To open the hood on a 2016

, you’ll need to pull the hood release lever located on the driver’s side under the dash. The lever should have a graphic of a car with an open hood. If you have trouble finding the lever, check your owner’s manual for the exact location.
Once you’ve pulled the lever, go to the front of your car and reach under the hood. At the very front of your car, you should feel a release lever. Pull this lever and push the hood upwards at the same time.
After the hood is open, you can ​​pull the prop rod out of the storage clip and use it to hold the hood up while you work!
