1. Locate the release: Look for a lever or pull-tab that often has a hood or car hood symbol (often looks like a little car hood). It might be under the dashboard near the steering column or slightly to the driver's side.
2. Pull the lever/tab: Once you find it, firmly pull the lever or tab. You might hear a click or a release sound.
3. Go to the front of the vehicle: Open the hood by lifting it slightly. There's usually a support rod (or strut) that will help hold the hood open.
If you can't find the lever inside the vehicle, or if it doesn't work, there might be a secondary release under the hood itself (a very rare circumstance in this model, but possible with damage). However, you'll need to access this second release from underneath the vehicle which may be difficult without already having access to the engine bay, rendering it almost useless in a normal use case.
If you're still having trouble, a quick online search for "2004 Jeep Liberty hood release location" with images will show you exactly where it is. A picture is usually worth a thousand words in this situation!
