How do you open the hood of a Citroen C3?

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Body

It may seem trivial, but if we don't know how to do it, nothing is: to open the front hood of a Citroen C3, we must go to the left side of the car, then under the steering wheel for cars with left-hand drive, and look for a red lever. We must pull it and hear a dull noise coming from the front of the car. At that point, we must go in front of the hood, enter with our fingers under the central part of it, and snap the metal hinge we find to the left. We lift the hood with the other arm, and look for the rod that will support its weight while it remains open, wedging it into the appropriate hole.
