as you face the engine compartment from the back, look through the louvers and you may see the emergency release wire on the right side. pull to the right.

there may be a plastic cover over it....you may have to pry it loose with a long handled screwdriver.

Do you have a picture. I have an early 2012 and can't find anything. Opened the engine compartment and still don't see it.

Try to pull the emergency release in the frunk. It should open the back.
