COMETGUY61- hey, glad to exist of service here.... This is like shooting fish in a barrel, the hood release is just nether the dashboard on the left hand side of the steering wheel. Looks like a fiddling tab, pull down and that should release the hood.

Thia question has been posted for over a year, and still no answer. The "most helpful" answer simply says "Marking,we need yous." It is Non left of the steering cycle, Everything there is simply smooth. No tabs. And the guy who smartly commented :Nit uf he was looking for a footling tab" is useless likewise. Nosotros don't need to know what it is NOT. We'd like to know where the hood release IS. :

The tab on the Forester is on the left only information technology does not hang down. You have to feel for information technology but there is a symbol showing you where it is.

Handle pulls downward from lower left knee console. "Nit uf"? Who's useless??

I have a 2019 Outback Express and had trouble finding it since the instructions are brief and I can't see that well. Use a flashlight if you have to and find a tab beneath the instrument console across from your left knee with a raised hood icon on it. Achieve several inches BEHIND that tab and find a lever that you pull forward which will pop the hood. See the movie where the location is circled.
