Fig. 1–62. Hood release handle
To unlock the hood, pull out the handle located on the side pillar on the left under the instrument panel - the hood will be released from the locking device and, under the action of the spring, will rise up, at the same time a pull-out handle will appear in the radiator grille.
For opening the hood should be lifted slightly and the handle pulled in the direction of the arrow - the safety hook will be released.
Raise the hood and open it fully. The hood is held open by gas-filled struts.
For closing grasp the hood from the side where the gas-filled strut is located. Pull the hood down until the counterforce of the gas-filled strut is overcome, release the hood and let it close freely - no need to press.
