Today we will discover the instructions that will show us how to open the engine hood of the Volkswagen Tiguan, in simple steps. First, we open the front door of the vehicle and start pulling the hood release lever, located at the bottom left (on the plastic pillar); then we move to the front to unlock the lock pin, located in the central part between the bumper and the engine hood, as shown in the video.

At this point, we lift the engine hood held by the hydraulic pistons, and finally lower the engine hood to close it again.
