I've looked everywhere beneath the steering wheel and just can not seem to figure out what opens the bonnet. Thanks in advance.

it is underneth the steering wheel on the right side the red handle pull that then u have to go to yor bonnet and there is a clip u push right in the midle just underneth the bonnet push wen u found it and pull the bonnet up

LOOK below the steering wheel.
There is a Red handle like a lever. Its bigger than l have seen on most cars.
l had same problem before - its a bit difficult to locate just with the hand without looking - so one has to look and locate it.
