How do you pop the hood?

Im borrowing my buddies SLS for a few weeks (he fancied my RS6), but he forgot to tell me how to pop the hood! Hes now in the heart of the Scottish highlands with no signal on his phone so cant get him.

Can anyone enlighten me! Ive looked every where!

1. select maintenance and care on the left side
2. select engine compartment
3. scroll down and you will see it.

It is an interactive owner manual, very well done and very informative.

Pretty straight forward, C63AMG_COUPE posted up the correct manual (I agree, it's done in an excellent manner), here is the page you need;

There's a lever on the left side of the driver side under the front dash. Just give it a pull and front hood will pop.
