Ford Focus: How to Open Hood

Find the two latches to open the Ford Focus hood with this tutorial.

  1. On the inside of the car, pull the latch located under the steering wheel, close to the drivers side door. On some models, like the Australian model, the latch is on the left side on the passenger side. When pulled, the hood should pop up.
