Locate the emergency bonnet release lever: It is usually located inside the car, near the driver's footwell. It may be hidden behind a small panel or trim. Consult the car's user manual for the exact location.
Pull the emergency release lever: Once you have found the lever, pull it to release the bonnet catch. You may need to use a bit of force to pull the lever.
Open the bonnet: With the bonnet catch released, you should be able to open the bonnet by lifting it up. It may be helpful to have someone assist you in holding the bonnet up while you release the catch and lift it.
Secure the bonnet: After the bonnet is open, you should secure it in the open position using the bonnet prop rod. This will prevent the bonnet from accidentally closing and causing injury.
Replace the broken bonnet catch: Once the bonnet is open, you can replace the broken bonnet catch with a new one. This is a relatively simple task that you can perform yourself with basic tools. Refer to the car's user manual or consult with a mechanic if you need assistance.
