WARNING
!
Open Trunk and Exhaust Gas:Exhaust gas in the cabin of a
vehicle is dangerous. This gas
contains CO (carbon monoxide),
which is colorless, odorless, and
highly poisonous. If inhaled, it
can cause loss of consciousness
and death. Because exhaust gas
can get into the cabin through an
open trunk, keep the trunk closed
when driving.

In some situations you may want to
prevent the trunk from being opened
with the remote trunk lid release.
If you must leave your Mazda with
another person, such as a parking
attendant, protect valuables in the
trunk by locking the rear seat backs
and trunk. Give the other person only
the secondary key, which does not
open the trunk.

Trunk Release HandleYour vehicle is equipped with a trunk
release handle that provides a means
of escape for children and adults in the
event they become locked inside the
trunk.
No matter how careful adults might be
with keys and locking their cars,
parents should be aware that children
may be tempted to play around
vehicles and use the trunk as a hiding
place.
Adults are advised to familiarize
themselves with the operation and
location of the release handle so that
all children can be told about it in an
appropriate way, keeping in mind that
most vehicles don’t have such handles.
WARNING
!
Open Trunk Lid and Children:Leaving the trunk lid open or
leaving children in the vehicle
with the keys is dangerous.
Children could open the trunk lid
and climb inside resulting in
possible injury or death from heat
exposure. Close the trunk lid, lock
the rear seatbacks and do not
allow children to play inside the
vehicle.
94S060–004To open the trunk lid from the inside,
pull the illuminated ‘‘ T” shaped
handle. The handle is made of
material that will glow for hours in the
darkness of the trunk following a brief
exposure to ambient light.

WARNING
!
Unattended Children and Pets:Leaving children or animals
unattended in a parked vehicle is
dangerous. Babies left sleeping
and kids who lock themselves in
cars or trunks can die very
quickly from heat prostration.
Don’ t leave your children or pets
alone in a car at any time. Don’ t
leave the car, the rear folding
seats or the trunk unlocked.
Always keep the car from being a
tempting place to play by locking
doors, trunk and rear seats and
keeping the keys where children
won’ t play with them.
