To open the bonnet of a Volkswagen Polo, first locate the internal release lever near the steering column, usually on the left side of the dashboard. Once found, pull the lever firmly towards you. You will hear the bonnet unlock slightly.

Next, push the bonnet release button, typically located at the front of the grille towards the centre of the vehicle. At this point, lift the bonnet manually until it stays open.

Ensure the bonnet is fully open and secured before working on the engine or closing the bonnet.
