How to Open the Front Hood of BYD Yuan?
2 Answers
The method to open the front hood of BYD Yuan is as follows: First, pull a handle located inside the cabin, which is positioned under the steering wheel near the left foot area. You will hear a clunk sound from the front hood when pulling it. Then, you need to go outside and release a latch located under the front hood, specifically in the gap towards the right side of the front hood's lower edge. Once released, the hood can be opened. The BYD Yuan is a compact SUV produced by BYD, with dimensions of 4360mm in length, 1785mm in width, and 1650mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2535mm. The front suspension of the BYD Yuan is a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
When I drive the BYD Yuan, opening the hood is actually quite simple. First, sit in the driver's seat. On the left side below the steering wheel, there's a small lever with a hood symbol. Gently pull it, and you'll hear the hood pop open. Then, get out of the car and walk to the front. In the small gap between the hood and the bumper, there's a hidden latch—push it inward with your thumb to fully open the hood. Be careful not to pinch your fingers during this process; last time I wasn’t paying attention and scraped my nail. After opening, remember to secure the hood support rod, or it might suddenly close and hit something. I also often take the opportunity to check the engine oil and coolant—if the levels are low, I top them up, which helps maintain the car's condition much better. Before every long trip, I take a quick look to make sure there are no oil leaks or signs of overheating in the engine.
