To open the bonnet of the Volkswagen Tiguan MK2, first open the driver's door. Under the steering column, you will find the bonnet release lever: pull it towards you. At this point, the bonnet will be released from the main latch.

Lift the bonnet slightly and, above the Volkswagen logo, locate the safety lever: push it upwards and lift the bonnet. To close, lower the bonnet to halfway, then let it drop with a gentle push from the mid-position: this way, it will latch correctly.

If it does not close using this method, press down from above until fully closed. The procedure is simple and requires no tools.
