2 Answers
The method to open the hood of the Roewe RX5 is as follows: 1. Pull the hood release lever located on the lower left side of the driver's dashboard inside the car; 2. Push the hood lock safety hook handle, located in the middle left position of the radiator grille, to the right to disengage it; 3. Lift the hood, remove the hood support rod, and prop it up. The Roewe RX5 is an internet SUV under SAIC Roewe, featuring Blue Core high-efficiency power technology and equipped with either a 2.0T or 1.5T in-cylinder direct injection turbocharged engine. Additionally, the Roewe RX5 incorporates Porsche-tuned chassis, GKN intelligent all-wheel-drive system (shared with Land Rover), fully independent suspension system, and a four-way high-speed CANBUS system bus, all of which significantly enhance the driving and riding experience.
I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for a while now, and opening the hood has always been smooth. Before sitting in the driver's seat, remember the most important steps: park the car securely, turn off the engine, and engage the handbrake. Look down near your left foot, just below the steering wheel at about knee height, and you'll find a plastic lever. Give it a pull, and you'll hear a 'click' as the hood pops up slightly. Then, step out and walk to the front of the car. Near the center or slightly lower part of the hood, you'll feel a small metal hook or latch. Press or gently push it, and the hood will open fully. If it doesn't work, the lever might not have been pulled firmly enough—try a few more times without using excessive force to avoid damaging the parts. I recommend regularly cleaning dust and grime around the hood latch to prevent rust and sticking. While you're at it, check the coolant and engine oil levels—it’s a good way to maintain your car and prevent issues. These small habits make driving safer and help you understand basic maintenance better.
