How to open the engine hood of the Ford Transit

Model: Ford Transit MK 8 - Years 2014-2024
Part: Checks and maintenance

The following steps will show us how to open the hood of the Ford Transit. First, we open the front door on the driver's side and start pulling the hood release lever that we find at the bottom, thus releasing the hood opening mechanism; then we move to the front and pull the small lever that we find between the hood and the bumper grille (located in the central part), as shown in the video. At this point, we lift the hood, securing the rod to lock it; we drop the hood from a certain height to close it.
