Introduction

Pneumatic braces are used to hold your hood open while you work on your engine. These braces are only effective for a certain range of motion and are designed to only hold the weight of your hood. Proper use insures your safety.

Don’t you think that people usually access this guide when the hood is stuck closed? In which case these instructions are no more helpful than those in the owner’s manual. I’ve opened the hood of my 2005 Honda Civic countless times, until this morning. Interior release functions just fine, but the secondary release does nothing.
