Mazda CX-3: Hood / Opening the Hood
- 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.

NOTE
The lever is located a little to the left of
center when facing the vehicle.
- Grasp the support rod in the padded
area and secure it in the support rod
hole indicated by the arrow to hold the
hood open.

WARNING
Always check that the hood is closed and
securely locked: A hood that is not closed and securely
locked is dangerous as it could fly open
while the vehicle is moving and block the
driver's vision which could result in a
serious accident...
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...
Other information:
The AUTOHOLD function automatically holds the vehicle stopped, even if you
take your
foot off the brake pedal. This function can be best used while stopped in
traffic or at a traffic
light. The brakes are released when you resume driving the vehicle such as by
releasing the
clutch pedal with the shift lever shifted to a position other than the neutral
position (manual
transaxle vehicle) or depressing the accelerator pedal (automatic transaxle
vehicle)...
