Moonroof*
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.

NOTE
The keys carry a unique electronic code.
For this reason, and to assure your
safety, obtaining a replacement key
requires some waiting time. They are
only available through an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Always keep a spare key in case one is
lost. If a key is lost, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
If you lose a key, an Authorized Mazda
Dealer, will reset the electronic codes of
your remaining keys and immobilizer
system. Bring all the remaining keys to
the Authorized Mazda Dealer to reset.
Starting the vehicle with a key that has
not been reset is not possible.
▼ Operation
NOTE
The engine may not start and security
indicator light may illuminate or flash if
the key is placed in an area where it is
difficult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the dashboard or in
the glove compartment. Move the key to
a location within the signal range,
switch the ignition off, and then restart
the engine.
Signals from a TV or radio station, or
from a transceiver or mobile telephone
could interfere with your immobilizer
system. If you are using the proper key
and the engine fails to start, check the
security indicator light.
Arming
The system is armed when the ignition is
switched from ON to off.
The security indica
tor light in the
instrument cluster flashes every 2 seconds
until the system is disarmed.

Disarming
The system is disarmed when the ignition
is switched ON with the correct
programmed key. The security indicator
light illuminates for about 3 seconds and
then turns off. If the engine does not start
with the correct key, and the security
indicator light remains illuminated or
flashing, try the following:
Make sure the key is within the
operational range for signal transmission.
Switch the ignition off, and then restart the
engine. If the engine does not start after 3
or more tries, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
If the security indicator light flashes
continuously while you are driving, do
not shut off the engine. Go to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer, and have it
checked. If the engine is shut off while
the indicator light is flashing, you will
not be able to restart it.
Because the electronic codes are reset
when the immobilizer system is repaired,
the keys are needed. Make sure to bring
all the keys to an Authorized Mazda
Dealer, so that they can be programmed.
