If Trouble Arises
When the Roof Cannot be Closed
CAUTION
Do not drive the vehicle with the roof partially open. The vehicle operation may be
affected by the wind and could result in an accident.
Do not perform the procedure in a strong wind as it could cause an unexpected
accident.
Two adults are required to perform the procedure, especially when lifting up the front
roof. Do not do it alone so as not to cause injury or vehicle damage.
Some steps in the procedure require using multiple tools at the same time and a
certain level of technical expertise. In addition, holding your body extended over the
car can result in muscle strains so Mazda recommends having the roof checked at an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
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 Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Using a À ashlight will facilitate the procedure.
