Chevrolet Silverado EV 2024 Instruction Manual page 23

22 Keys, Doors, and Windows
Off (Manual Operation)
Press and release the touch pad on the front
fascia. Lift the hood to open to a desired
height.
Pull down on the hood until the power
assist engages to close. A chime will sound
to indicate power activation. The power
assist will only activate when the hood is
above a minimum open position.
To prevent damage to the vehicle, do not
move the hood too quickly or use excessive
force.
Obstacle Detection Features
If the hood encounters an obstacle during a
power open or close cycle, the hood will
automatically reverse direction and move
away from the obstacle. After removing the
obstruction, the power hood operation can
be used again.
If the vehicle is locked while the hood is
closing and an obstacle is encountered that
prevents the hood from completely closing,
the horn will sound an alert that the hood
did not close.
Falling Hood Detection
If the power hood encounters excess weight
or a possible mechanical failure, a repetitive
chime will sound and the hood will
automatically lower to a stable position.
If the hood stops before fulling closing,
carefully push the hood closed while
keeping hands away from the edges of
the hood.
If the hood continues to automatically close
after opening, see your dealer for service
before using the power hood.
Interfering with the power hood motion or
manually closing the hood too quickly may
activate the falling hood detection feature.
Allow the hood to complete its operation
and wait a few seconds before manually
closing the hood.
Operating the Hood When There is No
Electrical Power
The manual release cable should only be
used for service and/or emergency use, such
as loss of vehicle electrical power. Do not
store any cargo in the area near the hood
release cable.

to release the hood. It is on the lower
left side of the instrument panel.
3. Go to the front of the vehicle and lift
the hood to the desired height.
To close the hood:
1. Before closing the hood, make sure all
cargo is properly stowed and does not
go above or across the hood seal.

the latch.
