Hood Release

How do you open the hood on a 2004 Saturn Ion?

How do you open a car hood without the release?

For this, you would need a long thin screwdriver and then start poking from under the hood to find the latch. If there is no way to insert a screwdriver then use a wire coat hanger. Once you locate the latch tug on it and the hood should open. You can open up your grille to have better access to the latch.
