Knowing how to perform basic maintenance tasks on your car is important, and something that may seem a little tricky is knowing how to open the bonnet on your Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Whether you need to top up fluid, replace or top up the oil, or need to investigate something troublesome, opening the bonnet is going to be something you need to know how to do.
Anapproved used Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a fine choice for a used vehicle, offering great performance levels combined with a luxury feel and a technology focus. With great reliability, it is unlikely you will encounter any serious concerns, but knowing how to open the bonnet is still good practice.
The first step to opening the bonnet is to locate the release lever and give it a pull. On some models of cars, the lever is on the passenger side, but on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class the bonnet release lever is under the dashboard on the right, under the parking brake button.
This will release the lock on the bonnet, but you will have to manually pull a catch under the bonnet itself to open it.
Once you are standing at the front of the vehicle, find the catch under the sill of the bonnet, to the left of the Mercedes-Benz logo, and pull that. Lift the bonnet until it opens automatically.
Having carried out your maintenance or investigated whatever problem you needed to, make sure you securely close the bonnet, to avoid any problems when driving. If you are changing or topping up the oil, be sure to refer to the user manual for your E-Class to check the suitable type of oil, as this can vary depending on the age and specification of the vehicle.
