How to open the front hood of the Tiguan L?
2 Answers
Here are the steps to open the front hood of the Tiguan L: 1. There is a lever on the left side of the driver's position, pull it once. 2. Below the hood, above the Volkswagen logo, there is a small handle, lift it upwards, and raise the hood. 3. At the front of the engine compartment, there is a support rod, insert the support rod into the corresponding hole inside the hood to secure the hood. Below is information about the function of the car hood: 1. Airflow guidance: For objects moving at high speed in the air, the airflow around the moving object creates air resistance and turbulence, which directly affects the movement trajectory and speed. The shape of the hood can effectively adjust the direction of airflow relative to the car's movement and the resistance force acting on the car, reducing the impact of airflow on the car. 2. Protection of the engine and surrounding pipeline components: Under the hood are important components of the car, including the engine, electrical circuits, oil circuits, braking system, and transmission system, etc.
I just bought the Tiguan L and was a bit confused when trying to open the hood for the first time. On the left side of the driver's seat, near the sill, you'll find a plastic lever, usually dark gray in color. Bend down slightly and pull it firmly toward yourself—you'll hear a click indicating it's unlocked. Then quickly step out to the front of the car. At the center bottom of the hood gap, reach in to feel for a small yellow hook or lever. Gently push it to the right or release it, and the hood will open easily. The process is quite simple, but beginners should note a few things: Avoid operating when the engine is still hot to prevent burns, and ensure the vehicle is completely stationary. I recommend trying this for the first time in a garage or on level ground to prevent dust from entering the engine. Additionally, when closing the hood, press gently on the center until you hear the locking sound for safety—otherwise, the dashboard may display a warning. Regularly check if the lever is loose to extend the lifespan of the parts.
