Kia Forte: Hood / Hood open warning
The warning message will appear on the LCD display when hood is open.
The warning chime will operate when the vehicle is being driven at or above 3 km/h (2 mph) with the hood open.
WARNING - Unsecured engine hood
Always double check to be sure that the hood is firmly latched before driving away. If it is not latched, the hood could fly open while the vehicle is being driven, causing a total loss of visibility, which might result in an accident.

Before closing the hood, ensure that all obstructions are removed from the engine compartment and surrounding body sheet metal. Closing the hood with an obstruction present could result in damage to the engine, sheet metal or the impacted objects.
WARNING
The support rod must be inserted completely into the hole whenever you inspect the engine compartment. This will prevent the hood from falling and possibly injuring you.
