Opening the bonnet (also known as the hood) of a Honda CR-V is a relatively simple process that can be completed in a few steps. The bonnet release lever is typically located on the driver’s side of the footwell, near the bottom of the dashboard. Once the lever is pulled, the bonnet will pop up slightly. It can then be lifted fully by hand. To close the bonnet, simply lower it into place and press down on the edges until it latches.
Being able to open the bonnet of your Honda CR-V is important for a number of reasons. First, it allows you to check the engine oil level and add oil if necessary. Second, it allows you to access the battery, which may need to be replaced or jump-started from time to time. Third, it allows you to check and replace the air filter, which can help to improve engine performance.
