1. Release the hood latch inside the ProMaster:
– Locate the hood release latch inside your ProMaster. It is usually located near the driver’s side footwell, under the dashboard.
– Pull the hood release latch to release the primary latch that holds the hood in place.
2. Release the safety latch under the hood:
– Once you have released the primary latch, go to the front of the ProMaster.
– Look for the safety latch, which is located under the hood, near the front grille.
– Release the safety latch by pulling it to open the hood fully.
If you encounter a stuck latch, you can try pulling up on the hood to see if it pops open. Another option is to pull the interior hood release and then gently bang on the hood to see if that helps release the latch.
Remember to always make sure the hood is securely closed before driving to prevent any safety hazards.
