Open the driver's door and locate the hood release lever under the left side. Pull the lever upward to release the hood latch. When the hood is slightly raised to form a wide gap, stop pulling. Then move the latch aside to fully open the car hood.
Opening the hood of the Magotan is quite simple. Let me explain step by step from a beginner's perspective. First, sit in the driver's seat, turn off the engine, and close the door. Then, look down and feel for a lever on the lower left side of the steering wheel, near the instrument panel. Pull it firmly, and you'll hear the hood release. Next, get out of the car and go to the front. Bend down and reach into the gap of the hood to find a small button or latch. Press or pull it while lifting the hood upwards. Remember to use the support rod to secure the hood to prevent it from suddenly falling. With a few practices, it will become very easy. Regularly opening the engine compartment when parked to check fluids helps maintain cleanliness and makes component replacement convenient. The first time might feel a bit confusing about the exact positions, but just take it slow and gentle. Once the hood is open, checking various fluid levels is very practical.
