WARNING
Operating Power Sliding Doors:
Opening or closing the power sliding
doors while not watching the doors
move is dangerous. People or animals
could be injured when the doors open
along the rear sides and back to the
rear fender, or in closing. Because of
unseen obstacles and the jam-safe
feature a door may not close
completely and, if left unnoticed, could
result in serious injury or death if an
occupant were to fall out of the
vehicle.
Always be sure that the doorway and
rear fender area is clear before
activating the power sliding doors. Be
sure to view the power sliding doors
opening or closing and make sure that
you watch them close completely.
WARNING
Moving the Vehicle while Closing
Power Sliding Doors:
Shifting out of Park (P) while the
doors are moving is dangerous. The
doors will not close completely and
this could result in serious injury or
death if an occupant were to fall out of
the vehicle. Occupants in the vehicle
will also not have full protection in a
collision. Always be sure the doors
completely close before you shift into
gear and move the vehicle.
Children and the Power Sliding Door
Switches:
Allowing children to operate the
power sliding door switches and the
keyless entry system is dangerous.
Children are not aware of the dangers
of people getting fingers and hands
caught in moving doors. Never allow
children to operate the power sliding
door system.
Open Windows and Power Sliding
Doors:
It is dangerous to stick your head or
hands out the power sliding door
windows while the doors are opening/
closing. A head or hands could be
caught resulting in serious injury.
Never stick your head or hands out the
power sliding door windows.

WARNING
Closing Power Windows:
Closing power windows are
dangerous. A person's hands, head, or

window and result in serious injury or
even death.
This warning applies especially to
children. Make sure the opening is
clear before closing a window.
Children and Power Windows:
Leaving the power window switches
unlocked while children are in the
vehicle is dangerous. Power window
switches that are not locked with the
power window lock switch would allow
children to operate power windows
unintentionally which could result in
serious injury if a child's hands, head
or neck becomes caught by the
window. Always lock all passenger
power windows with the power
window lock switch on the driver's
side while children are in the vehicle,
and never allow children to play with
power window switches.
CAUTION
To prevent burning out the fuse and
damaging the power window system,
don't open or close more than three
windows at once.

Engine Exhaust (Carbon Monoxide)
WARNING
Carbon Monoxide:
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This gas contains carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless, odorless, and poisonous. When inhaled, it can cause loss of consciousness
and death. If you smell exhaust gas inside your vehicle, keep all windows fully open
and contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer immediately.
Exhaust Gas in Enclosed Area:
Running the engine inside an enclosed area, such as a garage, is dangerous. Exhaust
gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could easily enter the cabin. Loss of
consciousness or even death could occur. Don't run the engine when inside an
enclosed area.
Idling with the Windows Closed:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When your vehicle is stopped with the windows closed and
the engine running for a long time even in an open area, exhaust gas, which contains
poisonous carbon monoxide, could enter the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even
death could occur. Open the windows or adjust the heating or cooling system to draw
fresh air.
Snow Blocking the Exhaust Gas:
Running the engine when a vehicle is stopped in deep snow is dangerous. The exhaust
pipe could be blocked by the snow, allowing exhaust gas to enter the cabin. Because
exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide, anyone in the cabin could be
injured or killed. Clear the snow from underneath and around your vehicle,
particularly the tail pipe, before starting the engine.
