I had to look for this over the weekend. There is a red lever, about 1" x 3", all the way at the bottom of the steering column, slightly to the left side between the foot rest and the brake pedal. Get a flashlight and stick your head under there. You can't miss it.

Just reach on down below the brake release. You'll get it. The first 20 hours I had the car I didn't find it either.

Some friends came by one night, and I tried to show them how our hoods open up 90 degrees. But I couldn't find the release to save my life. haha.

Succeeded 10 minutes later, with the use of a flashlight. what's a manual?
