1. Locate the bonnet release lever: The bonnet release lever is usually located near the driver's footwell or in the center console of the vehicle. It is typically marked with a symbol that resembles a car hood or an arrow pointing upwards.
2. Pull the bonnet release lever: If the lever is still functional, pulling it will release the bonnet catch.
3. Locate the bonnet release cable: If pulling the lever does not work or the lever is broken, you will need to locate the bonnet release cable. The cable is usually located near the bonnet release lever.
4. Pull the bonnet release cable: Pulling the bonnet release cable will release the bonnet latch.
5. Open the bonnet: Once the latch is released, you will be able to open the bonnet by lifting it upwards.
Here are some additional tips:
- If you are unable to locate the bonnet release lever or cable, refer to the vehicle's owner's manual for instructions specific to your model.
- If the latch is still stuck after pulling the bonnet release cable, try spraying some penetrating oil or lubricant into the latch mechanism to free it up.
- If you are unable to release the bonnet yourself, you may need to consult with a qualified mechanic or seek assistance from a professional towing service.
