Most likely sticking due to lack of use. Have someone pull on the release lever while some one tries lifting the hood at the same time. Usually pulling the handle and banging on the hood release area will also make it pop open if no one is around to assist you. Worse case scererio is a broken/disconnected cable and that can cause problems to get the hood open
Locate the interior hood-release lever under the dashboard on the driver's side of the interior of the car.
Lift up and toward you on the hood release lever. The lever is connected to a cable that releases the hood. The hood will pop up about 1/2 inch when you pull the lever.
Move to the front of the car and locate the exterior hood-release lever under the front of the hood. It is located near the middle of the vehicle, just beyond where the front edge of the hood meets the body. Lift up on the inner lever.
Lift up on the edge of the hood while holding the inner lever in place. When the hood is up, find the hood prop and raise it, setting its tip in the hood-prop mount on the hood, to hold the hood up while you work in the engine bay.
