How to Open the Front Hood of a Leiling Car?
2 Answers
The method to open the front hood of a Leiling car is: 1. There is a hood lock on the left side of the driver's compartment near the door pillar. Pull it, and when you hear a click from the front, the front hood and the car body will pop up with a gap of about 1cm; 2. With one hand lifting the front hood, use the other hand to reach in from the top of the grille and pull the hood release lever, then push it up and prop up the hood support rod. The Leiling is a compact car under GAC Toyota, with dimensions of 4640mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The car comes standard with LED headlights, one-touch up/down for all four power windows, and rear air vents. Both the fuel version and the hybrid version have been upgraded on the original basis, offering more choices.
I've been driving a Levin for many years, and DIY repairs and maintenance are routine for me. Opening the front hood is something I'm extremely familiar with. Every time before checking the engine oil level or cleaning the air filter, I go through the same steps: first, I get into the driver's seat and locate the plastic lever or small handle near the floor on the left side, give it a gentle pull until I hear a click—that releases the first lock. Then, I quickly step out and go to the front of the car, where the hood will have popped up slightly. I reach in and feel around, usually finding a yellow tab or hook near the center—just press or flip it, and that's it. With both hands, I steadily lift the hood and secure it in place with the built-in support rod, making sure not to let go. I always remind beginners to check the manual or look up diagrams online beforehand to confirm the lock location and save themselves some trouble. During regular maintenance, I also wipe down the latch to remove dust and prevent rust, ensuring smooth operation. After a few tries, it becomes second nature—simple and practical!
