How to close the hood of a Toyota Corolla?

[SanAdalynn]

Here are the instructions for closing the hood of a Corolla: 1. Pull the hood down, place both hands on the front edge of the hood, corresponding to the positions of the headlights on both sides, and press down gently to close the hood. No excessive force is needed. A 'click' sound indicates successful closure. Avoid pressing too hard on the central part of the hood. It's best not to slam the hood shut, as the aluminum alloy material may dent under excessive force. 2. Another method is to first lower the hood support rod, hold the hood with the other hand, and slowly lower it. When the hood is about 30 centimeters from closing, release it to let it fall freely. A 'clunk' sound confirms locking. Without sufficient free-fall distance, the engine hood may not close properly. 3. Before closing the engine hood, always ensure the support rod is returned to its clip. Closing the hood while the support rod is still extended may bend the hood. Check and confirm that the hood is fully closed and locked. If the hood is not properly locked, it may open while driving, leading to serious accidents, injuries, or even fatalities in the Corolla.
