What a great present! Popping the hood on a 2012
Toyota Prius C
is super easy once you get the hang of it. Just follow these steps:
  • Pull the primary hood release. You will find it to the left of the steering wheel on the driver side component panel
  • After pulling the hood release, the hood will pop up, and stay slightly raised
  • Go to the front of the
    Toyota
    and push the secondary release straight up. You will find it under the Toyota logo.
  • Then push the hood up with one hand and use the other to secure it with the hood strut (that little metal stick)
Now you are all set to do some basic
car maintenance
for your sister! Before she hits the road, have her hit up
