Steps to open the front hood of Haval H6: 1. Locate the handle at the lower left side of the driver's compartment, to the left of the brake pedal, and pull it to release the hood. 2. After opening the hood switch, you will hear the sound of the hood being released. Insert your hand into the hood space, find a protruding switch, and fully open the hood. 3. Place the hydraulic rod into the designated position to secure the engine hood. The Haval H6 creates a nearly perfect body posture, using dynamic micro-curves to outline the side profile, giving the vehicle a sharp and poised appearance. The Haval H6 features LED intelligent headlights and wrapped wheel arch designs, combining a cool and sporty look with a pursuit of technology and futurism, while maintaining an air of sophistication and stability.
To open the hood of a Haval H6, I often do maintenance myself, so I'm very familiar with the steps: First, sit in the driver's seat, look down near the left foot area to find a plastic lever (usually located above or beside the foot pedal), gently pull it until you hear a click indicating the hood is unlocked. Then, get out of the car, walk to the front, slightly lift the hood, reach into the gap to locate the central safety latch, press it to fully open the hood. Don't forget to secure it with the support rod to prevent accidental closing. In cold winter, the hood might be frozen, so warming up the car for a few minutes before operating makes it easier. If you want to add windshield washer fluid or check the engine oil, this is the first step, but remember not to rush when the engine is hot—wait for it to cool down a bit for safety. The whole process is quick and simple, taking about a minute to complete.
When I last tried to replace the wiper fluid on my Haval H6 by myself, I was a bit flustered the first time opening the front hood: After sitting in the driver's seat, I felt around near my left foot for a plastic lever, and pulling it unlocked the engine. Then, after getting out of the car, I slightly lifted the front edge of the hood with my hand. Feeling resistance, I quickly pressed down the safety latch to fully open it. The support rod is located on the inner side of the hood, and once inserted, it stays stable. I've tried it a few times since then, and now I find the operation quite simple. Beginners might initially struggle to locate the lever correctly, so I recommend practicing during daylight when visibility is good. Opening the hood allows you to check the engine's condition, which is beneficial for owners performing their own maintenance.
When opening the front hood, I pay special attention to safety: after pulling the release lever inside the cabin to unlock it, walk to the front of the car and gently lift the hood until the safety catch appears, then press it to fully open; make sure the support rod is securely fixed. In winter, if the hood is frozen, don't force it open—wait until the car warms up before trying again for safety. Remember not to confuse the fluid inlets when topping up, such as accurately locating the windshield washer fluid reservoir under the hood. The whole process is practical and can be done by yourself.
