Engine cover.
The engine cover (also known as the hood) is the most striking body component, and is one of the parts that car buyers often look at. The main requirements for the engine cover are heat insulation and sound insulation, light weight and strong rigidity.
The engine cover is generally composed in structure, the middle clip is made of thermal insulation material, the inner plate plays a role in enhancing rigidity, and its geometry is selected by the manufacturer, basically the skeleton form.
When the engine cover is opened, it is generally turned backward, and a small part is turned forward.
The engine cover turned backwards should be opened at a predetermined Angle, should not be in contact with the front windshield, and should have a minimum spacing of about 10 mm. In order to prevent self-opening due to vibration during driving, the front end of the engine cover should have a safety lock hook locking device, the locking device switch is set under the dashboard of the car, and the engine cover should be locked at the same time when the car door is locked.

What should I do if I can't open the cover of the car
When the car cover cannot be opened, the following methods can be taken to try to solve the problem:
Use screwdriver hook: If the cover is difficult to open, you can try using screwdriver hook. The specific operation is to open the door seal strip, and use a long enough hook to reach into the internal hook door motor, so as to open the boot cover. This method needs to start from below the vehicle, use a tool such as wire to reach under the engine, and try to hook the lock hole of the boot cover.
Pull the hood button: Look for the hood button under the steering wheel of the car. Pulling the hood button usually loosens the hood somewhat. Then, reach into the cover, find the mechanical buckle and pull, you can open the cover. 1
Use the door handle: On some cars, the hood can be opened through the handle under the driver's side A-pillar. Pull the handle forcefully, you will hear the sound of the cover rising, at this time, the cover slightly upward, look for the dark switch inside the front end to operate.
Professional maintenance: If the above methods are ineffective, it may be the cover switch is damaged, the pull cable is off or broken, or the lock spring is not lubricated enough to cause blockage. At this time, it is recommended to send the vehicle to a professional repair shop for maintenance, so as to avoid greater damage caused by their own operation.
Ask for help: If the cover is stuck, you can try to gently hit the cover and ask a friend to pull the release lever inside to see if it can be loosened. If the cable connecting the latch to the cover is stuck or damaged, it may not unlock properly. In this case, a friend can pull the release lever in the car and press the front of the cover at the same time, which may solve the problem.
In the case that the processor cover cannot be opened, the use of brute force to open the cover should be avoided to avoid damage to the parts. If you cannot solve the problem yourself, it is a more secure choice to seek inspection and maintenance by a professional technician.
