How to Open the Bonnet of a Citroen C3

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

Enter the vehicle, specifically the driver's seat. Beneath the dashboard, on the left side of the vehicle, you will notice a small lever. This is the bonnet release lever. Pull this lever towards you. Once this step is completed, exit the vehicle and go to the front of the bonnet. You will see that the bonnet is slightly ajar but not fully open. To fully open it, pull the lever located in the gap between the bonnet and the car, then lift the bonnet. To secure it in position, simply raise the bonnet support rod, and once positioned, you will have successfully completed the task.
