To pop the hood on your BMW iX, first make sure the vehicle is completely powered down. Then, locate the hood release lever down by your left foot on the driver's side—it's usually positioned just below the steering wheel. Give that lever a good pull, and you'll hear the hood pop open slightly. Next, head around to the front of the car. Stick your hand into the gap at the center of the hood's leading edge, feel for the secondary release latch, and push it up. Now you can lift the hood—the iX uses electric struts, so no need to prop it open manually. Super convenient, right?
For our Malaysian drivers, keep in mind the iX is a fully electric SUV, so what's under that hood is different from your typical gas-powered ride. You'll find components like the electric motor and charging modules in there. When it comes to regular maintenance, it's best to leave that to the pros to keep things safe. That said, keeping an eye on your coolant and brake fluid levels is easy to do yourself and key for keeping your iX running smoothly. If you run into any issues, just reach out to your nearest BMW Malaysia authorized service center—they'll get you sorted.
