How to Open the Front Hood of Maxus V80?
2 Answers
Sit in the driver's seat, then locate the engine switch handle on the left side of the driver's seat. Pull the car engine handle with your hand, and when you hear a 'click' sound, it's ready. Then walk to the front of the hood, place your hand above the car emblem, under the hood area, feel the structure underneath with your hand, press down and gently lift the hood. Then find the support rod and remove the engine compartment hood support rod from its fixed bracket. Finally, hang the engine compartment hood support rod into the groove indicated for the engine compartment hood, and the entire process of opening the hood is completed.
When I first started with cars, opening the hood also felt like a challenge, especially with models like the Maxus V80. Sitting in the driver's seat, there's a pull lever near your left foot—give it a firm tug until you hear a click, and the primary hood latch will release. Then, step out and go to the front of the car. At the bottom center of the hood, there's a safety latch, usually a small notch or pull tab. Use your finger to flip it open or lift it slightly, and the hood will open easily. Don’t forget to locate the support rod nearby and insert it into the fixed hole to secure the hood. Why open it? Regularly checking the levels of engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid keeps the car in good health. If the lever won’t budge or the safety latch is stuck, avoid forcing it to prevent paint damage—try using some lubricant or gently tapping to loosen it. Safety reminder: Never operate when the engine is hot to avoid burns, and always double-check that the hood is securely latched after closing. It’s a good habit to inspect under the hood before regular maintenance—doing so can extend your car’s lifespan.
