2 Answers
To open the hood of the X-Trail: 1. Open the car door; 2. Locate the hood release switch on the left side of the foot pedal; 3. Press the switch to open the hood. Taking the 2021 XE Fashion Edition X-Trail as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4675mm, width 1820mm, height 1722mm, with a wheelbase of 2706mm, fuel tank capacity of 65 liters, and trunk capacity of 700 liters. The 2021 XE Fashion Edition X-Trail is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 151PS, maximum power of 111kW, maximum torque of 194Nm, paired with a 7-speed continuously variable transmission.
Opening the hood of the X-Trail is actually quite simple. First, get into the car, and near the lower left side of the driver's seat or under the steering wheel, you'll find a plastic lever, usually black or gray. Pull it gently, and you'll hear a slight "click" sound indicating the hood is unlocked. Don't rush—step out of the car, bend down at the front of the vehicle, and locate a small metal latch or plastic button in the middle or on the side of the hood's front edge. Push it aside or press it down with your hand, then lift the hood with both hands. Don't forget the small support rod underneath the hood—insert it to secure the hood and prevent it from accidentally falling and injuring your hands. A safety reminder: always ensure the engine is off and cool before operating. If you try to open the hood right after driving, the hot air can cause burns. I often use this method to check the oil or add water myself—it's quite convenient and saves money on mechanic visits. Also, remember to check various fluid levels during regular maintenance to prevent small issues from becoming big problems.
