The front hood opening system on Mini Cooper vehicles, like on other vehicles, is connected to the vehicle's opening. To open the hood, it is necessary to unlock the vehicle and then lift the internal lever located near the seat.

After that, you just need to go in front of the vehicle and insert your fingers near the Mini logo to open the hood completely. Once the hood is locked using the rod, you can perform necessary checks such as checking the oil level or other liquids in the various tanks.

To close the hood, you will need to remove the rod and let it fall on itself.
