Kia Rio: Hood / Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check the following:
- All filler caps in the engine compartment must be correctly installed.
- Gloves, rags or any other combustible material must be removed from the
engine compartment.
2. Return the support rod to its clip to prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the hood until it is about 30 cm (1 ft ) above the closed position and
let it drop. Make sure that it locks into place.
4. 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.

Do not leave gloves, rags or any other combustible material in the engine
compartment. Doing so may cause a heat-induced fire.
