Toyota Camry (XV70): Hood

Release the lock from the inside of the vehicle to open the hood.

1. Pull the hood lock release lever.

The hood will pop up slightly.

2. Pull up the auxiliary catch lever and lift the hood.

3. Hold the hood open by inserting the support rod into the slot.

■Open hood warning buzzer

If the vehicle reaches a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h), the master warning light flashes and a buzzer sounds to indicate that the hood is not fully closed.

WARNING

■Pre-driving check

Check that the hood is fully closed and locked.

If the hood is not locked properly, it may open while the vehicle is in motion and cause an accident, which may result in death or serious injury.

■After installing the support rod into the slot

Make sure the rod supports the hood securely preventing it from falling down onto your head or body.

NOTICE

■When closing the hood

Be sure to return the support rod to its clip before closing the hood. Closing the hood with the support rod not clipped could cause the hood to bend.
