If you need to check the oil level, replace a burned-out headlight, or jump-start your car, you’ll need to know how to open the hood of your Ford Fusion. Fortunately, opening the hood is a simple and straightforward process.
Step 1: Locate the hood release lever
The hood release lever is located inside the car, on the left side of the steering wheel. Pull the lever toward you to release the hood.
Step 2: Find the hood release latch
Once you’ve pulled the hood release lever, go to the front of the car and find the hood release latch. The latch is located in the center of the hood, just above the Ford emblem.
Step 3: Release the hood latch
Pull the hood release latch toward you to release the hood. You may need to push down on the hood slightly to help release the latch.
Step 4: Raise the hood
Once you’ve released the hood latch, lift the hood up and prop it open with the hood support rod. The support rod is located on the underside of the hood.
Step 5: Close the hood
To close the hood, simply lower it back down and push down firmly until you hear it click into place. Make sure the hood is fully closed and latched before driving.
If you’re having trouble locating the hood release lever or latch, consult your owner’s manual for more detailed instructions.
