The method to open the hood of a Mercedes-Benz is: 1. Locate the hood release lever under the steering wheel on the lower left side; 2.

Models under the Mercedes-Benz brand include: Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Mercedes-Benz GLS, and Mercedes-Benz GLC. Taking the 2011 Maybach 62S as an example, it belongs to the full-size car category with body dimensions of: length 6171mm, width 1980mm, height 1573mm, and a wheelbase of 3827mm.

I've driven a Mercedes for many years, and opening the hood is quite simple. First, sit in the driver's seat, and near your left foot or around the pedal area, there's a release lever—just give it a gentle pull to unlock the front of the hood. Then, step out of the car, walk to the front, and slide your fingers into the gap beneath the Mercedes emblem. You'll usually find a small lever or button there; gently lift or press it upward, and the hood will pop open. Remember not to use too much force—Mercedes designs are quite refined, and excessive force might damage the latch. In cold weather, be cautious of the hood freezing; tap it lightly a few times before operating. Once the hood is open, avoid touching hot components—safety first. Regularly opening the hood to check the oil and coolant is very helpful for car maintenance and can prevent major repairs. These little tips are often shared in Mercedes owner groups and are quite practical.
