How to Open the Engine Hood of the Mistra?

[Kyle]

Here are the specific steps to open the engine hood of the Mistra: 1. Locate the hood release handle under the dashboard on the driver's side near the front of the car. Pull it, and the hood will pop up about 1cm. Use one hand to lift the hood while reaching under the grille with the other hand to find and pull the secondary release lever. 2. If the Mistra's hood won't open, it's likely because the rubber bump stops on both sides inside the engine compartment are adjusted too far outward, preventing the latches from engaging properly. 3. After opening, apply lubricant to the latch holes and adjust the rubber bump stops on both sides by turning them inward to reduce their protrusion. This will allow the hood to close properly.
