Opening the hood of the car (Escort 5)

The hood lock actuator lever is located under the steering wheel. The lever opens the hood lock if you pull it towards you. In this case, the hood lid will rise under the action of the spring. To fully open the hood, you need to press the hood retaining lever up and lift the hood. In the open position, the hood is held by a stop. To close the hood, lower it down and press until it clicks. Do not operate the car with the hood lock open.
