There is a hood release to the left of your leg when you are sat in the drivers seat. Once you have pulled that, go around to the front of the car and put two fingers....face down....into the space between the hood and the grill. You should feel a little give...apply more pressure and pull up with your free hand.

I've noticed with some later model 2002's there has been a color indicator (either yellow or red) and you have to feel for that (The lever not color) and then push it left and pull up with the free hand. You should be able to look once you've 'popped' the hood whether or not there is a color there indicating the release for the rest of the hood.
