Power Windows
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for the power windows to
operate.
WARNING
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing a window:
Closing power windows are
dangerous. A person's hands, head,
or even neck could be caught by the
window and result in serious injury
or even death.
This warning applies especially to
children.
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: 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.
CAUTION
To prevent burning out the fuse and
damaging the power window system,
do not open or close more than three
windows at once.

Jam-safe window
If a person's hands, head or an object
blocks the window during the manual
closing operation or the auto-closing
operation, the window will stop and open
halfway.

position or while fully holding up the
power window switch is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function
cannot prevent the window from
stopping. If fingers are caught,
serious injuries could occur. NOTE
lDepending on driving conditions, a closing
power window could stop and start opening
when the window feels a shock that is
similar to something blocking it.
In the event the jam-safe function activates
and the power window cannot be closed
automatically, pull and hold the switch fully
and the window will close.
lThe jam-safe window function does not
operate until the system is re-initialized.

ACC or LOCK position with all doors
closed. If either front door is opened, the
power window will be inoperable.
NOTE
lFor engine-off operation of the power
window, the switch must be held up firmly
throughout window closure because the
auto-closing function will be inoperable.
lThe two-step down function is inoperable

surrounding brightness.
qOpening/Closing the Power
Windows from Outside
The front power windows can be opened
or closed from outside the vehicle after
the doors and the hatch/liftgate/trunk lid
are closed.
The front power windows may be
operated when the power window lock
switch on the driver's door is in the lock
or unlocked position.
WARNING
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing a window:
Closing power windows are
dangerous. A person's hands, head,

NOTE
The power windows cannot be opened or
closed from outside the vehicle under the
following condition:
lA door or the hatch/liftgate/trunk lid is
opened.
lThe key is inserted into the ignition switch.
Opening
Because nobody likes getting into a very
hot car, Mazda has introduced a way to
open the two front windows as you
approach the vehicle to get the air moving
before you get in.
WARNING
Use the auto-window function only
when you can see the vehicle and it is
in a secure area: Do not let children play with your
keys. If they open the window
without your knowing, the open
windows are an even bigger
invitation to a thief than leaving the
doors unlocked.
The windows can be opened for
ventilating the cabin before getting in the
vehicle.
With unlock button (Keyless entry
system)
Press once, then press again within 1.5
seconds and hold.
After the doors and the hatch/liftgate/
trunk lid are unlocked, the two front
windows open while the unlock button is
pressed.
To stop the windows while opening,
release the button.
If the operation is performed from the
beginning again, the windows open.
