The sunroof can be opened or closed
electrically only when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.
Make sure the fuel-filler cap is
tightened securely. The check engine
light comes on when the cap isn
’t
tightened securely. If the light remains
on (even after you have tightened the
cap securely, driven, and restarted the
engine several times), it may indicate a
different problem. Contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
CAUTIONSunroof
Extending the Head or Arms Through the Sunroof:Extending the head, arms, or other
parts of the body through the sunroof
is dangerous. The head or arms could
hit something while the vehicle is
moving. This could cause death or
serious injury. Don ’t let passengers
stand up or extend anything through
the open sunroof while the vehicle is
moving.
Closing the Sunroof:
A closing sunroof 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. Make
sure the opening is clear before
closing the sunroof.
