NOTE
When the power window lock switch is in the
locked position, the light on front passenger's
power window switch turns off. The light may
be difficult to see depending on the
surrounding brightness.
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:
Closing power windows are
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.NOTE
lThe power windows cannot be opened or
closed from outside the vehicle under the
following condition:
lA door or the liftgate is opened.lThe key is inserted into the ignition
switch.
l(With advanced key)
The start knob is in any position except
LOCK.
lThe power windows may not close
completely. Make sure all the windows are
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.

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.
qFuel-Filler Lid
To open, pull up the remote fuel-filler lid
release.

times), it may indicate a different
problem. Contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
Hood
WARNING
Always check that the hood is closed
and securely locked:

which could result in a serious
accident.

flashing, turn the ignition switch to the
ACC or LOCK position and wait for a
while, then restart the engine. If it doesn't
start after 3 or more tries, contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
