To open the hood of the Mercedes A-Class, go inside the cabin on the driver's side and pull the red lever. This is located under the steering column, near the accelerator pedal.

When the lever is pulled, you will hear a click; this is caused by the hood latch mechanism releasing. Next, insert your finger into the opening and pull the lever located there to the left while lifting the hood simultaneously.

At this point, release the lever and secure the hood with the prop rod.
