How to Open the Engine Hood of a Leiling Car?
2 Answers
The method to open the engine hood of a Leiling car is: First, locate the hood release lever on the left side of the driver's compartment near the door pillar. Pull it, and you will hear a click from the front. Then, go to the front of the car, and you will see a gap of about 1cm between the hood and the body. With one hand lifting the hood, use the other hand to reach in from above the grille and pull the release lever. Push the hood up and secure it with the support rod. The Leiling has dimensions of 4640mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of power, this car is equipped with a 1.2L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum torque of 185Nm and a maximum power of 85kW, paired with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT).
I remember when I first bought my Levin last year, it took me a while to figure out how to open the hood. It's actually a standardized operation, similar for most modern cars. First, sit in the driver's seat with the door closed. Below the dashboard near your left foot, there's a small lever or handle labeled with an engine icon. Pull it firmly until you hear a click, releasing the primary lock. Then, get out and go to the front of the car. There might be a recess or button in the center of the hood. Reach in and gently lift up or push inward to fully release the secondary lock. Use your hand to lift the hood and secure it with the support rod. Safety tips: Always perform this operation with the engine off and on level ground. Avoid doing it under direct sunlight or when the engine is hot to prevent burns. Personally, I open it quarterly to check coolant, engine oil levels, and windshield washer fluid, while also cleaning dust from the filter. This habit helped me spot two minor oil leaks early for timely repairs. Simple but crucial daily maintenance can significantly enhance driving safety.
