How do you release the hood without using the hood release?

the best thing to do is to call the policei n your area and theyll come unlock your door for you, i would not try to open the hood from the outside and end up messing it up.

i suggest you call the police or the car dealership/locksmith and have them open it.

I need to open the hood from the outside and the battery is dead and I can't get into the car to release the hood from the inside. I don't have a door key, just a remote that won't work with a dead battery[/quote:4457ebf068]

call the dealer and have them make you a key for the doors, need the vin and proper paperwork
