366II. Removable Sheet Metal Parts
(I) Engine Hood, Front Fender1. Engine hood is mainly used to protect the engine, meet the whole vehicle design, and make the mainte-
nance convenient. It also has an effect of isolating the engine noise. The engine hood has a double-insurance
lock system. The release of the first lock is controlled by the drawing cable that is under the instrument panel.
As to the release of the second lock, you should firstly release the first one and the hood will open, and then
move the hood lock hook. The double-insurance lock system is designed for safety, especially in the course
of running with a high-speed, to prevent the engine hood from being raised, which often causes traffic
accidents. The angle of the hood that is fully opened is 52°.As shown in Figure 5-8
