How do I open the hood of a Lexus IS 300?

I have a Lexus IS 300 that I really want to take care of myself, and it’s due for its first oil change since I got it. How do I get under the Lexus IS 300 hood to change the oil?

Your
Lexus IS 300
has two hood releases: A hood release lever located under the dashboard on the driver’s side. *A *safety latch** just under the hood.
You’ll need to pull the hood release lever first, which will pop the hood of your vehicle just an inch or two so you can access the second safety latch. Push the latch to the left, lift the hood, and voila! You’re ready to admire the engine, change the oil, and more!
