NOTElThe two-step down function cannot be
canceled if the procedure is not completed
within the specified times, or the procedure
is changed along the way. To redo the
procedure, first turn the ignition switch to
the LOCK position and proceed from the

lIf you are unable to cancel the function
despite carrying out the cancellation

Restoring the two-step down function

NOTE
If you are unable to restore the function despite
doing the restore procedure, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Jam-safe window
If a person's hands, head or an object
blocks the window during the manual
closing operation or the auto-closing
operation, the window will stop and open
halfway.
WARNING
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 reaches 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
stopping. If fingers are caught,
serious injuries could occur.NOTE
lDepending on driving conditions, a closing
power window could stop and start opening
when the window feels a shock that is
similar to something blocking it.
In the event the jam-safe function activates
and the power window cannot be closed
automatically, pull and hold the switch fully
and the window will close.
lThe jam-safe window function does not
operate until the system is re-initialized.
Engine-off power window operation
The power window can be operated for
about 40 seconds after the ignition switch
is turned from the ON position to the
ACC or LOCK position with all doors
closed. If either front door is opened, the
power window will be inoperable.
NOTE
lFor engine-off operation of the power
window, the switch must be held up firmly
throughout window closure because the
auto-closing function will be inoperable.
lThe two-step down function is inoperable
during engine-off operation.

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 liftgate 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:

closed from outside the vehicle under the
following condition:
lA door or the liftgate is opened.lThe key is inserted into the ignition
switch.

closed.
If the power windows cannot be closed
completely, operate each power window
switch from inside the vehicle. After closing
the windows from outside the vehicle, verify
that they are completely closed.
Opening
Because nobody likes getting into a very
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.
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.
