Today we will discover the instructions that will allow us to open the engine hood of the Mercedes CLA, in simple and quick steps. First, we open the front door on the driver's side and start pulling the red lever that we find at the bottom, under the steering wheel; then we move to the front of the car and release the lock pin of the engine hood, which we find in the central part between the hood and the bumper, as shown in the video.

At this point, we lift the engine hood, held by the hydraulic pistons; we lower it until it closes correctly (until it clicks).
