In addition to charging the battery, there is another solution, which is jump-starting. The methods to manually open the hood are introduced as follows: Pull the hood release lever: There is a hood release button under the car's steering wheel. The owner only needs to pull it, and the hood will generally loosen. Lift the hood, reach inside, and flip a mechanical latch to open the hood. Use a screwdriver to hook open the hood: When the hood cannot be opened, there is another method to solve it, which is to use a screwdriver to hook open the hood. The specific method is to crawl under the car, use a wire to reach the hood lock hole from under the vehicle's engine, and pull to open the front hood. Remove the door seal: The owner can open the driver's door, remove the seal on the side of the door glass, then make a hook with thick wire, about one and a half meters long, reach into the lower right corner to hook the door motor, and the hood can be opened.
