Opening the hood

To open the hood, you need to pull two separate release levers. Be sure to close the hood again before driving the vehicle.

Locations of release levers

Interior hood lever location
The first lever is below the dashboard on the driver's side, just in front of the door hinge.
Exterior hood lever location
The second lever is below the front edge of the hood, on the driver's side.

Releasing the hood

  1. Find the first lever below the dashboard on the driver's side and pull it back.
    The hood releases from its fully locked position. It opens slightly, which gives you access to the second lever.
  2. Release lever under the hood
    Locate the second lever below the front edge of the hood and pull it to the right.
    The hood releases fully.
  3. Lift the hood and open it to its fully extended height.
    The hood will stay in position.

Warning

Do not drive with the hood open

Stop the vehicle immediately if there is any indication that the hood is not completely closed.

Note

Open hood warning

If you see an open hood warning in the instrument panel, open the hood and check for obstructions before closing it again. Contact Volvo support if the notification doesn't go away.
