How to Open the Front Hood of the Edge?

[VanAriel]

There is a handle below the driver's side A-pillar with an icon indicating "Open the engine compartment hood." Pull it firmly, and you will hear a "pop" sound as the engine compartment hood lifts slightly. Slightly raise the hood, and at the front end inside the hood, there is a hidden switch. Push it to the left to fully open the hood. Functions of the front hood: 1. Airflow guidance. For objects moving at high speed in the air, the air resistance and turbulence generated around the moving object directly affect its trajectory and speed. The shape of the hood can effectively adjust the direction of airflow relative to the car's movement and the resistance it generates, reducing the impact of airflow on the car. Through guidance, air resistance can be decomposed into beneficial forces, increasing the tire's grip on the ground, which enhances driving stability. The streamlined design of the hood is largely based on this principle. 2. Protection of the engine and surrounding components. Under the hood are critical parts of the car, including the engine, electrical circuits, oil lines, braking system, and transmission system, all of which are vital to the vehicle. By enhancing the strength and construction of the hood, it can effectively prevent adverse effects such as impacts, corrosion, rain, and electrical interference, ensuring the vehicle's normal operation. 3. Assisting driver visibility. During driving, the driver's view and the reflection of natural light are crucial for correctly judging road conditions and obstacles ahead. The shape of the hood can effectively adjust the direction and form of reflected light, reducing the impact of light on the driver. 4. Preventing accidents. The engine operates in a high-temperature, high-pressure, and flammable environment, where overheating or accidental damage to components can lead to explosions, fires, or leaks. The hood can effectively block damage caused by explosions, acting as a protective shield. It also helps to isolate air and prevent the spread of flames, reducing the risk and extent of fire damage.
