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.

Roof Rack Adjustment
1. Loosen the screw at both ends of the
rear cross bar, then remove the rear
cross bar covers.
2. Loosen the bolt at both ends of the rear
cross bar, then slide the rear cross bar
to the desired position. •The roof rack is not designed for
direct placement of objects or loads.
A special attachment kit is
necessary. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
•The maximum load on the roof rack
is 75 kg (165 lb). Do not overload.
•Because the bolts and screws may
loosen initially, retighten them.
Periodically check bolts for
looseness approximately every 100
km (62 miles).
•Avoid turning sharply and jamming
on the brakes while the roof rack
installed. Doing so may cause an
accident or the luggage may fall off.
•Road conditions (especially steep
curves or rough roads) and weather
changes (strong cross wind, head
wind, rain, snow, or fog) can change
vehicle operating characteristics
greatly when the vehicle is
equipped with the roof rack. To
cope with these conditions, drive at
a slower speed.
•When driving in a tunnel or parking
garage or any place with height
restrictions with the roof rack
installed, be aware that the roof rack
will raise the total clearance of the
vehicle.
•If the vehicle is washed in an
automatic car wash with the roof
rack installed, the roof rack or the
roof of the vehicle can be damaged.
Before washing the vehicle in an
automatic car wash, always remove
the roof rack.CAUTION
