To open the front bonnet of a Nissan Qashqai, first locate the release lever inside the cabin. This lever is usually found at the bottom of the dashboard, near the driver's seat or on the side of the brake pedal.

Once you have located the lever, pull it towards you with some force. This will activate the bonnet release mechanism from the inside of the car. After pulling the lever, exit the vehicle and gently lift the front edge of the bonnet.

This should further unlock the bonnet and allow you to lift it completely. Ensure you keep the bonnet raised in the open position using the bonnet support, if available, to prevent it from closing accidentally.

Once you have completed the tasks under the bonnet, gently lower it and close it securely.
