Car just showed up!

Anyone know how to pop the hood on a Mitsubishi I? Seriously. I can't find the hood release.....

I did find the release for BOTH charger connections. (Guess it had the fast charge option!)

Also, the hatch is locked. The car has power windows and locks. Without any power, I can't open the back. The drivetrain (rear-wheel, remember?) is UNDER the cargo area. You have to pop the hatch, and then lift an access panel. Hard to do that when I can't get the hatch open!

I know most cars have a "don't let a person get trapped in the trunk" feature that allows for a manual release from the inside. Maybe I can figure out how to get that to work.


First glance review:
Interior looks great! Exterior looks great (except a scuff on the front bumper)
Has both heated seat and quick charge feature.

The bad - where silt remains on the car comes up WAY too high for me to be happy about.....
Can't open hood so I can inspect 12V system
Can't open hatch, so I can inspect EV system.


Hmmm. It would be great to find somebody around who owns one of these, but I doubt there's another one in the state!
