2 Answers
To open the front hood of the Volkswagen Lavida, follow these steps: 1. Pull the button located on the left side below the steering wheel in the cabin upwards; 2. At this point, the front hood can be lifted slightly to create a gap; 3. Move to the front of the hood, reach into the gap near the Volkswagen logo, and lift the internal lever upwards to open the hood; 4. Once opened, use the support rod to hold the hood in place, ensuring it is securely supported before letting go. The Lavida is a compact sedan from Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4605mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. The vehicle features a three-spoke sports steering wheel, side airbags, a sunroof, perforated leather seats, a rear parking radar, a Bluetooth system, and a premium audio system with MP3 functionality among other configurations.
I remember when I first bought my Volkswagen Lavida, I had no idea how to open the hood and had to figure it out by trial and error. First, you need to sit in the driver's seat and close the door. Then, bend down and look near your left knee, close to the door side, where there's a small plastic handle or metal lever—that's the hood release. Pull it firmly toward yourself until you hear a click, which means the hood is unlocked. Next, step out to the front of the car. You'll notice the hood slightly lifted with a small gap. Reach your hand inside and feel for the safety release latch, usually a metal lever or button. Push or flip it to the right or upward to fully open the hood. When lifting the hood, use the built-in support rod to hold it in place to avoid it falling and injuring your hand. To close it, gently lower the hood, align it with the slots, and press down to lock it securely. This method is quite simple. Remember to regularly check the engine oil and coolant—it’s great for car maintenance and helps prolong the engine's lifespan.
