Under the steering wheel look around for a lever it will have an image of a hood popped open. It could be on the inside wall to the left of the floor (the kick panel) . Pull that lever and the hood pops up. Go to the hood and slide your hand under the edge to find the release lever, pull that towards you and you should be set.
