Liftgate - Hyundai Santa Cruz Owner's Manual

Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check in and
around the engine compartment to
ensure the following:
- Any tools or other loose objects
are removed from the engine room
area or hood opening area
- All glove, rags, or other
combustible material is removed
from the engine compartment
- All filler caps are tightly and
correctly installed
2. Return the hood support rod to its clip
to prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the hood until it is about 30 cm
(12in.) 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.
WARNING
• Before closing the hood, ensure
all obstructions are removed from
around the hood opening.
• Always double check to be sure that
the hood is firmly latched before
driving away. Check there is no
hood open warning light or message
displayed on the instrument cluster.
Driving with the hood opened may
cause a total loss of visibility, which
might result in an accident.
• Do not move the vehicle with the
hood in the raised position, as vision
is obstructed, which might result in
an accident, and the hood could fall
or be damaged.
