Hood Release - Aston Martin DB11 Owner's Handbook Manual

Hood Release

To open the hood press the button (A) located on the end of the
instrument panel to release the hood latches.
The hood release button is always on the driver's end of the
instrument panel and changes with hand of drive.
Lift on the rear edges of the hood and pull upward and lift until
fully open. The hood is then held open by two gas struts.
To close the hood, lower the hood until it starts to fall under its
own weight. At that point let the hood fall to close. If the hood
does not shut, open the hood again and repeat the closure
procedure, this time assist using light hand pressure as the hood
falls.
Emergency Hood Release
In the unlikely event that either the hood release switch fails to
operate or the vehicle battery is fully discharged there are two
manual release cables (A) located either side of the instrument
panel.
Pull both cables to release the latches for the hood.
