Help Me Open Hood!

I have a 2001 C240. I don’t have money to pay someone a lot for this. I think it’s simple, but maybe one of you guys know what I can do. My hood release handle inside car broke and I can’t open the hood simply by pulling a cable, even with pliers because it just doesn’t pull, it just brings the whole thing further out and afraid to break this. Can you tell me how I can open this hood??

Grab hold of the cable that is hanging down with a pair of pliers and pull slowly and firmly.

I would suggest you post your question in the W203 section of the forum because your car is a W203. The W206 where you've posted your question is not yet on sale.
