Opening
 | With the hood completely closed, pull the control (located to the left of the brake pedal). |
 | Turn the handle under the front edge of the hood counterclockwise to release it from the lock and lift. |
Warning–hood not closed
When the hood lock has been completely released, this symbol and a graphic will illuminate in the instrument panel and an audible signal will be given. If the vehicle begins to roll, the audible signal will be repeated several times.
For additional information about this symbol, see also the article "Door and seat belt reminders."
Note
If the warning symbol remains on or if the audible signal is given even if the hood is completely closed and locked, consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
Closing
Press down the hood until it begins to close due to its own weight.
When the handle under the front edge of the hood is in the lock, press down on the hood to close it completely.
Warning
- Be sure the hood is completely unobstructed while it is being closed.
- Check that the hood locks properly when closed. It must audibly lock on both sides.
- Never drive if the hood is not completely closed and locked.
- While driving, if there are any indications that the hood is not locked in the closed position, stop safely as soon as possible and close it completely.
