Hood Release - Buick Enclave 2008 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 side
of the vehicle.
2. At the front of the vehicle, pull up on the bottom
center of the grille, and push the secondary hood
release to the left.
3. After you have partially lifted the hood, a gas strut
automatically lifts and holds the hood in the fully
open position.
Before closing the hood, be sure all filler caps are on
properly.
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 until it is completely latched.
