How to Open the Front Hood of a Car?
1 Answers
Car hood switches are divided into pull-handle type and button type. The following are the specific steps to open a car hood: 1. The hood switch for almost all vehicles is located on the left panel of the center console. Some models have it positioned lower, in the bottom left corner, closer to the left foot. Regardless of the switch's location, we can identify it by the hood switch symbol. 2. For the pull-handle type, simply pull it firmly; for the button type, just press it. After completing the first step, the car hood will slightly pop up, revealing a gap of about 3-5 cm. 3. At this point, the hood is not fully open yet. There is still a safety latch underneath the middle of the hood. To fully open the hood, you must reach in and pull the safety latch to lift the hood. 4. After opening the engine compartment hood, take out the hood support rod and place one end into the support slot to hold up the engine compartment hood. If the hood is equipped with hydraulic support, manual support is not needed. 5. Now, the car hood is successfully opened. Closing the hood is much simpler: hold the hood with your hand, then lower and stow the support rod (this step is unnecessary for hydraulic support), and slowly lower the hood. At this stage, the hood hasn’t locked the safety latch yet, so place both hands on top of the hood and press down gently to complete the closing process.
