If the hood won't open, it is recommended to take the car to a 4S shop for repair. The engine operates in a high-temperature, high-pressure, and flammable environment, where accidents such as explosions, fires, or leaks may occur due to overheating or unexpected component failures. The hood effectively blocks damage caused by explosions, acting as a protective shield. Most hood release levers are located under the dashboard on the driver's side. There is a handle that, when pulled gently, will cause the hood to pop slightly. Then, locate the protruding switch near the hood to open it. If the hood still won't open, try using a sturdy tool to pry it open. If prying doesn't work, it is advisable to take the car to a 4S shop for repair.

What are the reasons why the car key does not respond when pressed?

When the car key does not respond when pressed, it may be due to the key fob battery being dead or interference from a magnetic field. Another possibility is that the car's anti-theft system has been activated. Once the anti-theft system is activated, the car cannot be unlocked using the key. The owner can use the mechanical key on the remote key fob to unlock the car. Generally, the mechanical lock on the car door is hidden. By using the mechanical key to pry off the outer shell of the door handle, the hidden mechanical lock can be revealed. If the key fob battery is dead, the owner can replace it themselves. First, remove the mechanical key and locate the gap in the plastic casing. Use the mechanical key to open the remote key fob along the gap. During this process, be careful not to damage the internal circuit board, as it is very small and cannot be repaired if damaged.

What is the normal tire pressure for SUV tires?

SUV tire pressure is normal between 2.2 and 2.5. Owners can find the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure value for their specific model from the label near the door B-pillar or C-pillar. It's impossible to control the tire pressure perfectly accurate; it can be slightly higher but must never be too low. Seasonal factors also play a role; compared to winter, tire pressure should be slightly lower in summer. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: 1. Reduces tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; 2. Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; 4. Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; 5. Overextends and deforms tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; 6. Decreases resistance to punctures.

Below is relevant information about salvage cars: 1. Overview: A salvage car refers to a vehicle that has sustained damage from non-natural wear and tear incidents, resulting in diminished mechanical performance and economic value. Generally, "salvage cars" are vehicles with structural damage. Additionally, flood-damaged cars and fire-damaged cars also fall under the category of "special salvage cars." 2. Identification Methods: Methods to identify salvage cars include: exterior inspection, headlight inspection, insurance record checks, and interior examination.

What are the hazards of turning the steering wheel to the lock position?

Hazards of turning the steering wheel to the lock position: 1. Damage to cars equipped with mechanical hydraulic power steering systems; 2. Harm to the car's suspension; 3. Accelerated tire wear and reduced lifespan. When parking, turning the steering wheel can be difficult, but when the car is running, steering becomes much easier, all thanks to the power steering system. The power steering system is divided into two categories: 1. Mechanical hydraulic power steering system, whose main components include a hydraulic pump, oil pipes, pressure fluid control valve, V-belt, oil reservoir, etc. Its working principle is that when the engine starts, it relies on the engine's power to assist in steering by using hydraulic force to push the steering linkage when turning the steering wheel; 2. Electric power steering system, which is an upgraded version based on the mechanical hydraulic power steering system.

What is the Cobra Car Logo?

Cobra refers to the Ford Cobra and Dodge Viper. Below are details about the Ford Cobra: 1. Exterior: The Ford Mustang Cobra is based on the fifth-generation Ford Mustang, but with appropriate modifications to match its performance upgrades. 2. Interior: The cabin features a distinct American sports car style, with a predominantly black dashboard accented by silver trim for a layered effect. The instrument cluster is highly informative, displaying six gauges: speed, RPM, fuel level, boost pressure, water temperature, and oil temperature. The 260 km/h speedometer appears conservative, as this venomous serpent could undoubtedly challenge 300 km/h if the speed limiter were removed.
