[DiTravis]

The method to open the hood when the release cable is broken is: Remove the vehicle's fender or bumper, reach under the hood latch with your hand and pull hard to release the latch, which will open the hood. If the hood is stuck and won't open, the solutions are: 1. Lubricate the hood latch spring; 2. Use a tool to hook open the hood, or insert a wire from under the vehicle's engine into the hood latch hole to pull it open. The functions of the hood are: 1. Airflow direction; 2. Protection for the engine and surrounding pipeline components; 3. Assisting driver visibility by effectively adjusting the direction of reflected light; 4. Preventing accidents; 5. Isolating the heat generated by the engine during operation.
