To carry out this task, ensure your vehicle is turned off and not running. Engage the handbrake and locate the two points to unlock the bonnet, as indicated in the video. These are located at the corners of the front grille near the headlights. Rotate the levers, and you can then extract the panel covering your bonnet by simply pulling it towards you. Support the bonnet with the appropriate hooks on the designated brackets to keep it securely open.
