In this video, see how to open the bonnet of a Citroen C3 1st series. At the bottom of the dashboard, under the steering wheel, there is a red handle.

Pull it firmly: you will hear a click that unlocks the bonnet. Now, let's deal with the front.

By placing a finger under the bonnet, you will find a small black handle that pushes it to the left; do not lift it quickly, take it with both hands and raise it carefully. Take the support rod and position it in its designated location.

Now the bonnet is fully open.
