How to Open the Front Hood of Wuling Hongguang?

Method to open the front hood of Wuling Hongguang: Pull the handle directly below the air vent outward, then lift the hood lock with your fingers. The function of the engine hood is air diversion. The air resistance and turbulence generated by airflow around a moving object directly affect its trajectory and speed. The shape of the engine hood can effectively adjust the flow direction of air relative to the car's movement and the obstructive force it generates, reducing the impact of airflow on the vehicle. Wuling Hongguang is the first independently developed crossover product between commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles launched by SAIC-GM-Wuling. In terms of safety features, Wuling Hongguang benchmarks higher-level models, equipped with ABS plus EBD, dual airbags, force-limiting seat belts, LED high-mounted brake lights, rear parking sensors, rear window heating and defrosting functions, rear wipers, and other equipment.
I often drive the Wuling Hongguang for hauling goods, so I'm quite familiar with popping the hood. First, locate the release handle at the lower left of the driver's seat - it's right beside your left foot, feels like a small pull ring. Give it a firm tug and you'll hear the 'click' of the hood popping open. Don't rush to lift it yet. Walk to the front center of the vehicle, look down behind the grille for the silver safety latch. Slide your index finger in and push it to the right while lifting the hood panel with your other hand. Important: make sure the support rod clicks into the hood's groove, otherwise it could fall dangerously. Last time I forgot to secure the rod and a gust of wind nearly pinched my fingers. When closing, always lower the support rod gently first until you hear the final 'click' of full engagement.
