I presumne you have a cerb.....

Do you speak in English? ;-)

The silver bonnet release knob turns a pair of rods that releases the bonnet. I presume you have tried lifting the bonnet and found that you cant as the rods are still in place? If this is the case then I guess you need to somehow remove the silver knob from within the vehicle and maybe you can then reach the rods?? Otherwise I am not sure if you can reach the rods by reaching under the bonnet edge? Or maybe if the car is up on ramps, from under the car??
