2012 – 2022 Models

1. Park and turn off your vehicle.
2. Pull the hood release lever, marked by a symbol of a car with an open hood located to the lower left of your steering column.
3. Once you pull the first hood release lever, the hood will pop up slightly, and you will hear an audible click.
4. Move to the car’s front and pull the secondary hood latch to the right to release the hood. This latch is located just above the Chevy logo on your grill.
5. Release the hood prop from the retainer and insert it into the slot marked with an arrow on the underside of the hood frame.
