To learn how to open the hood of a Ford Escape, start by opening the driver's side door. Then, check the left side footwell where you'll find a black lever. Pull the lever upward to release the hood latch. Once you hear it pop, go to the front of the car and locate a yellow latch on the passenger's side. Pull this latch to the right to open the hood.
I didn't have trouble with the car's interior release, but I struggled to find the latch under the hood. You can spot a bright yellow lever located under the front of the hood on the passenger side. It's really easy to release.
The hood is quite spacious. Where is it located?
To access the hood on a Ford Escape, you can find the hood release lever on the driver's side of the dashboard close to the door. Pull the lever to open the hood.
From inside your Ford Escape, pull the lever by the driver's side door on the dashboard. Then, step outside and lift the hood slightly from the center to release the catch.
First, pull the hood release lever inside the driver's side footwell. Next, find the safety latch located under the front of the car and release it to open the hood.
