Door Locks
WA R N I N G
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 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.
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 the trunk lid
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 and the trunk lid,
always verify that they are securely closed:
Doors and the trunk lid not securely closed
are dangerous, if the vehicle is driven with
a door and the trunk lid not securely closed,
the door and the tr unk lid could open
unexpectedly resulting in an accident.
Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door and the
trunk lid:
Suddenly opening a door and the trunk lid
is dangerous. A passing vehicle or a
pedestrian could be hit and cause an
accident.
CAUTION
 Always confirm the conditions around
the vehicle before opening/closing the
doors and the trunk lid and use caution
during strong winds or when parked on
an incline. Not being aware of the
conditions around the vehicle is
dangerous because fingers could get
caught in the door and the trunk lid or a
passing pedestrian could be hit, resulting
in an unexpected accident or injury.
NOTE
Always stop the engine and lock the
doors. In addition, to prevent theft of
valuables, do not leave them inside the
cabin.
If the key is left in the following areas
and you leave the vehicle, the doors may
be locked depending on the radio wave
conditions even if th e key is left in the
vehicle.

Inside Trunk ReleaseLever
*
Your vehicle is equipped with an inside
trunk release lever 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 locki ng 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 trunk release lever so that all
children can be told about it in an
appropriate way, keeping in mind that
most vehicles do not have such levers.
WA R N I N G
Close the trunk lid, be sure the seat backs
are latched 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 tempting
place to play by latching the rear seats,
doors and the trunk, and keeping the keys
where children can not play with them:
Leaving children or animals unattended in
a parked vehicle is dangerous. Babies left
sleeping and children who lock themselves
in cars or trunks can die very quickly from
heat prostration. Do not leave your
children or pets alone in a car at any time.
Do not leave the car, the rear folding seats
or the trunk unlocked.
▼ Opening the Trunk Lid from the
Inside
Slide the inside trunk release lever in the
direction of the arrow. The lever is made
of material that will
glow for hours in the
darkness of the trunk following a brief
exposure to ambient light.

The inside trunk release lever is located on
the inside of the trunk lid.

Power Windows
The windows can be opened/closed by operating the power window switches.
WA R N I N G
Make sure the opening is clear before closing a window:
Closing a power window is 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.
Never allow children to play with power window switches:
Power window switches that are not locked wi th 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.
Make sure nothing blocks the window just before it reaches the fully closed position or while
fully holding up the power window switch:
Blocking the power window just before it reac hes the fully closed position or while fully
holding up the power window switch is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function cannot prevent the window from closing all the way. If
fingers are caught, seriou s injuries could occur.
NOTE
When driving with only 1 of the rear windows open, your ears might experience a
resonating sound. However, this does not indicate a problem. The sound can be reduced by
slightly opening a front window or by ch anging the size of the rear window opening.

The moonroof can be opened or closed
when operating the overhead tilt/slide
switch at the front seats.
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 moonroof is
dangerous. The head or arms could hit
something while the vehicle is moving. This
could cause serious injury or death.
Never allow children to play with the tilt/
slide switch:
The tilt/slide switch would allow children to
operate the moonroof unintentionally,
which could result in serious injury if a
child's hands, head or neck becomes
caught by the moonroof.
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.
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 closing. If
fingers are caught, serious injuries could
occur.
CAUTION
Do not sit on or put heavy items on the
area where the moonroof opens and
closes. Otherwise, the moonroof could be
damaged.
 Do not open or close the moonroof
forcefully during freezing temperatures
or snowfall. Otherwise, the moonroof
could be damaged.
 The sunshade does not tilt. To avoid
damaging the sunshade, do not push it
up.
 Do not close the sunshade while the
moonroof is opening. Trying to force the
sunshade closed could damage it.
▼ Tilt/Slide Operation
The moonroof can be opened or closed
electrically only when the ignition is
switched ON.
Before leaving the vehicle or 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 operating it to avoid water
penetration which could cause rust and
water damage to your headliner.
