Zusammenfassung:	A hood elevation system and method are provided for a vehicle. The system includes a first member configured to couple with a body member within an engine compartment of a vehicle and a second member configured to couple with a hood latch of the vehicle and the first member. The second member is releasably slideable away from the first member upon activation of an actuator. In this way, the hood latch is elevated by the actuator moving the second member to elevate the hood of the vehicle. The method includes activating (via a controller) an actuator coupled to a first member, causing the actuator to release and slide a second member relative to the first member, the second member coupled to a hood latch engaging a hood of a vehicle to elevate the hood responsive to the controller detecting a condition.
