The switch is located at the lower left side of the driver's compartment. Here is more information about Haval vehicles: 1. Introduction: Haval is a sub-brand of Great Wall Motors, established on March 29, 2013. As an SUV-focused brand, Haval operates in parallel with the Great Wall brand, using independent logos, product development, production, and service systems. It mainly engages in SUV production and sales. The brand includes three series: H, M, and F. 2. Product Planning: Haval has set a detailed product plan. Currently, the H5 and H6 models are available for sale. In the next two years, eight SUV models from H2 to H9 will be launched, forming the product lineup of the Haval brand. Even-numbered models are positioned as urban SUVs, including H2, H4, H6, and H8; odd-numbered models are positioned as off-road SUVs, including H3, H5, H7, and H9. The Haval H9 will be a full-size SUV model, expected to be launched next year, while the new H2 and H8 will be released within this year.
I remember sweating bullets trying to find the hood release when I first drove my friend's Haval. After sitting in the driver's seat with my left foot on the brake, I glanced toward the outer side and spotted a small lever near the floor under the dashboard—usually made of black plastic—that gives a satisfying click when pulled to release the hood. Then you need to park, turn off the engine, walk to the front, manually lift the hood, and disengage the safety latch. This placement is designed for convenient and safe operation, preventing accidental activation while driving. As a newbie, I'd recommend checking the owner's manual illustrations first—they show it crystal clear. Though rarely used, the hood release is crucial for periodic checks of engine oil or coolant, allowing you to inspect other components for abnormalities. Never fiddle with it while driving—an unlatched hood can cause disasters, potentially flying up at high speed and blocking your vision dangerously.
