How to Open a Stuck Bonnet on a Fiat Punto?

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Body

If you have a problem opening the bonnet on your vehicle, where pulling the lever located just to the side of the driver's door at the bottom of the dashboard does not release the bonnet, follow the instructions below as shown in the video. Take a 12 mm socket wrench and insert it just below the left side of the Fiat logo on the front grille to remove the external opening lock. Then, use a lever to finally release the lock from the outside so you can open the bonnet.
