GMC Terrain: Vehicle Checks / Hood
To open the hood:

- Pull the hood release lever with
this symbol on it. It is on the
lower left side of the instrument
panel between the door and
the steering wheel.

- Go to the front of the vehicle to
find the secondary hood
release handle. The handle is
under the front edge of the
hood near the center. Push the
handle to the right and raise
the hood.

- Release the hood prop from its
retainer, located above the
radiator. Securely place the
hood prop into the slot on the
underside of the hood.
To close the hood:
- Before closing the hood, be
sure all the filler caps are
properly installed.
- Lift the hood to relieve
pressure on the hood prop.
Remove the hood prop from
the slot on the underside of the
hood and return the prop to its
retainer. The prop rod must
click into place when returning
it to the retainer to prevent
hood damage.
Lower the hood so that it is
30 cm (12 in) above the vehicle
and release it so it fully latches.
4. Check to make sure the hood
is closed. If not, repeat
Steps 1–3 in the “To open the
hood” section and then
proceed with repeating
Steps 1–4 in this section.
