Who has not attempted to open the bonnet of a car? Whether to check or top up various fluids, such as the windscreen washer reservoir, radiator, etc., or to change the engine oil and more, everyone has had to perform this task at some point. It could be considered standard, given the method of execution, regardless of the car model; indeed, the Mini in question is no exception.

To open the bonnet, access the cabin, pull the lever next to the driver's door at the bottom, go to the front of the bonnet, lift it slightly to insert your hand, unlock the catch, and finish by raising it completely.
