1. Locate the Bonnet Release Lever Inside the Car:
Open the driver's door and sit in the driver's seat.
Look for a small lever or handle typically located on the left-hand side of the footwell area. It may be near the dashboard or under the steering wheel.
2. Pull the Bonnet Release Lever:
Once you've found the bonnet release lever, pull it towards you. This should release the bonnet latch and allow the bonnet to pop up slightly.
3. Locate the Secondary Bonnet Latch:
When the bonnet pops up slightly, you'll see a secondary bonnet latch near the front of the bonnet. This latch is located in the center or near the radiator area.
4. Release the Secondary Bonnet Latch:
Pull the secondary bonnet latch upwards or outwards to disengage it. Some Seat Ibiza models may have a lever or button that needs to be pressed or slid to release the secondary latch.
5. Lift the Bonnet:
With both the bonnet release lever and the secondary bonnet latch released, you can now lift the bonnet fully open. Be careful not to let go of the bonnet while lifting it, as it can fall back down suddenly and cause damage.
6. Prop Open the Bonnet:
Once the bonnet is fully lifted, locate the bonnet stay or prop rod. This is usually located near the bonnet hinges. Extend the bonnet stay to keep the bonnet open and secure.
When you're done working in the engine bay, remember to close the bonnet properly by releasing the bonnet stay, lowering the bonnet carefully, and engaging both the bonnet release lever and the secondary bonnet latch.
Note that the exact location and mechanism of the bonnet release lever may vary slightly depending on the model and year of your Seat Ibiza. If you have difficulty finding or using the bonnet release lever, consult your vehicle's owner's manual or seek assistance from a qualified mechanic.
