How do I open a Ford Mustang’s hood?

I’m going to pick up a used car tomorrow, and I need to check out the fluid levels and make sure the engine looks clean before I drive it home. How do you open a Ford Mustang hood?

Congrats on getting the new (new-to-you) car! You can open the hood of your [Ford Mustang] (

) in just four easy steps:
  • Pull the hood release handle: It is located inside the car on the driver’s side to the left of the pedals
  • Walk to the front of the car and slightly lift the hood—you will get about two inches of space. Feel around for the secondary hood release with your hand. It will be in the front center of the car below the hood
  • Lift the hood
  • Secure the hood with the prop rod before letting it go
It’s always good to check under the hood before driving home with a used car. Also keep in mind that your Mustang will need new
