To open the hood of the Mercedes CLA, locate the lever under the steering column: you can find it on the lower left side. This red lever needs to be pulled down to unlock the hood latch actuator.

Once the actuator is unlocked, insert your hand into the central lower part of the hood. This will allow you to remove the pin that secures the hood, enabling you to lift it. To close it, simply lower it with enough force.
