To open the hood

Pull the release handle (located under the left side
of the dash).
Lift the hood slightly, insert a hand under the
center line of the hood and depress the safety
catch handle. Open the hood.
WARNING!
Check that the hood locks properly when
closed.





The hood opens normally to an angle of
approximately 55°. To open it to a completely
vertical position, press both red catches upward as
shown in the illustration. Make sure that the
catches return to their normal position. When
closing the hood, lift it slightly first and then press
the catches downward.
Ensure adequate clearance in low-roof garages to
avoid damaging the hood.

Replacing tail light bulbs
(wagon models)

l Turn off the lights.
l Remove the cover with a screw driver.
l Rotate the bulb holder about 1/4" (0.6
cm) counterclockwise and remove the
holder from the tail light cluster.
l Gently press the bulb into the holder,
then rotate the bulb counterclockwise in
order to release it.
l Install a new bulb in the holder and
replace the bulb holder in the tail light
cluster. One of the guide lugs on the bulb holder
is slightly wider than the other two and,
thus, this lug fits into the widest recess
only.
l Turn the bulb holder clockwise
l Check that the bulb lights
l Re-install cluster cover

Two types of bulbs are in use
The guide lugs on the twin-pole bulb are
at different heights, and it is only possible
to fit these bulbs in one way. Try at first to
turn the bulb gently. Do not use force. If
this does not work, take out the bulb and
turn it half a turn and try again.
