To access the engine compartment of a Jeep Patriot, locate and pull the handle labeled "OPEN" located in the driver's footwell to release the hood's first latch. Then, head to the front of the hood and locate the lever situated in the middle section. Slide the lever to the side, allowing you to fully lift the hood open. Depending on the trim of the vehicle, it will either have built-in struts to keep the hood open or you may need to use a hood prop to secure it in place.
