Where is the fuse box located in the Hongqi HS5?

The upper cover of the Hongqi HS5 fuse box belongs to the category of engine hood and bracket, and is installed on top of the fuse box. Below is more relevant information: 1. Hongqi HS5 introduction: The Hongqi HS5 is positioned as a mid-size SUV, with body dimensions of 4760mm in length, 1907mm in width, and 1700mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2870mm. In terms of power, this vehicle is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power output of 224 horsepower and a maximum torque of 340 Nm. In terms of the transmission system, the engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. 2. Automotive fuse box: The automotive fuse box is used to install automotive fuses. Based on the size of the fuses installed, it can be divided into: small automotive fuse box, medium automotive fuse box, and large automotive fuse box. Common injection molding materials include: plastic, nylon, bakelite, and PBT engineering plastic, each with different high-temperature resistance levels depending on the material.
I remember the location of the Hongqi HS5's fuse box—the main large fuse box is in the engine compartment, usually tucked in a corner near the battery or the front left wheel. Just search carefully, and you'll find it. When I drive, if I occasionally encounter issues like lights not working, I check here first and then refer to the user manual for comparison. Why is it designed this way? The fuse box in the engine compartment mainly handles engine-related fuses, such as those for the fan and engine lights. Placing it nearby makes inspection and replacement easier. However, be cautious when handling it—don’t touch anything while the system is live. It’s best to park, turn off the engine, and wait for it to cool down to avoid burns or short circuits, which could compromise driving safety. Regularly checking the fuses for signs of blackening or melting can save you from major repairs—small issues like these can often be handled by us car owners ourselves.
After fixing the Hongqi HS5 for others many times, I've noticed the fuse box usually has two main locations: the main fuse box is in the front right corner of the engine bay, with a black plastic cover on the side of the battery box—just lift it to see the fuses inside. There's also a secondary box in the cabin, either in the lower left corner of the dashboard or behind the glove compartment, requiring a screw to be removed for panel access. As for why they're placed separately, the one in the engine bay controls major components like the AC compressor, while the cabin one manages interior features such as the cigarette lighter or audio system—this circuit isolation ensures safety. When checking, first use a multimeter to test the fuse's continuity; if it's blown, replace it with one of the same amperage—never force a higher-rated one in, as it could overload the circuit and damage other components, costing more in repairs. I recommend avoiding electrical modifications to maintain the original setup and prevent unexplained fuse blowouts.
