Today we will explain how to open and close the front hood of the BMW X3. To perform this simple operation, we must lift the hood release lever located next to the driver's side door seal. After pulling the lever, we will notice that the front hood will slightly lift.

Let's position ourselves in front of the front hood and lift it after moving the internal lever from left to right. To hold the hood in place during our maintenance, we use the side locking bracket.

To close the hood, we just need to let it fall on its own.
