Hyundai Creta: Hood / Opening the hood

1. Make sure the shift lever is in P (Park, for automatic transaxle) or first gear or R (Reverse, for manual transaxle) and set the parking brake.

2. Pull the release lever to unlatch the hood. The hood should pop open slightly.

3. Go to the front of the vehicle, raise the hood slightly, push the secondary latch up (1) inside of the hood center and lift the hood (2).

4. Pull out the support rod.

5. Hold the hood opened with the support rod.

WARNING

Support rod

• Grasp the support rod in the area wrapped in rubber. The rubber will help prevent you from being burned by hot metal when the engine is hot.
• The support rod must be inserted completely into the hole provided whenever you inspect the engine compartment. This will prevent the hood from falling and possibly injuring you.
