Common mistakes when closing the hood

What is a bonnet?

The hood is also known as the hood. It is a hinged part of the exterior that sits on the engine compartment at the front of the car.

The function of the hood is to protect the details as well as the engine compartment inside the car. The hood can be easily opened and closed for the most convenient purpose of vehicle maintenance and repair.

In addition, the hood also limits the noise emitted from the engine. In the event of a collision, the hood can deform to absorb part of the external force, minimizing the impact caused by the collision to the driver.

Hood closing mistakes drivers easily make

Although it is an important part of the car, not all users use the hood properly. Many people have the habit of lowering the hood and then pressing hard to close it tightly.

However, this is the wrong way to close the hood. This position is usually made of soft metal to absorb the force in case of a collision. Pressing down hard with your hand can cause the hood to deform and dent.

Instead, letting the hood fall freely is the correct way.

Notes when opening/closing the hood

Opening/closing the hood is quite simple, but if not done properly, it can lead to unexpected accidents in some situations. Therefore, users need to pay attention to the following issues when opening/closing the hood:

- Use a bonnet brace before checking any engine in the front of the car, to avoid collapsing the bonnet.

- Do not directly touch the engine system components when the vehicle is running or has a problem while moving on the road to avoid damage or injury.

- Make sure the hood is closed tightly after opening, never leave the hood open while driving as it may cause danger due to loss of visibility or damage.

- When closing the hood, make sure nothing is caught by the hood.

- Because the hood is quite large, if you want to open it, choose a spacious, airy place. Avoid opening the hood in cramped places, as this can easily cause injury to the person doing it and those around.
