Keep reading to find tips on how to locate the Honda CR V hood release and how to open the hood on the same car.
How to Find the Honda CR-V Hood Release?
The hood release latch is placed on the inside of the driver's door and the bottom left side. It is found under the dash, against the left-hand inner kick panel. Ideally, under the bottom left corner of the dashboard.
How to Open the Hood on a CR-V
You must first open the hood of your Honda CR-V before performing any repair, maintenance, or even checking the oil. Although every car is different, most of them use similar mechanisms to keep the hood down.
The hood of the Honda CR-V is held closed by the main latch and a secondary safety latch that will hold the hood if the main latch fails or if the hood is removed from inside the vehicle. Here are the steps on how to open the hood release.
Set the parking brake and park the car. Pull the hood release handle, which is situated under the dashboard's bottom left corner. The hood will slightly rise. Pull the hood open by grabbing the handle and pulling it back.
With your palm facing up, move to the front of the automobile and slip your hand between the hood and the grille. On the bottom of the hood, locate the hood release handle and push it up with your fingers. The safety lock should be released, allowing you to completely open the hood.
Pull the prop rod out of the storage clip and insert the end of the rod into the opening under the hood after lifting the hood. For easy identification, the prop rod hole features an arrow stamped into the steel point at the hole.
