How to Open the Hood of a Sagitar?
2 Answers
The method to open the hood of a Sagitar is: 1. Open the car door and locate the engine release lever on the left side of the driver's seat. Pull the lever by hand until you hear a click, indicating it is unlocked; 2. Move to the front of the car, reach into the hood gap, and pull the safety latch to open the engine hood; 3. Pull out the hood support rod and secure its top hook into the designated slot on the hood. Taking the 2018 Sagitar as an example, it is a compact car with dimensions of 4753mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2731mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The 2018 Sagitar features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116 PS, a maximum power of 85 kW, and a maximum torque of 175 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Opening the hood of a Sagitar is actually quite simple. Having worked in after-sales at a 4S dealership for several years, I performed this action dozens of times daily. First, sit in the driver's seat. Near your left foot, there's a small lever marked with a hood symbol. Pull it down firmly until you hear a 'click,' indicating the first lock is released. Then, exit the vehicle and approach the front center. The hood will now be slightly ajar with a gap about three fingers wide. Reach inside and feel for an orange-colored metal tab in the central area. Push it to the left, and you can lift the hood. Don’t let go immediately! Secure it by inserting the support rod into the slot on the inner side of the hood. If the car has just been turned off, wait at least half an hour for the engine to cool down before proceeding. Last time, a customer rushed to add windshield fluid and ended up burning their hand.
