As shown in this tutorial, opening the hood on a Mercedes S-Class is a very simple operation. First, open the driver's side door, then locate the red release lever under the dashboard, in the outermost area.

Once activated, go to the front of the vehicle, lift the hood slightly, and find the second lever that appears inside the grille, which must be pulled outward to fully unlock it. To close it, simply lower it gently until it is completely secured.
