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 keys in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a place
where your children will not find 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. They could play with power
windows or other controls, or even
make the vehicle move.
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.

Inside Trunk Release
Lever (Sedan)
Your vehicle is equipped with an inside
trunk release handle that provides a means
of escape for children and adults in the
event they become locked inside the
trunk.
No matter how careful adults might be
with keys and locking their cars, parents
should be aware that children may be
tempted to play around vehicles and use
the trunk as a hiding place.
Adults are advised to familiarize
themselves with the operation and
location of the inside release handle so
that all children can be told about it in an
appropriate way, keeping in mind that
most vehicles don't have such handles.
WARNING
Close the trunk lid, lock the rear
seatbacks and do not allow children to
play inside the vehicle:Leaving the trunk lid open or leaving
children in the vehicle with the keys is
dangerous. Children could open the
trunk lid and climb inside resulting in
possible injury or death from heat
exposure.
Always keep the car from being a

NOTEWhen the power window lock switch is in the
locked position, the light on front passenger's
power window switch turns off. The light may
be difficult to see depending on the
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,
or even neck could be caught by the
window and result in serious injury
or even death.
This warning applies especially to
children.
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.
