How do you open the hood on a Subaru?

I recently bought a new Subaru and I absolutely love it, but I’m having a tough time figuring out how to open my new car’s hood! I’d like to know how to open it so I can top off fluid levels. Any idea on how to open the hood of a Subaru?

! To open the hood of a Subaru, follow these simple steps:
  • Find the hood release lever on the lefthand side of the driver’s seat and pull upwards until you hear the hood pop. The lever will have an illustration of a car with an open hood on it.
  • Go to the front of your car and slide your hand between the popped hood and the grill of your car until you feel a latch.
  • Push the latch to the left to fully release the hood. Lift the hood up on the hood prop rod to access the engine and fluid reservoirs.
Understanding all of the features of a new car can be frustrating and time consuming, but finding a great insurance policy for the right price doesn’t have to be.
