How to Open the Hood of an Audi A4?
2 Answers
Audi A4 opens the hood method is: 1. Pull the hood release handle located by the driver's side door; 2. Slide the lock lever located at the center of the hood to release the locking mechanism. Taking the 2021 Audi A4 as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category with body dimensions of: length 4762mm, width 1847mm, height 1436mm, wheelbase 2825mm, fuel tank capacity 54l, and curb weight 1665kg. The 2021 Audi A4 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering maximum horsepower of 204PS, maximum power of 150kW, maximum torque of 320Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I remember when I first got my Audi A4, I spent quite some time figuring out the hood release. You sit in the driver's seat and look down—there's a small lever with an engine icon below the left side of the steering wheel. Give it a firm pull upward, and you'll hear a click. Don't rush off just yet; walk around to the front center of the car, slide your fingers into the hood gap, and feel for a movable latch. Push it to the right while gently lifting the hood. Here's the key: Audi's thoughtful design includes a folding hydraulic strut inside the hood—remember to straighten and secure it. If it gets stuck, don't force it; chances are the secondary latch isn't fully released. I pop the hood monthly to top up the washer fluid and check the dipstick. This design is much safer than Japanese cars, with its dual-lock system to prevent accidental opening.
