2 Answers
To open the front hood of the Cadillac XT5, follow these steps: 1. Locate the switch button on the driver's side door; 2. Press the front hood switch; 3. Move to the front of the car and lift the hood upwards. Taking the Cadillac XT5 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4813 mm, width 1903 mm, height 1682 mm, with a wheelbase of 2857 mm, a fuel tank capacity of 73 liters, and a trunk capacity ranging from 584 to 1634 liters. The Cadillac XT5 2021 model is equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission, featuring a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear five-link independent suspension.
I've been driving the Cadillac XT5 for five or six years, and the hood release is quite user-friendly. When you sit in the driver's seat, you'll notice a small lever near your left foot with a yellow label featuring an engine icon. Just give it a firm pull to unlock. After that, walk to the front of the car where you'll find a safety latch right under the center of the hood. You need to grip it and either slide or push it outward, then steadily lift the hood without letting go. Remember not to force it—if it's frozen in cold weather, let the engine warm up for a few minutes to soften things. Always check if the support rod is securely engaged when it pops up. I recommend spraying some anti-rust lubricant on the springs every three months to prevent malfunctions. All in all, the process takes about two minutes—safe, convenient, and no need to rush. Just take it step by step.
