Engine hood arrangement for a motor vehicle

An engine hood arrangement for a motor vehicle, the engine hood arrangement comprising:

• an engine hood which, in a closing position, closes an engine compartment access opening of a vehicle body;
• two spaced-apartment hinge arrangements, each hinge arrangement comprising:
• a vehicle body-side base element;
• and
• an engine hood-side pivoting element which, in the closing position, produces a positive fit on both sides with respect to a vertical axis, wherein the engine hood is pivotable from the closing position to an opening position by a pivoting movement about a pivot axis running parallel to a transverse axis and, from the opening position, is releasable from the vehicle body by an at least proportionately translational decoupling movement together with the engine hood-side pivoting element;
• and
• a positioning arrangement spaced apart from the pivot axis, the positioning arrangement comprising:
• two spaced-apartment engine hood-side positioning elements;
• and
• two vehicle body-side mating elements which form a positive fit in the closing position, as a result of which the positioning arrangement determines a position of the engine hood with respect to at least a horizontal axis which runs perpendicular to the vertical axis.
