How to open the engine hood of the Audi Q5

Model: Audi Q5 MK 2, 80A - Years 2017-2025
Part: Checks and maintenance

We will briefly see the instructions that will allow us to open the hood of the Audi Q5. First, let's open the driver's side front door and start pulling the hood release lever located at the bottom, to the left of the pedals; then, let's move to the front of the vehicle and slide the hood lock release lever located in the center, between the grille of the bumper and the hood, as shown in the video. At this point, we lift the hood, securing the rod to hold it up (or held by the hydraulic pistons); gently lower the hood to close it.
