How to open the hood of a Toyota C-HR?
2 Answers
Toyota C-HR's hood opening method is: gently pull the control area on the left side of the steering wheel, and the hood will pop up. In this state, the hood will not fully open. After inserting your hand into the gap, pull the latch under the hood and lift the hood upwards. The hood can effectively adjust the direction and form of reflected light, reducing the impact of light on the driver. The Toyota C-HR is a compact SUV under GAC Toyota, with dimensions of 4360mm in length, 1795mm in width, and 1555mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2640mm. The vehicle adopts Toyota's X-shaped front face design, resembling the Civic Coupe's boomerang taillights, with black mirror housings, body panels, spoilers, and floating C-pillars adding a touch of crossover sportiness to the car.
I'm sharing how to open the Toyota CH-R hood from a new driver's perspective. First, make sure the car is completely turned off and parked in a safe location. Wait a few minutes for the engine to cool down before proceeding to avoid burn risks. Lower your head near the driver's seat and look for a plastic pull handle with an engine icon on the floor by your left foot. Gently pull it until you hear a click, indicating it's released. Then walk to the front of the car, where you'll find a small hook or lever at the center edge of the hood. Use your finger to push it open or lift it, and the hood will loosen. When lifting the hood, the support rod will either pop out automatically or need to be manually secured. Before closing, gently press the center to confirm it's locked properly to prevent accidental opening. I was a bit clumsy during my first attempt, but it became much smoother after a few tries. This process makes it easy to check engine oil or refill windshield fluid, keeping the car in good running condition. Always maintain hand cleanliness and a tidy environment during the process – practice will make me more confident.
