How do you open the hood on your Jeep Compass 2007?

To open the hood on a 2007 Jeep Compass, first, locate the hood release lever inside the vehicle, which is typically found on the driver's side, near the footwell. Pull the lever to release the hood latch. Then, go to the front of the vehicle, slide your hand under the hood, and feel for the secondary latch, which you need to lift or push to fully open the hood. Finally, prop the hood open with the support rod, if applicable.
