The interior hood release helps secure the engine compartment. Early model cars had a simple latch to open the hood. Since anyone could open the engine hood, anyone could take the battery out of the car. Adding an internal hood release increased the security to help protect the battery and other engine components from theft.

This works about 95 percent of the time. If not, try to look in through the grill in the hood release area and see if you can unbolt the whole hood release.
