window lock switch on the driver's door is
in the lock or unlocked position.

hot car, Mazda has introduced a way to
open the two front windows and the
moonroof as you approach the vehicle to
get the air moving before you get in.

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.

CAUTION
If the check fuel cap warning light
illuminates, the fuel-filler cap may
not be properly installed. If the
warning light illuminates, park your
vehicle safely off the right-of-way,
remove the fuel-filler cap and
reinstall it correctly. After the cap has
been correctly installed, the fuel cap
warning light may continue to
illuminate until a number of driving
cycles have been completed. A drive
cycle consists of starting the engine
(after four or more hours with the
engine off) and driving the vehicle on
city and highway roads.
Continuing to drive with the check
fuel cap warning light illuminated
could cause the check engine light to
illuminate as well.
NOTE
The removed cap can be attached to the inner
side of the lid during refueling to prevent fuel
on the cap from dripping onto the vehicle.

Power moonroof re-set procedure
If the battery had been disconnected
during vehicle maintenance or for other
reasons, the moonroof may not fully open
or close. The moonroof's jam-safe
function does not function while the
moonroof is re-setting. Carry out the
following procedure to resume operation:
1. Switch the ignition ON.
2. Press the tilt switch, to partially tilt
open the rear of the moonroof.
NOTE
If the re-set procedure is performed while the
moonroof is in the slide position (partially
open) it closes before the rear tilts opens.
3. Repeat the procedure in Step 2. The rear of the moonroof tilts open to the
fully open position, then closes a little.
qEngine-off Moonroof Operation
The moonroof can be operated for about
40 seconds after the ignition is switched
from ON to the ACC or LOCK with all
doors closed. If any door is opened, the
moonroof will be inoperable.
NOTE
For engine-off operation of the moonroof, the
switch must be pushed firmly throughout
moonroof closure because the auto-closing
function will be inoperable.
qOpening/Closing the Moonroof
from the Outside
The moonroof can be opened or closed
from outside the vehicle after the doors
are closed.
Refer to Opening/Closing the Power
Windows and the Moonroof from the
Outside on page 3-41.
qJam-safe Moonroof
If a person's hands, head or an object
blocks the moonroof during closing
operation, the moonroof will stop and
open halfway.
WARNING
Make sure nothing blocks the
moonroof just before it reaches the
fully closed position:
Blocking the moonroof just before it
reaches the closed position is
dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function
cannot prevent the moonroof from
stopping. If fingers are caught,
serious injuries could occur.
