2 Answers
To open the engine hood of the Hyundai Mistra: 1. Locate the release handle under the dashboard near the driver's left calf, pull it to pop the hood open by about 1cm; 2. Then, lift the hood with one hand while using the other hand to reach under the front grille to find and pull the secondary release lever to fully open the hood. The Hyundai Mistra is a new mid-to-high-end sedan from Beijing Hyundai, with body dimensions of 4710mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1470mm in height. It is equipped with a 1.8L engine delivering a maximum power of 107kw and maximum torque of 175nm. In terms of exterior design, the Hyundai Mistra further develops the Fluidic Sculpture design language, featuring a wide grille with horizontal bars similar to the Santa Fe, along with projector headlights adorned with frosted silver and chrome accents.
The first time you pop the hood might feel a bit confusing—I felt the same way. It's actually quite simple: First, sit in the driver's seat and locate the hood release lever with an engine icon under the left side of the steering wheel. Give it a firm pull, and you'll hear a 'click' from the front. Don't rush out yet—first, turn off the engine and engage the handbrake. Then, walk to the front center of the car, slide your hand into the hood gap, and you'll find a small latch. Push it to the right and lift the hood. Remember to quickly insert the support rod into its slot—the hood is heavy. In winter, it's best to warm up the car first to avoid brittle plastic parts.
