How to open the hood of the Leiling?
2 Answers
The method to open the hood of the Leiling: First, locate the hood release lever on the left side of the driver's compartment near the door pillar. Pull the lever, and you will hear a click from the front. Then, go to the front of the car, and you will see a gap of about 1cm between the hood and the body. With one hand lifting the hood, use the other hand to reach in from the top of the grille and pull the hood release latch. Then, push the hood up and secure it with the support rod. The Leiling Hybrid version is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 1.8L Atkinson cycle engine and an electric motor. The engine has a maximum output of 99 horsepower, while the electric motor delivers a maximum of 72 horsepower. The exterior features a bolder chrome trim on the grille that integrates seamlessly with the new LED headlights. The front fascia's large grille has been adjusted in size and is now outlined with a trapezoidal trim.
I've been driving a Levin for several years, and the hood release is particularly easy to find near the left foot position. First, sit in the driver's seat and look down at the bottom left corner of the dashboard—there's a plastic handle with an engine icon. Grab it and pull firmly toward you until you hear a 'pop' from the front. The hood will then pop up slightly. Walk to the front center of the car, slide your fingers into the gap, and feel for a movable lever. While pushing it to the left with your right hand, use your left hand to lift the hood—it's a bit heavy, so apply some force to raise it fully. Then, reach inside with your right hand, pull out the silver support rod, and secure it into the triangular slot on the hood. Remember to turn off the engine and engage the parking brake before operating. Be cautious as some metal parts may be hot if the car has just completed a long drive. After opening, don’t forget to check the coolant and windshield washer fluid—these minor tasks can be handled easily during routine maintenance.
