How to Open the Hood on A Jeep Liberty

I want to save money by changing my Jeep Liberty’s oil at home, but I can’t get the hood to pop even when I press the safety latch. What am I missing?

Opening your
Jeep Liberty’s
hood is actually a two-step process, which could explain why you’re having some trouble! Luckily, it’s very simple.
To open the hood on a Jeep Liberty, here’s what you’ll do:
  • Locate the hood release lever, usually found on the left-hand side of the instrument panel underneath your dashboard. Look down by your feet on the driver’s side of your vehicle
  • The hood release lever will have an icon of a car with the hood popped, making it easily identifiable
  • Pull the lever
  • Get out of the car and locate the vehicle safety latch between your Jeep’s grill and hood opening (slightly left of the center of the hood)
  • Push the safety latch lever to the right to open the hood
Now all you have to do is lift the hood and prop it open—your Jeep should have a prop rod to help you do this! With your hood open, you can easily access your car’s oil tank to perform routine maintenance.
Now that you’re ready to save money on car maintenance, why not save more on your car insurance? The
