How to Open the Bonnet of a Toyota Corolla?

Model: Toyota Corolla MK 5, E210 - Years 2019-2026
Part: Body

Start by sitting in the driver's seat of your Toyota Corolla. Look under the dashboard on the left side of the driver: there you will find a bonnet release lever. Gently pull this lever. You may hear a small "click" when the mechanism releases. Now, exit the vehicle and head to the front of the bonnet. You will find another secondary release lever, towards the centre of the vehicle. Move this lever and lift the bonnet slightly to ensure it is fully released. Once sure, lift it completely and secure it with the bonnet prop, and you will have correctly opened the front bonnet of your Toyota Corolla.

As shown in this video, replacing the spring is quite simple and takes little time. After opening the casing halfway, first position the key, then the spring housing, and finally insert the spring into the previously mentioned housing. Close the casing by rotating it clockwise, ensuring all components fit perfectly, and test the key's flip mechanism.
