Where is the switch to open the front hood of the Audi A4?

The switch to open the front hood of the Audi A4 is located in the main driver's compartment, on the left side where there is a pull handle. After pulling it, the front hood will open. Walk to the front, right in the middle of the Audi four-ring logo, there is a hidden handle where the hood is slightly opened. Pinch it with your fingers and lift it upwards to open. The Audi A4 has a length of 4761 mm, a width of 1826 mm, and a height of 1439 mm, belonging to the B-segment category. The Audi A4 comes in three engine displacements: 1.8T, 2.4T, and 3.0T. The 1.8T is divided into four models: manual basic, automatic basic, comfort, and technology-leading. The 2.4 displacement is divided into three models: comfort, comfort sports, and comfort premium. The 3.0 displacement has only one model and is equipped with the quattro all-wheel-drive system.
When I first drove an Audi A4, I was curious about the location of the hood release switch, but now I know it like the back of my hand. It's in the footwell area on the left side of the driver's seat, near the door—a small lever marked with an engine icon or symbol. A gentle pull will make the front of the hood click and pop open slightly, but don’t get out of the car right away. You’ll need to walk to the front of the car, bend down, and feel for a small yellow latch underneath the hood. Flick it open, and you can lift the entire hood. This dual-lock design is for driving safety, preventing accidental opening on bumpy roads. I think Audi’s layout is very practical—checking the oil or battery is effortless. Just remember to lubricate those moving parts every quarter to avoid rust and jamming. The first time I used it, I didn’t understand the secondary latch and waited around confused until I checked the manual.
