Dividing the luggage compartmentfrom the front seats
WARNING
Do not use the luggage compartment
net to secure objects in the luggage
compartment or the rear seat area: Using the luggage compartment net
to secure objects in the luggage
compartment or the rear seat area is
dangerous. The luggage
compartment net is not designed to
hold objects in place that could fly
forward in a frontal collision.
Unsecured objects that are thrown
around the inside of the vehicle could
cause injury to occupants. This is
particularly true for objects stacked
above the seatback level. Never stack
objects above the seatback level. If
the luggage compartment is divided
from the rear seat, pull the luggage
compartment cover over the cargo in
the luggage compartment.
Make sure luggage and cargo is
secured before driving: Not securing cargo while driving is
dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a
collision and cause injury.
CAUTION
Moving the rear seatbacks with the
retainer bar mounted could scratch
the interior of the vehicle. The
retainer bar must be removed from
the back of the seatbacks before
raising the seatbacks.
To install the net:
1. Fold down the rear seatback (page 2-11).

WARNING
Make sure the opening is clear before

Closing power windows are
dangerous. A person's hands, head,

or even death.
This warning applies especially to

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

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.

Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
WARNING
When removing the fuel cap, loosen the
cap slightly and wait for any hissing to
stop. Then remove it:Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can
burn skin and eyes and cause illness
if ingested. Fuel spray is released
when there is pressure in the fuel
tank and the fuel cap is removed too
quickly.
Before refueling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and flames away
from the filler neck: Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be
ignited by sparks or flames causing
serious burns and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel
filler cap or not using a fuel filler cap
may result in fuel leak, which could
result in serious burns or death in an
accident.
CAUTION
Always use only a genuine Mazda
fuel cap or an approved equivalent,
available at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer. The wrong cap can result in a
serious malfunction of the fuel and
emission control systems. It may also
cause the check engine light in the
instrument cluster to illuminate.
