ABSTRACT:
In an automotive vehicle having a hood covering an underhood area in a front portion of the vehicle and a vehicle body defining a vehicle interior, a hood latch release system has a striker mounted in the underhood area, a primary latch mounted in the underhood area for latching to the striker to retain the hood in substantially flush relationship with the vehicle body, and a secondary latch mounted in the underhood area for latching to the striker when the primary latch is unlatched from the striker. The primary latch and the secondary latch are released from the striker by a cable-operated latch release lever. A cable is connected to the release lever on one end and on the other end is connected to a latch release handle located in a depression in a surface of the vehicle interior coverable by a driver's door when in a closed position so as to prevent movement of the latch release handle, the latch release handle movable to operate the latch release lever when the driver's door is in an open position uncovering the depression.
