What is underhood?

"Underhood" usually refers to the engine compartment or space found in the front part of a vehicle where the engine, transmission, and other mechanical parts are located. The underhood area typically includes components like the battery, radiator, alternator, cooling and heating systems, power steering pump, and various belts and hoses that connect all these parts together. Working on the underhood of a vehicle requires some knowledge of the different components and systems that are present, as well as certain safety precautions when handling hot or moving engine parts. Regular maintenance and inspection of the underhood area are critical for keeping the vehicle running smoothly and preventing any major breakdowns or repairs.
