WARNING
Always take all children and pets with
you or leave a responsible person with
them: Leaving a child or a pet unattended in
a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle
can become high enough to cause
brain damage or even death.

Do not leave the key in your vehicle with
children and keep them in a place where
your children will not fi nd or play with
them: Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed.

Keep all doors locked when driving: Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle
are dangerous. Passengers can fall out
if a door is accidentally opened and
can more easily be thrown out in an
accident.

Always close all the windows and
moonroof, lock the doors and take the
key with you when leaving your vehicle
unattended: Leaving your vehicle unlocked is
dangerous as children could lock
themselves in a hot vehicle, which
could result in death. Also, a vehicle left
unlocked becomes an easy target for
thieves and intruders.
After closing the doors, always verify
that they are securely closed:
Doors not securely closed are
dangerous, if the vehicle is driven with
a door not securely closed, the door
could open unexpectedly resulting in
an accident.

Always confi rm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door: Suddenly opening a door is dangerous.
A passing vehicle or a pedestrian could
be hit and cause an accident.

WARNING
Do not let passengers stand up or
extend part of the body through the
open moonroof while the vehicle is
moving: Extending the head, arms, or other
parts of the body through the

vehicle is moving. This could cause
serious injury or death.

Make sure the opening is clear before
closing the moonroof: A closing moonroof is dangerous. The
hands, head, or even neck of a person,
especially a child, could be caught in
it as it closes, causing serious injury or
even death.
NOTE
Before washing your Mazda, make sure
the moonroof is completely closed so that
water does not get inside the cabin area.
After washing your Mazda or after it rains,
wipe the water off the moonroof before

which could cause rust and water damage
to your headliner.
