Source note on shared footage
We have a massive and growing video library, but we don't have everything...yet.
Car companies often use the same engines in different cars. They also slightly alter the styling and sell the same car by two different names (amongst other tricks to help offset development costs).
Our system selects the most applicable video for your car based, in part, on these characteristics. The video displayed may not look exactly like your car, but may be relevant enough for you to get a good idea how to do it.

我们有一个庞大且不断增长的视频资料库，但还没有全部内容……
汽车制造商经常在不同车型中使用相同的发动机。 它们还略微调整了外观设计，并以两个不同的名称销售同一款车（以及其他一些技巧，以帮助抵消开发成本）。
我们的系统会根据这些特性，部分地选择最适合您车辆的视频。 视频中显示的内容可能与您的车辆外观不完全相同，但可能足够相关，让您了解如何操作。
Procedure notes
This video shows you how to open the hood in your 1988 Dodge Dakota. Popping the hood, or bonnet, on your Dakota is a two step process, you need to release the hood latch inside your Dakota and then you need to release the safety latch under your hood in the front of your Dakota. The video above shows you the location of both hood latches.
Sometimes, the hood on Dodges gets stuck and won't pop up after the interior latch is released. If you need to open the hood with a stuck latch on your Dakota, simply pull up on the hood and it should pop up for you to release the second latch. Another option is to pull the interior hood release, then bang on the hood to see if that pops it open.
If your hood still won't open, you may have a broken hood release cable. Opening the hood on your Dakota with a broken cable requires you to use a coat hanger to reach through the grille and release the latch on the bottom of the hood latch. Sometimes, especially on older Dakotas, you may have difficulty getting your hood to latch when you close it. In this case, the interior release lever on your 1988 Dodge Dakota is probably stuck in the “open” position – push the release lever back and forth several times and then try to close your hood.

本视频演示如何在您的 1988 道奇 Dakota 车辆上打开引擎盖。 打开Dakota的引擎盖是一个两步过程，你需要先在Dakota内部释放引擎盖的锁扣，然后需要在Dakota前方引擎盖下的安全锁扣处释放安全锁扣。 上述视频展示了两个引擎盖扣具的位置。
有时，道奇车型 的车顶会卡住，在释放车内锁扣后无法打开。 如果你需要在Dakota的引擎盖卡住的情况下打开引擎盖，只需向上拉引擎盖，它应该会自动弹起，以便你释放第二个锁扣。 另一种方法是拉起车内顶盖释放杆，然后敲击车顶，看看是否能将其打开。
如果车顶仍然无法打开，可能是百叶窗释放拉索断裂了。 在Dakota的引擎盖缆绳断裂的情况下，需要使用衣架从格栅处伸入，拨动引擎盖下方的锁扣以打开引擎盖。 有时，尤其是在较老的达科他车型上，你可能会在关闭引擎盖时发现难以将其锁紧。 在这种情况下，您的 1988 道奇 Dakota 车辆内部的车盖释放手柄可能卡在“打开”位置——反复推拉释放手柄几次，然后尝试关闭车盖。
