230 SLK - How to Open Hood

In message , Neil writes

Under the steering column, is a plastic lever to pull on. This will pop the hood. Then under the hood lip is a catch to pull/push on.

First, pull out the hood-release under the dashboard, to the left of the steering wheel.

Next, get out of the car and go to the front, lift the hood. (To be honest, I can't remember whether you have to manually disengage the catch at the center, and my car is in the garage right now.)

I hope that you don't find any surprises under there. Good luck!

Thanks for the replies!

Still groping for that hood-release (left of steering wheel).

I guess my head is hard-wired with my old 1980 300 series (black hook alongside left driverside wall - under dash).

Thanks again for the help guys.
