Hood - GMC Chevrolet Cavalier 2022 Owner's Manual

Caution
Even small amounts of contamination can
cause damage to vehicle systems. Do not
allow contaminants to contact the fluids,
reservoir caps, or dipsticks.

Hood

To open the hood:
1. Open the driver door and pull the hood
release handle. It is on the lower left
side of the instrument panel between
the door and the steering wheel.
2. Go to the front of the vehicle to find the
secondary hood release handle. The
handle is under the front edge of the
hood near the center. Push the handle to
the right and at the same time raise
the hood.
3. Remove the hood prop from its retainer,
located above the radiator. Securely
place the hood prop into the slot on the
underside of the hood.
Vehicle Care
To close the hood:
1. Before closing the hood, be sure all the
filler caps are properly installed.
2. Lift the hood to relieve pressure on the
hood prop. Remove the hood prop from
the slot on the underside of the hood
and return the prop to its retainer. The
prop rod must click into place when
returning it to the retainer to prevent
hood damage.
3. Lower the hood 30 cm (12 in) above the
vehicle and release it so it fully latches.
4. Check to make sure the hood is closed.
If not, release the hood from inside and
repeat Steps 1 3.
