The method to open and close the hood of the S90 is: Open the car door to access the hood release switch, pull the handle near the foot pedal to release the hood from its fully closed position, creating a small gap. Insert your hand and press the internal yellow button to fully open the hood. Lift it about ten centimeters, then let it drop with a slight force until you hear a 'bang' sound to close it. Taking the 2021 Volvo S90 as an example, it belongs to the mid-to-large-sized car category, with body dimensions of: length 5090mm, width 1879mm, height 1450mm, a wheelbase of 3061mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The 2021 Volvo S90 features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, producing a maximum horsepower of 250PS, a maximum power of 184kW, and a maximum torque of 350Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving the S90 for almost three years now, and operating the hood is actually quite simple but safety is important. To open it, there's a lever near your left foot when you're in the driver's seat—just bend down, pull it until you hear a click, and don't use too much force. Then quickly get out and go to the front of the car. The hood will pop up slightly, allowing you to slide your right hand in, find the sliding latch, and push it to the left while gently lifting the hood with your left hand. Don't forget to prop up the support rod to secure it. When closing the hood, press it down gently with both hands to about halfway, then let it drop and lock on its own. Always check that the latch is properly secured, or it might pop open on bumpy roads. The hood seal is crucial, so regularly inspect the rubber strip for wear to avoid leaks—water damage would be a hassle. Also, in winter, wait until the engine has cooled down before handling the hood to avoid burn risks.
