Sunroof*
The sunroof can be opened or closed when
operating the overhead tilt/slide switch at
the front seats.
WA R N I N G
Do not let passengers stand up or extend
part of the body through the open sunroof
while the vehicle is moving:
Extending the head, arms, or other parts of
the body through the sunroof 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 sunroof unintentionally, which
could result in serious injury if a child's
hands, head or neck becomes caught by
the sunroof.
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing the sunroof:
A closing sunroof 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 sunroof just
before it reaches the fully closed position:
Blocking the sunroof just before it reaches
the closed position is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function cannot
prevent the sunroof from closing. If fingers
are caught, serious injuries could occur.
CAUTION
 Do not sit on or put heavy items on the
area where the sunroof opens and closes.
Otherwise, the sunroof could be
damaged.
 Do not open or close the sunroof
forcefully during freezing temperatures
or snowfall. Otherwise, the sunroof 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
sunroof is opening. Trying to force the
sunshade closed could damage it.
▼ Tilt/Slide Operation
The sunroof can be opened or closed
electrically only when the ignition is
switched ON.
•Before leaving the vehicle or washing
your Mazda, make sure the sunroof 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 sunroof
before operating it to avoid water
penetration which could cause rust and
water damage to your headliner.

Running-In
No special running-in is necessary, but a
few precautions in the first 1,000 km (600
miles) may add to the performance,
economy, and life of the vehicle.
•Do not race the engine.
•Do not maintain one constant speed,
either slow or fast, for a long period of
time.
•Do not drive constantly at full-throttle or
high engine rpm for extended periods of
time.
•Avoid unnecessary hard stops.
•Avoid full-throttle starts.
•Do not tow a trailer.
Saving Fuel and Protection of the Environment
How you operate your Mazda determines
how far it will travel on a tank of fuel. Use
these suggestions to help save fuel and
reduce CO
2.
•Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine
runs smoothly, begin driving.
•Avoid fast starts.
•Drive at lower speeds.
•Anticipate when to apply the brakes
(avoid sudden braking).
•Follow the maintenance schedule (page
6-3) and have an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer perform inspections and
servicing.
•Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
•Slow down on rough roads.
•Keep the tyres properly inflated.
•Do not carry unnecessary weight.
•Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal
while driving.
•Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
•Keep windows closed at high speeds.
•Slow down when driving in crosswinds
and headwinds.
WA R N I N G
Never stop the engine when going down a
hill:
Stopping the engine when going down a
hill is dangerous. This causes the loss of
power steering and power brake control,
and may cause damage to the drivetrain.
Any loss of steering or braking control
could cause an accident.

Rocking the Vehicle
WA R N I N G
Do not spin the wheels at high speed, and
do not allow anyone to stand behind a
wheel when pushing the vehicle:
When the vehicle is stuck, spinning the
wheels at high speed is dangerous. The
spinning tyre could overheat and explode.
This could cause serious injuries.
CAUTION
Too much rocking may cause engine
overheating, transaxle failure, and tyre
damage.
If you must rock the vehicle to free it from
snow, sand or mud, depress the accelerator
slightly and slowly move the shift lever/
selector lever from 1 (D) to R.
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tyre
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper leads, and a small bag of
sand or salt.
Ask an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer to check the
following:
•Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the
radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on page 6-29.
•Inspect the ba ttery and its leads. Cold
reduces battery capacity.
•Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that the
vehicle will be driven in (page 6-25).
•Inspect the ignition system for damage
and loose connections.
•Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze―but do not use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid (page
6-32).
NOTE
•Remove snow before driving. Snow left
on the windscreen is dangerous as it
could obstruct vision.
•Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice or
frozen snow on the mirror glass and
windscreen.
•Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows and
mirrors as it could result in the glass
cracking.
