Zusammenfassung:	In accordance with exemplary embodiments, a hood latch assembly is provided for a vehicle. The hood latch assembly is configured to be positioned within a forward compartment of a vehicle and to releasably retain a hood of the vehicle in a closed position with a first hood latch and in a partly open position with a second hood latch. A hood latch release mechanism is configured to be positioned within a passenger compartment of the vehicle and be coupled to the hood latch assembly for releasing the first hood latch upon a first operation of the hood latch release mechanism and releasing the second hood latch upon a second operation of the hood latch release mechanism. This provides a dual-action release mechanism that can be operated entirely from within the vehicle.
