Opening a vehicle hood can be more difficult than it seems, since it varies from vehicle to vehicle.
To open your 2022
Chevrolet Colorado
hood, you’ll need to locate the hood release lever, which has a symbol of a car with its hood open on it. You’ll find it on the lower left side of the instrument panel, or to the left of your steering wheel, toward the floor of your cabin and near the driver side door.
After you pull on the hood release lever, go to the front of your vehicle to find a second hood release lever just under the front end of the center of the hood. Slide the hood release lever to the right (toward the driver’s side).
Once you’ve released both levers, your
Chevrolet
Colorado’s gas strut system will lift your hood!
Once you’ve properly replaced everything under the hood, you can close it again by pulling down on the hood until the strut system is no longer holding it up. Then you can let it fall and latch close, but be sure to verify that the hood did latch closed before you start driving. If it didn’t latch, just open the hood again and close it with a little more force.
That’s all there is to it! As you continue keeping up with your Chevy Colorado’s
routine maintenance
, make sure it’s also protected by the right
car insurance
