver's side, just in front of the door hinge.
Exterior hood lever location
The second lever is below the front edge of the hood, on the driver's side.

Releasing the hood

Pull back on the hood release lever inside the vehicle.
The hood releases from its fully locked position. It opens slightly, which gives you access to the second lever.
