How to Open the Hood of a Mercedes-Benz?
2 Answers
To open the hood of a Mercedes-Benz: 1. Locate the hood release lever under the steering wheel on the lower left side; 2. Pull the anti-detachment lock under the hood, push it to the right with your hand, then lift the hood. Mercedes-Benz models include: Mercedes-Benz E-Class, S-Class, G-Class, GLS, GLC, etc. Taking the 2011 Maybach 62S as an example, it belongs to the full-size luxury car category with dimensions: length 6171mm, width 1980mm, height 1573mm, and a wheelbase of 3827mm. The 2011 Maybach 62S is equipped with a 6.0L twin-turbocharged engine producing 630 horsepower (630ps), maximum power of 463kW at 4800-5100rpm, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission.
Opening the hood of a Mercedes-Benz is actually quite simple. Sit in the driver's seat, turn off the engine for safety, then look down near your left foot to find a small lever marked with a hood icon—give it a gentle pull to unlock; you'll hear a slight click indicating success. Next, exit the car and walk to the front where the Mercedes logo is. Feel for a small latch or hook in the hood gap, lift it upward, and slowly raise the entire hood, being careful not to injure your hands. Finally, there will be a support rod underneath—prop it up securely. Mercedes designs are quite user-friendly, though lever positions may vary slightly between models like the C-Class or S-Class, the core process remains the same. I often open the hood to check the battery or oil levels, and I recommend wearing gloves to avoid dirty hands or burns when the engine is hot. This step is crucial before regular maintenance to prevent minor issues.
