How to open the locked front hood of the Toyota Corolla MK3

Model: Toyota Corolla MK 3 - Years 2006-2013
Part: Body

If the front hood of our Toyota Corolla MK3 remains locked, what is the procedure to follow? We see it in this video. The closing mechanism is located behind the front grille, so it is best to lift the car slightly in order to reach the lock above the radiator fan; we will need to press the opening lever to the right to open it. Once we have managed to open the hood from the inside, we can understand how the mechanism works and see how it closes. In this way, we can check the functioning of the mechanism and repair it so that when closing the hood, it can easily reopen.
