In today's video, we will see how to open the hood of a Toyota Auris Hybrid, a model produced from 2012 onwards. So first of all, we need to pull the hood release lever, which is located on the lower left side of the dashboard.

At this point, the hood will have been released from its latch but will still be locked. To unlock it, we need to push another lever located between the hood and the radiator grille and at the same time lift the hood as shown in the video.

Once this is done, we can fully lift the hood and secure it with the rod located to our left.
