I am a new GMC owner but can’t figure out how to open its hood. Can you help me figure out how to open the hood of a GMC Canyon?

Congrats on your first GMC!
It’s always tricky figuring out how to open the hood on a new car. Here’s how to open a
GMC Canyon’s
hood:
  • Find the hood release lever on the driver’s side. This will be on the lower, left-hand side of your steering wheel. You’ll know it’s the right lever because of the icon of a car with an open hood.
  • Once you’ve found the lever, pull it to pop the hood.
  • Walk around to the front of your car. The hood should be open just far enough that you can slide your fingers underneath.
  • Above the front bumper’s

    logo will be the safety latch. This holds the hood in place. Sliding your fingers beneath the hood, feel for the safety latch and push it to the left to release the hood.
  • You can now fully open the hood and access the engine.
