How do you open a Buick Encore hood?

I pulled the hood release lever for my Buick Encore, but it won’t open more than a few inches. How do you open a Buick Encore hood?

To open the
Buick Encore hood
, you need to release the safety latch under the hood itself after you use the interior release lever.
To find the safety latch, go to the front of your vehicle and run your hand under the hood near the center of the grille. Feel for the latch and press it to the side while opening your hood. You should be good to go!
