1. Locate the hood release cable - it's usually located somewhere near the driver's seat, usually under the dash.
2. Pull the hood release cable to pop the hood.
3. If you can't see or reach the hood release cable, you may need to look for a manual release lever in your car's owner's manual.
4. Pry open the hood using a screwdriver or other tool.
_NOTE: Make sure you don't damage your car in this process._
