How to Open the Front Hood of BYD Yuan?
3 Answers
BYD Yuan front hood opening method is as follows: First, pull a handle inside the cabin, located at the left foot position under the steering wheel (hidden on the left side of the car body). You will hear a clunk sound from the front hood when pulled. Then, go outside to open a clip under the front hood, located slightly to the right in the gap below the front hood head. Open it to release the hood. Extension: 1. For objects moving at high speed in the air, the air resistance and turbulence generated by the airflow around the moving object directly affect the trajectory and speed. The shape of the hood can effectively adjust the direction of airflow relative to the car's movement and the obstructive force on the car, reducing the impact of airflow on the vehicle. 2. Through airflow guidance, air resistance can be decomposed into beneficial forces that increase the front wheel's grip on the ground, enhancing the vehicle's driving stability. The streamlined appearance of the hood is basically designed according to this principle.
To open the hood of my Yuan Pro, you need a two-step operation. From the driver's seat, first feel around near your left foot for a lever with an engine symbol. Pull it firmly toward yourself until you hear the dull sound of the hood popping open. Don’t lift the hood directly at this point—walk to the front of the car, slide your fingers into the gap, and locate a small silver latch in the center. Push it to the left, then lift the hood upward. A key tip: use both hands—your right hand to lift the hood while your left hand secures the support rod into its slot. Be extra gentle in winter as plastic parts become brittle, and never force it if frozen. If the engine was just turned off, wait about ten minutes to avoid burning your hands on hot components.
As a female car owner who frequently tops up the windshield washer fluid myself, I've noticed that opening the hood of the BYD Yuan requires a two-step unlocking process. When pulling the lever under the dashboard for the first time, you need to apply some force until you hear a 'click' sound to confirm it's engaged. Then, walk to the front of the car, use your thumb to press the hidden latch above the logo and slide it to the right – this will cause the hood to lift slightly. It's advisable to support the bottom of the hood with one hand while slowly raising it, using the other hand to promptly prop up the metal support rod. In cold weather, the plastic mechanisms can be stiff, so wearing gloves helps. After opening the hood, remember to check the coolant and brake fluid levels – it's a good habit to perform these regular inspections.
