Before Driving  
Windows  
Power Windows  
The windows can be opened/closed by operating the power window switches.  
WARNING  
Make sure the opening is clear before closing a window:  
Closing a power window is 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.  
Never allow children to play with power window switches:  
Power window switches that are not locked with the power window lock switch would allow  
children to operate power windows unintentionally, which could result in serious injury if a  
child's hands, head or neck becomes caught by the window.  
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 closing all the way. If  
fingers are caught, serious injuries could occur.  
NOTE  
When driving with only 1 of the rear windows open, your ears might experience a  
resonating sound. However, this does not indicate a problem. The sound can be reduced by  
slightly opening a front window or by changing the size of the rear window opening.  
Opening/Closing Windows  
The window opens while the switch is pressed and it closes while the switch is pulled up  
with the ignition switched ON. Do not open or close 3 or more windows at the same time.

from ON to ACC or off with all doors closed. If any door is opened, the power window  
will stop operating.  
For 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.

window switch, except for the driver's power window switch, turns off. The light may be  
difficult to see depending on the surrounding brightness.

CAUTION  
The moonroof can be opened or closed

Do not sit on or put heavy items on the  
area where the moonroof opens and  
closes. Otherwise, the moonroof could be  
damaged.

forcefully during freezing temperatures  
or snowfall. Otherwise, the moonroof  
could be damaged.

dangerous. The head or arms could hit  
something while the vehicle is moving. This  
could cause serious injury or death.  
Do not close the sunshade while the  
moonroof is opening. Trying to force the  
sunshade closed could damage it.  
Tilt/Slide Operation  
Never allow children to play with the tilt/  
slide switch:  
The tilt/slide switch would allow children to  
operate the moonroof unintentionally,  
which could result in serious injury if a  
child's hands, head or neck becomes  
caught by the moonroof.  
The moonroof can be opened or closed  
electrically only when the ignition is  
switched ON.  
Before leaving the vehicle or washing  
your Mazda, make sure the moonroof is  
completely closed so that water does not  
get inside the cabin area.  
Make sure the opening is clear before  
closing the moonroof:  
After washing your Mazda or after it  
rains, wipe the water off the moonroof  
before operating it to avoid water  
penetration which could cause rust and  
water damage to your headliner.  
A closing moonroof is dangerous. The  
hands, head, or even neck of a person,  
especially a child, could be caught in it as it  
closes, causing serious injury or even death.  
Tilt/Slide switch  
Make sure nothing blocks the moonroof  
just before it reaches the fully closed  
position:  
Blocking the moonroof just before it  
reaches the closed position is dangerous.  
In this case, the jam-safe function cannot  
prevent the moonroof from closing. If  
fingers are caught, serious injuries could  
occur.
