You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 811902F000 fits your vehicle.

For the SEPHIA AND SPECTRA models, begin by removing the radiator grille opening cover if present, then unscrew the latch retaining bolts and nut from the radiator support to take out the latch. Disconnect the hood release cable by disengaging it from the latch and removing the cable end from the slotted portion of the latch mechanism, followed by reversing the steps for installation. For the cable, first disconnect it from the latch assembly and detach it from any retaining clips on the radiator support. Attach a piece of wire or string to the latch end of the cable, loosen the left front wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle securely on jackstands, and remove the wheel. Next, remove the left inner fender splash shield and, from the passenger compartment, detach the hood release lever from the left side lower trim panel. Pull the grommet through the body and bring the cable into the passenger compartment, ensuring the new cable has a grommet attached, then remove the old cable from the wire and attach the wire to the new cable. Guide the cable through the retaining clips under the fender and complete the installation by reversing the removal steps, ensuring the grommet is seated completely in the body. For the SPORTAGE models, start by removing the radiator/grille cover fasteners and the cover itself, then take out the latch cover bolts and the latch, disengaging the hood release cable from the latch. For the cable, disengage it from the latch, remove the hood release handle mounting screws inside the vehicle, and take out the hood release handle while detaching the cable. In the engine compartment, trace the release cable's route, detach all cable clips, and pull the cable through the firewall, completing the installation by reversing the removal steps and ensuring the grommet is securely seated where the cable passes through the firewall.
