Not sure if you have solved this yet but I still thought I would squeeze my input in.
To the best of my knowledge, it should start with the hood open. I start mine all the time (albeit with the alarm disabled) with the hood open. Make sure you are getting good contact on your jumper cables though and try to get use the EKA code (procedure in the RAVE) to make sure that the Alarm is disarmed.
