There is a release handle located under the dashboard on the driver's left calf side, towards the front of the car. After pulling the release handle, the hood will slightly pop up. Insert your [hand] into the [center] of the front edge of the hood, locate the [secondary latch handle], and lift the lever to the left while holding it. After opening the hood, take out the [support rod], place one end into the [support slot], and use it to prop up the hood.

Opening the hood of the 2021 Nissan Sylphy is quite straightforward in my opinion. First, sit in the driver's seat and locate a small lever or handle near the clutch or brake pedal, just below the left side of the steering wheel. Give it a firm pull, and the hood will pop up slightly. Next, walk to the front of the car, reach into the gap of the hood, and find the safety latch—usually a yellow or green clip. Gently push it to the left or hold it down while lifting the hood upward with force to fully open it. Take your time during the process; beginners often forget to find the safety latch or lift the hood too forcefully, risking hand injuries. As a car enthusiast, I frequently open it to check the engine oil and coolant, ensuring proper engine compartment maintenance for peace of mind while driving. Remember, the hood is a protective cover, so always make sure the support rod is securely fixed to prevent it from being blown down by wind. I recommend new owners practice a few times to get familiar with the process—it becomes effortless with experience.

Where to Handle Driver's License Point Deduction?

Driver's license violation points can be processed at the vehicle management office or nearby traffic police stations. Driver's license point deduction: If a motor vehicle driver's accumulated points in a scoring period do not reach 12, and the imposed fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. If the points do not reach 12 but there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next scoring period. Driver's license suspension: When a Class C driver's license accumulates 12 points in a scoring period, the holder must attend a training course at the vehicle management office as required, followed by an exam. The license can only continue to be used after passing the exam. Driving on the road during the period when the exam is not passed is prohibited and will be considered unlicensed driving.

What Causes Spot-like Paint Peeling on the Hood?

It could be due to localized color difference defects in the paint that were present when the vehicle left the factory, caused by insufficient uniformity during the paint spraying process. Below is relevant information: Automotive Paint: Automotive paint primarily serves to protect the vehicle body from corrosion and secondarily enhances the vehicle's aesthetic appeal, serving as a means for many car owners to express their individuality. Concept: Automotive paint refers to the paint sprayed onto a car, known as automotive paint. Automotive paint is a type of coating. Applying paint coatings to a car not only forms a protective film on the body surface, making the vehicle less susceptible to corrosion and extending its lifespan, but also provides an aesthetically pleasing experience.

Can a Damaged Wheel Hub Be Repaired?

Wheel hubs can be repaired. Below is relevant information about automotive wheel hub repairs: 1. Surface Damage: Primarily involving wear and scratches on the hub surface. Repairs only address the surface and generally do not affect the main load-bearing structure of the original hub, having minimal impact on the hub's reliability and safety. 2. Hub Deformation: This refers to the hub becoming deformed, twisted, or out-of-round due to external forces, which can be forcibly corrected. However, even if no fine cracks are visible to the naked eye, from a scientific perspective, the metal structure in this area is entirely different from that of a normal hub. 3. Fracture Damage: When a hub suffers a severe impact, it may experience varying degrees of fractures or chips. Although fractured hubs can be repaired through welding, their safety performance significantly decreases.

How Many Kilometers Before Refueling?

Generally, refuel when the remaining driving distance is about 100 kilometers. Precautions: Do not wait until the fuel is completely used up before refueling. For fuel-injected vehicles, the electric fuel pump is cooled by the fuel in the tank. Running out of fuel may cause the vehicle to break down midway or even damage the engine. It may also burn out the fuel pump. Additionally, there are more impurities at the bottom of the tank, which can clog the fuel system. Other Considerations: If you are not traveling long distances, filling the tank to two-thirds capacity in urban areas is sufficient. Overfilling increases the vehicle's weight, which in turn increases fuel consumption. Refueling within the specified safe capacity is acceptable. Safe Capacity: The officially marked fuel tank capacity is the safe capacity. Considering vehicle safety and the thermal expansion and contraction characteristics of fuel, manufacturers design the fuel tank with a certain safety margin.

What are the pros and cons of engine carbon cleaning?

"Carbon cleaning" is also known as the chemical carbon removal method, commonly referred to as "fuel injector cleaning." It uses chemical reactions to alter the molecular structure of substances like gum deposits in carbon buildup, thereby achieving cleaning. Carbon buildup accumulates over time and can generally be prevented with timely engine maintenance. Below are the pros and cons of engine carbon cleaning: Pros of engine carbon cleaning: It can promptly resolve issues such as difficulty starting the engine, reduced engine power, and easy valve burn-out. Carbon cleaning is essential for maintaining engine cleanliness. Cons of engine carbon cleaning: The drawbacks of engine carbon cleaning may include increased engine noise, higher fuel consumption, and the relatively high cost of the procedure when performed at a 4S dealership.

Can You Stop at a Red Light in a Variable Lane?

No, stopping at a red light in a variable lane is considered a traffic violation. Below is relevant information about variable lanes: Introduction: Variable lanes have multiple jagged diagonal lines on the inner side and are also known as variable direction lanes. They are primarily set up at intersections, where the lane direction can be flexibly adjusted based on traffic flow characteristics during different time periods, changing the driving direction of the lane to alleviate traffic congestion. Precautions: When driving through a variable lane, pay attention to the direction indicators. There are usually signs before entering a variable lane, some located on the median strip in the middle of the road, some at the base of traffic light poles, and others directly overhead on the road. These signs indicate the current traffic status of the variable lane—whether it is for straight or left-turn traffic—simply follow the direction indicated by the signs.
