Kia Cadenza: Hood / Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check the
following:
- All filler caps in engine compartment
must be correctly installed.
- Gloves, rags or any other combustible
material must be
removed from the engine compartment.
2. Lower the hood until it is about 12
inches (30 cm) above the closed
position and let it drop. Make sure
that it locks into place.
3. Check that the hood has engaged
properly. If the hood can be raised
slightly, it is not properly engaged.
Open it again and close it with a little
more force.
CAUTION - Hood obstruction
Before closing the hood, ensure
that all obstructions are removed
from the hood opening. Closing
the hood with an obstruction
present in the hood opening may
result in property damage.
WARNING - Fire risk
Do not leave gloves, rags or any
other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so
may cause a heat-induced fire.
