Today we will use this video tutorial to explain how to open and close the front hood of the Opel Meriva model B, produced from 2010 to 2017 in a simple and fast way. To open the front hood of our Opel, we need to lift the opening lever next to the accelerator pedal.

When the hood is slightly open, just position yourself in front of it to lift it and hook it onto the locking rod. After completing the inspection and maintenance operations, remove the locking rod and let the front hood close on its own.
