How do you open the Cadillac DeVille hood?

I was going to try my hand at changing my car’s oil myself and save a little bit of money in the process—and then I realized I couldn’t even open my car hood. How do you open a 2005 Cadillac DeVille hood?

Opening a car hood can be deceptively tricky since the release levers vary somewhat from vehicle to vehicle.
To lift your
Cadillac DeVille
hood, you’ll first need to find the hood release lever inside your vehicle’s cabin. It’s located on the lower left side of the instrument panel or to the left of your steering wheel near the driver side door.
Pull up on the Cadillac DeVille’s hood release lever. Then, go to the front of your vehicle and move the second hood release lever. Depending on what kind of vehicles you’ve been accustomed to, its location can be somewhat unexpected—you’ll find it under the bottom the center portion of your grille.
After you release both levers, you’ll be able to
open the hood
.
As cars get older, it helps to make sure the hood release mechanisms are well-lubricated and free of rust to keep them operating smoothly. If you’ve pulled both release levers and your hood still feels stuck, you might want to seek out a mechanic’s help to avoid damaging anything.
That’s all there is to it! As you continue taking care of your Cadillac DeVille’s maintenance, ensure everything under the hood is protected by the right
car insurance
