I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for several years, and the hood release is located in the driver's position. After getting into the car, look towards the footwell. Above the left footrest pedal, in the lower left corner of the dashboard, there's a plastic handle marked with a front-end car pattern or a triangular symbol. You need to pull it firmly until you hear a click sound indicating the hood has popped open. A reminder: after pulling the handle, you still need to get out of the car to operate the safety latch in front of the hood, which is located right behind the car emblem in the center of the front end. At first, I couldn't find that safety latch either, but later I realized you need to reach in with your hand and flip the switch to fully open the hood. When operating, never open the hood on a slope as it may slide and cause injury. Also, the hood might be a bit tight when opening it for the first time on a new car, but it will loosen up after a few tries.

The hood release lever of the Roewe RX5 is located on the driver's side, specifically below your left knee near the brake pedal. Look down at the bottom of the instrument panel, and you'll find a black lever marked with a hood icon. Remember to adjust your seat position for better leverage before pulling it, and pull it all the way to its maximum travel. After pulling, the hood will slightly pop up. Then, walk to the front of the car, reach inside the gap near the emblem to find a yellow latch, and flip it sideways to fully open the hood. A helpful tip: If the hood hasn't been opened for a long time, the lever might be stiff—spray some WD-40 lubricant in advance. Once opened, always secure the hood with the support rod. Winter is the most convenient time to check the antifreeze.

The bonnet release lever of the Roewe RX5 is located at the lower left side of the cockpit. When seated in the driver's position, look down near your left leg to find a handle with an embossed front emblem, positioned adjacent to the door frame. Apply firm force to pull the lever until you hear the bonnet pop open. After exiting the vehicle, proceed to the front and locate the mechanical latch within the bonnet gap, typically positioned above the logo - slide it sideways to release. If visibility is poor, use your phone's flashlight to spot the distinctive yellow pull tab. Always wear gloves to prevent hand injuries. In winter, the latch may freeze; gently wiggle it sideways to loosen. After closing the bonnet, press down twice to ensure secure locking.

Why is the refueling amount larger than the fuel tank capacity?

Car refueling amount is larger than the fuel tank capacity because there is a 5% difference between the rated capacity and the actual capacity of the fuel tank. For example, if the rated capacity is 95 liters, its actual capacity can reach at least 100 liters. It is understood that this error will be further amplified during the manufacturing process of the automobile factory. Most automobile manufacturers increase the "actual capacity" of the fuel tank by 7% or even 10% over the "rated capacity" to improve the safety factor of the car. The gasoline tank of a car is composed of components such as the filler pipe, filter, and filler extension pipe. In a full state, the actual refueling capacity consists of the gasoline in the tank, filler pipe, and filler extension pipe, while the fuel tank capacity marked on the car's factory manual specifically refers to the capacity of the tank itself, excluding the refueling capacity of the connecting pipeline between the tank and the filler port. Refueling precautions: It is wrong to refuel after the fuel tank alarm sounds. It is best not to wait for the fuel tank alarm to refuel. The car's fuel pump is located in the fuel tank. When the fuel tank alarm sounds, the fuel pump will be exposed in the fuel tank. Prolonged exposure in this state can damage the gasoline pump.

How to Use the Hill Start Assist on the X-Trail?

Below are the steps to use the hill start assist on the X-Trail: 1. When you want to stop on a slope, press the brake pedal all the way down. The brake light will illuminate (note: not the handbrake light). First, ensure that the triggering conditions are met, and then test whether the hill start assist function is activated. 2. Release the brake pedal. If you notice that the brake light remains on and the vehicle stays stationary on the slope, it indicates that the function has been triggered. Otherwise, the vehicle will roll backward. The following are the necessary conditions for using the hill start assist on the X-Trail: 1. The vehicle must be stationary. 2. The vehicle must detect a slope, with the gradient not less than 7%. 3. Fasten the seatbelt to prevent injury due to strong starting force. 4. Release the handbrake. 5.

Is it okay to leave the car outside on rainy days?

Leaving the car outside on rainy days has no impact on the internal components of the car, as the interior is waterproofed. However, rainwater can cause some damage to the car's paint, which can be avoided by rinsing the car body after the rain. Post-rain car care methods: Rainwater in urban areas has a lower pH value and may carry some sticky substances. When the rainwater evaporates, these sticky substances can adhere to the car and become difficult to remove. Therefore, car owners should take their vehicles to a 4S shop or a professional car detailing center as soon as possible after the rain for a thorough cleaning. It is also advisable to perform a paint treatment, with waxing being a simple and effective method. Hazards of prolonged exposure to rain: Prolonged exposure to rain can soften the car's paint. The car's paint is the most vulnerable part of the body, enduring damage from acid rain, oxides, ultraviolet rays, and other harmful elements, which can reduce the protective capability of the car's paint and lead to phenomena like roughness and spots on the paint surface.
