In this video, we can see how to open the engine bonnet on the Mini Countryman. This is a very simple operation, although it has a small difference compared to other vehicles, which may initially cause confusion.

The lever for opening the bonnet is located at the bottom left on the driver's side, and you need to pull it fully twice, as indicated on the lever itself. Once done, you can lift the bonnet, which will stay up automatically without needing to be secured with the usual prop.
