Some steps in the procedure require using mult iple tools at the same time and a certain
level of technical expertise. In addition, hold ing your body extended over the car can result
in muscle strains so Mazda recommends having the roof checked at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
NOTE
This procedure is for manually closing the roof as an emergency measure. After closing
the roof manually, electric operation is not possible until the system is restored by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Using a flashlight will facilitate the procedure.
▼ Manual closing
Before closing manually
WA R N I N G
Verify that the ignition is switched off
before manually operating the roof:
Manually closing the roof with the ignition
not switched
off is dangerous as the
motors could turn on suddenly and cause
injury resulting from hands or fingers being
pinched in the mechanism.
1. Park on a hard, le vel surface off the
right-of-way and firm ly set the parking
brake.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatictransmission in Park (P), a
manual transmiss ion in Neutral.
3. Switch the ignition off while depressing the brake pedal.
4. Turn on the hazard w arning flasher if it
is needed.
Tool preparation

side box.

CAUTION
When turning the bolt, cover the front
roof using a cloth. The front roof may be
damaged if the L-shaped hexagonal
wrench contacts it.
 Because the clearance with the stored
front roof is narrow, be careful not to let
the L-shape hexagonal wrench contact
the roof when turning the bolt.
