How to Open the Hood of a Ford New Focus?

[VonMalachi]

Here are the steps to open the hood: 1. In most sedans, the hood release lever is located under the dashboard near the driver's left calf, facing the front of the car. Pulling this lever will cause the hood to pop up about 1cm. Then, while lifting the hood with one hand, use the other hand to reach inside the upper part of the grille to find the hood latch. The position of the latch is generally similar across different car models, but the direction of operation may vary. 2. After sitting in the driver's seat, locate the release lever near your left leg and pull it to slightly lift the hood. Then, move to the front of the car, facing the Focus. On the left side, through the gap, you will see a yellow lever. Pull it again to fully lift the hood. There is a yellow rod; lift it and hook the small end into the hole on the hood. 3. When closing the hood, do not press it down. Lift the hood to about three hand-widths above the closed position and let it close by its own weight.
