How to Open the Engine Hood of the Compass?
2 Answers
The method to open the engine hood of the Compass is: 1. Pull the square lever located at the lower left of the driver's position, and the hood spring will release; 2. A lever will be exposed under the hood, pull it to the left and lift the hood. The Compass is a compact SUV under GAC FCA Jeep, with exterior dimensions of 4424mm in length, 1819mm in width, and 1635mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2636mm. The Compass is equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 127 kW and a maximum torque of 270 N·m.
When I first started driving, I was also clueless about how to open the Jeep Compass's hood. It's quite simple: Sit in the driver's seat, find a small lever or handle near your left foot, and give it a firm pull; after hearing a slight click, walk to the front of the car, crouch down, and locate a small hook or release lever at the front edge of the hood, then insert your finger or push/pull it; the hood will pop up, and you can then lift it with both hands and secure it with the support rod. Beginners often skip this step and try to close the hood directly, which can be dangerous—it might pinch your hand or leave the hood unlatched. I recommend practicing in a parking lot the first time, checking the oil level or coolant, to avoid issues while driving. Developing a habit of regularly inspecting the engine's condition can help prevent unexpected breakdowns.
