This guide shows how to open the bonnet of a Subaru Forester. To unlock the bonnet catch, pull the lever located in the cabin on the driver's side, at the bottom of the dashboard.

Next, go to the front of the vehicle and locate the release lever for the bonnet; it is positioned near the manufacturer's logo, in the gap between the movable part and the radiator grille. The catch unlocks by pushing it to the left.

After this operation, the bonnet can be lifted freely. To close it, simply reposition the bonnet and apply a gentle push.
