Renault clio bonnet wont open

Make and model?
They vary a lot on how to lower the spare but generally you will need a wheel brace. As for the bonnet release..... try under the steering column, under the passenger glovebox and either side lower down the window pillars. Some even have a keyhole behind the bonnet badge that swings up. When released, the secondary catch is always fun to work out.....not! Lift the bonnet slightly and look in the grill and see if a little handle has popped out for you to pull. Otherwise try and look and feel under the bonnet for a release mechanism.
Like I said, make and model will help someone help you. You could also try owners forums online. I find them great for just about any problem.

You need to release the bonnet from the release catch under by the steering wheel. Normally Red in colour. You need to pull it towards you.
When you go to the bonnet it should be slightly raised up. Put your hand in the middle and there should be a small handle catch for you to push to one side . you should be able to pull the bonnet up then.

I have to say that the simplest would be to call AA, they're usually quite adept at opening bonnets if the battery is dead (preventing access to the bonnet release).

There should be a bonnet release handle in the vehicle low and almost under the dashboard. Pulling that handle is the first step. After pulling that handle if you go to the front of the vehicle then under the bonnet there should be an additional handle to move right or left to completely release the hood.

what year is this clio ,sounds about right for a renault of around 10 yrs old ,keep key away from mobile phone and TV screen and if its an older model with a transponder reader under the dash in the drivers footwell start the engine and cut the third wire and thenj it will have the immobilisor de mobilised but then anyone could steal the car so use a krooklock

get assistant to push down on bonnet whilst you pull the lever ,then once you pull back the lever and hold it back they try to lift it so it clicks up a bit then you open it by the safety catch

by pulling wire from inside ,if it is not working try to use calipper to pull ,it needs hard pulling to release the bonnet.

check the earht wire on your battery, if its worn have it replaced

open your tailgate and right in the middle in front of your tailgate catch pull the boot carpet back or there might be a little **** in the carpit when pulled back you should see a bolt head remove your wheel brace and apply to the bolt head turn antyclockwise you spare wheel should drop a you turn it,hope this helps.adrian

There are two release catches about 15" to the right and left of the centre safety catch. Roughly at each end of the top of the radiator.

The bonnet release cable goes first to the right hand one then there is a wire from that to the left, in a daisy chain way. They are typically French, cables fit into plastic levers ( a bit like bike brakes) not metal which break easily. replacements are not cheap. You need to be able to pull the cable to both catches to get the bonnet up. I managed to do this from underneath. In my case the, left hand one was broken and right hand one was working, but the getting it open broke the bit that that pulls the left. Managed to away with buying just one new catch as they are identical, swopping the right partly broken one over to the left side.
