Opening the bonnet for many Ford models does not occur through the classic lever located in the cabin, down to the left of the driver's side, but must be opened from the outside using the ignition key; the lock is located right in the centre of the grille, just below the manufacturer's badge; to insert the key, slide the plastic cover protecting the lock seat sideways, then insert the key and turn it to release the lock and open the bonnet; this solution aims to give access to the engine compartment only to the owner of the vehicle's key.
