Hood Release - GMC Acadia 15919282 Owner's Manual

Hood Release

To open the hood, do the following:
1. Pull the hood release handle with
this symbol on it. It is located
under the instrument panel
on the driver's side of the vehicle.
2. At the front of the vehicle, pull up
on the center of the hood, and
push the secondary hood release
to the right.
3. After you have partially lifted the
hood, gas struts will automatically
take over to lift and hold the
hood in the fully open position.
Before closing the hood, be sure all
filler caps are on properly.
Service and Appearance Care
Pull the hood down to close. Lower
the hood until the lifting pressure
of the strut is reduced. Then
allow the hood to fall and latch into
place under its own weight.
Check to make sure the hood is
closed. If the hood does not
fully latch, gently push the hood
down at the front and center of the
hood until it is completely latched.
