-Flat head screwdriver
-Small Phillips head screwdriver
-Flashlight
Instructions:
1. First, locate the small air vent on the rear engine cover. It is usually located on the driver’s side just above the taillight.
2. Use a thin flat head screwdriver to pop out the rubber gasket in the air vent. This will expose a small hole.
3. Now use a small Phillips head screwdriver to turn the manual release lever. Turning the lever clockwise will release the locking mechanism.
4. Press down on the engine lid and then pull up to open it.
5. Use a flashlight to inspect the cable and determine what needs to be repaired or replaced.
Note: If the cable has snapped off at the lever, you may need to use pliers to manually release the locking mechanism. Be sure to inspect the engine lid for any damage caused by the snapped cable before operating the vehicle.
