I just helped my neighbor with this a few days ago. Opening the hood of a Focus isn't too difficult, but you need to follow the steps. First, sit in the driver's seat. There's a small black lever near your left foot—just pull it, and you'll hear a slight click, indicating the primary latch is released. Then, get out and go to the front of the car. Squat down and feel along the edge of the hood, either in the middle or near the logo. You'll find a small plastic handle or button. Gently push or pull it upward, and then you can lift the entire hood. Remember to secure the support rod into its slot; otherwise, the hood could fall and cause injury. Take your time with the process—don't rush. I've seen beginners forget about the safety latch and try to lift it directly. When checking fluids, it's best to do so with the engine off to avoid burns. This is a really useful skill—once you learn it, you can handle basic maintenance and inspections yourself, saving trips to the repair shop.
