How to Open the Front Hood of the Vezel?

Method to open the Vezel's hood: First, pull the hood release handle inside the cabin to unlock it. The hood release handle is located below the steering wheel on the left side. After unlocking it from inside the car, go to the front of the hood and lift the hood lever to open it. The hood protects the engine and surrounding pipeline accessories, and also serves an aesthetic purpose. More details are as follows: 1. The Vezel is the first SUV under GAC Honda, with dimensions of 4294mm in length, 1772mm in width, and 1605mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. 2. The rear seats of this vehicle feature a 6:4 split-folding design that can be tilted and flipped, allowing for flexible and diverse space configurations by enhancing the convenience of folding the seats.
I often need to open the hood of my Honda Vezel for engine maintenance. Step 1: Sit in the driver's seat, bend down and look near your left leg where there's a small lever marked with an engine symbol. Pull it firmly until you hear the unlocking sound. Step 2: Get out of the car and go to the front. Usually under the Honda emblem or inside the radiator grille, find a small handle and push it to one side or gently lift it to release the safety lock. Step 3: Slowly lift the hood while using your other hand to pull out the support rod inside to secure the hood, preventing it from suddenly falling and injuring your hand. I've encountered several instances where the hood got stuck. In such cases, check if the lever is fully released or lubricate the hinges, and the issue can be easily resolved. Regular inspection of these components can prevent problems, especially paying attention to safety during operation on rainy days.
As a frequent driver of the Honda Vezel, I know the steps to open the hood are actually quite simple. First, sit in the car, lean forward, and feel around the lower left side of the steering wheel for a metal lever or plastic handle, usually designed to be low-key—give it a gentle pull to release the first lock. Then, open the door, step out, walk to the front of the car, crouch down, and locate the small button or sliding lever in the grille gap to deactivate the safety mechanism. At this point, you can smoothly lift the hood—don’t forget to immediately use the included support rod to keep it open. I also take the opportunity to clear away leaves and dust from the grille to prevent debris from interfering with the unlocking action. If the mechanism feels stiff, I apply some lubricant to protect the latch. These habits make the whole process quick and smooth.
