Method to open the hood of the Sylphy: 1. The hood release lever of the Sylphy is located under the left side of the dashboard; 2. Gently pull the hood release lever, and the hood will open slightly; 3. Reach into the gap, locate the latch inside, and pull it upward to fully open the hood. After opening the hood, use the hood support rod to secure it in place, ensuring it is stable before letting go. The Sylphy is a sedan series launched by Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company in 1959, with body dimensions of 4641mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1447mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2712mm.
Opening the hood of a Nissan Sylphy is actually quite simple. I learned it through hands-on experience. First, sit in the driver's seat, bend down, and feel for a small lever under the left side of the steering wheel. Gently pull it, and you'll hear a click indicating the hood is unlocked. Then, get out of the car, walk to the front, squat down, and find a safety latch in the gap between the hood and the front grille. Reach in and lift or push it to unlock. Next, grab the central handle of the hood, lift it gently upward, and secure it with the support rod inside. The whole process takes less than a minute. I usually do this when checking the engine oil, and I recommend doing it when the engine is cold to avoid burns. Also, keep the lever and latch clean to prevent rust from affecting the unlocking. If you encounter resistance, don't force it; check if the unlocking steps weren't completed properly. Regularly opening the hood to inspect the car's condition can help prevent potential minor issues and save you from repair troubles.
