How can I open the hood of my Toyota Corolla? It's been making weird noises and I think it may be the engine.

That doesn’t sound good! Luckily, opening the hood of your Toyota Corolla is simple!
Follow these steps to
open the hood
:
  • Look under your steering wheel for the hood latch.
  • When you find it, pull it outward.
  • Move to the front of the car and reach in between the gap of the hood and your car’s body.
  • You should feel a latch. Press upward on the latch under the front of the hood to release it.
  • Now, lift up the hood and use the rod inside to prop it up.
If those
engine noises
persist, be sure to take your car to a mechanic.
