In this brief and simple guide, follow these steps to open the front bonnet of the Ford Focus. This vehicle does not have the traditional bonnet release (with the internal lever); instead, rotate the manufacturer's emblem found on the grille and insert the key to unlock the bonnet lock, as shown in the video.

At this point, lift the bonnet and insert the prop rod to secure it safely; finally, lower the bonnet to close it!
