I am afraid to say that if you have to ask that question, you should not even open the bonnet.
AnswerThe Bonnet is called the Hood in the U.S. Pull the lever inside the car, on drivers side. Then release the hood (bonnet) with the lever located in the front grille.If the level is slack - it points to a snapped bonnet release cable.To open the bonnet in this situation (on a Fiat Punto), you'll need to get under the car.I jacked up the car, placed it on a stand on the passenger side, and reached up underneath. I've videoed it - quick to do once you see it.http://bit.ly/Yh1dQ9TAG: Fiat Punto, Bonnet Cable, Snapped Bonnet Cable
Open or pull the plug on it
There should be a cable hanging down from where the latch was. Just grip with a pair of pliers and give it a gentle pull. You will hear a click and then you can release and go to the front of the car and open the bonnet.If the level is slack - it points to a snapped bonnet release cable.To open the bonnet in this situation (on a Fiat Punto), you'll need to get under the car.I jacked up the car, placed it on a stand on the passenger side, and reached up underneath.

Open the passenger door and look up to the left in the footwell. Here you will see the release lever. Pull it backwards then go to the front of the vehicle and slip your fingers underneath the partly released bonnet feeling for a small lever. When you find it push it up and lift the bonnet open.
take it to your local garage and then there, they should be able to open it without damaging anything. Check if you're still in the warantee period, if so make a claim.
Pull the handle on the drivers side to release it and then put your hand - palm up - through the gap at the front of bonnet in the middle so your fingers can lift the final release handle. If the gas struts are u/s then it will be very heavy to lift.If the level is slack - it points to a snapped bonnet release cable.To open the bonnet in this situation (on a Fiat Punto), you'll need to get under the car.I jacked up the car, placed it on a stand on the passenger side, and reached up underneath.

It is possible open the bonnet still...however this technique may also be used for other, less welcome, activites under the bonnet. The best way to get the answer would be to search on FiatForum...it is covered there. The basics of the technique involve having long arms and a torch to see where you're putting your hand.
Hello, look at the manual.It tells you in there indetail.
The bonnet catch is in the foot well on the passenger side near the door but high up. Pull it to release the catch then put your fingers between the gap of the slightly open bonnet lid in the middle. You will find a small plate that needs to pushed up ton release the lid.
The latch release lever is on the driver's side on the floor next to the door. If the level is slack it points to a snapped bonnet release cable. To open the bonnet in this situation (on a Fiat Punto), you'll need to get under the car. Jack up the car, placed it on a stand on the passenger side, and reached up underneath.
