How do you open the bonnet of your Fiat 500?

The latch release lever is on the driver's side on the floor next to the door.

If the level is slack it points to a snapped bonnet release cable. To open the bonnet in this situation (on a Fiat Punto), you'll need to get under the car.

Jack up the car, placed it on a stand on the passenger side, and reached up underneath. Watch the video: http://bit.ly/Yh1dQ9
