How to open the hood of Honda CR-V?
2 Answers
To open the hood of the Honda CR-V, follow these steps: In the driver's position, there are two switches—one for opening the fuel tank and another for the front hood. Pull the front hood switch, then go to the front of the car where you'll notice the hood slightly raised with a gap. Insert your hand into the gap to locate the release mechanism, and apply a little force to open it. The Honda CR-V measures 4621mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1679mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2661mm. It is a 5-door, 5-seater SUV with a 6-speed manual transmission, front-wheel drive, and electric power steering.
I've driven a Honda CR-V, and opening the hood is pretty straightforward. First, park the car securely, turn off the engine, and engage the handbrake for safety. Sitting in the driver's seat, there's a release lever near your left knee area—pull it firmly until you hear a click, indicating the hood is unlocked. Then, walk to the front of the car, where you'll find a safety latch at the center bottom edge of the hood. Slide your fingers into the gap to locate it, then push inward or wiggle it sideways to pop the hood open. Remember to take your time and wait a few minutes for the engine to cool to avoid burns. After each car wash, check if the latch moves smoothly to prevent jamming next time. After doing it yourself a few times, you'll get the hang of it—no need to visit a repair shop.
