Opening a car hood can be surprisingly challenging since it can vary a little from vehicle to vehicle!
The first hood release lever on your Buick Verano should be to the left of your steering wheel near the driver’s door.
Pull up on the hood release lever, and then, at the front of your vehicle, slide the second hood release to the right, which you should be able to find just under the lip of the hood near the center.
From there, your hood should be open, and you can prop it up to take a look inside.
