Mazda CX-3: Hood / Closing the Hood
- Check under the hood area to make
certain all filler caps are in place and
all loose items (e.g. tools, oil
containers, etc.) have been removed.
- Lift the hood, grasp the padded area on
the support rod, and secure the support
rod in the clip. Verify that the support
rod is secured in the clip before closing
the hood.

- Lower the hood slowly to a height of
about 20 cm (7.9 in) above its closed
position and then let it drop.
CAUTION
When closing the hood, do not push it
excessively such as by applying your
weight. Otherwise, the hood could be
deformed.
With the vehicle parked, pull the release handle to unlock the hood.
Insert your hand into the hood
opening, slide the latch lever to the
right, and lift up the hood...
Other information:
The manual shift mode gives you the feel
of driving a manual transaxle vehicle by
allowing you to operate the selector lever
manually. This allows you to control
engine rpm and torque to the drive wheels
much like a manual transaxle when more
control is desired...
Introduction

kind of maintenance such as car washing. In particular, wear thick work gloves
such as
cotton gloves when touching areas that are difficult to see while inspecting or
working on
your vehicle...
