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 remote auto-window and the
auto-moonroof 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 and
moonroof without your knowing, the
open windows and moonroof are an
even bigger invitation to a thief than
leaving the doors unlocked.
The windows and moonroof can be
opened for ventilating the cabin before
getting in the vehicle.With unlock button (Keyless entry
system)
Press the unlock button on the transmitter
once, then press again within 1.5 seconds
and hold.
After the doors and the liftgate are
unlocked, the two front windows and the
moonroof open while the unlock button is
pressed.
To stop the windows and the moonroof
while opening, release the button.
If the operation is performed from the
beginning again, the windows and the
