How to Open the Hood of Qoros 5?

Locate a handle at the lower left side of the dashboard in the driver's compartment and pull it. Then find the second handle for opening the hood and pull it. Identify the position of the external handle, pull this handle towards the right side until it stops, then lift the hood. After raising the engine compartment hood, you will see a metal rod on the left side; simply prop it up.
The steps to open the Qoros 5 hood are actually quite straightforward. You sit in the driver's seat, lean down to look at the area near your left foot, where there's a small lever marked with the hood icon. Give it a firm pull to trigger the first unlocking mechanism, and the hood will pop up slightly. Then immediately get out of the car, walk to the front, and feel for the safety latch hook under the center of the hood. Gently push or flip it, and the hood will fully open. Don't forget to lift and secure the metal support rod to ensure it stays in place and doesn't suddenly drop to avoid finger injuries. Beginners should practice a few times in an open area. In winter, the metal might rust and stick—spraying some lubricant makes it much easier. I often help friends with car repairs and have seen similar issues. Getting into the habit of checking the manual saves trouble.
The last time I opened the hood of my Qoros 5 was quite interesting. I was preparing to add windshield washer fluid, and my friend taught me the procedure. First, sit in the driver's seat, and there's a lever near your left foot—just pull it to release the hood. But the crucial part is the second step: after getting out of the car and going to the front, there's a latch inside the hood gap that you need to manually release to fully open it. At first, I missed that step and only released it without opening it. Later, I learned to remember the position directly. Remember not to walk away immediately after lifting the hood; use the support rod to secure it firmly, otherwise, there's a high risk of it closing on its own. Now, I always check this before driving to ensure safety.
