How to open the hood of the Mini Cooper

Model: Mini Mini R53, R50, R52 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Checks and maintenance

Today's steps will show us how to open the hood of the Mini Cooper, following the instructions below. First, we open the front driver's side door and start pulling the plastic lever we find at the bottom, next to the pedals; then we move to the front of the car and release the hood latch lever, so we can lift it up, as shown in the video. At this point, all we have to do is lower the hood to close it again, applying some pressure downwards, following the video until the end!
