The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for the power windows to
operate.

Operating the Driver’s Side
Power Window
To open the window to the desired
position, lightly hold down the switch.
To close the window to the desired
position, lightly pull up the switch.
Auto-opening
To fully open the window automatically,
push the switch completely down.
To stop the window partway, lightly pull
up the switch and then release it.
Engine-off power window operation
The power window can be operated about
40 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned from the ON position to the ACC,
LOCK position or key out of ignition with
all doors closed. If any front door is
opened, the power window will be
inoperable.
Power Windows
Closing Power Windows:Closing power windows are
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. Make sure the opening is
clear before closing a window.
Children and Power Windows:
Leaving the power window switches
unlocked while children are in the
vehicle is dangerous. 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. Always lock all
passenger power windows with the
power window lock switch on the
driver’s side while children are in the
vehicle, and never allow children to
play with power window switches.
To prevent burning out the fuse and
damaging the power window system,
don’t open or close more than two
windows at once.

Your vehicle’s electrical system is
protected by fuses.
If any lights, accessories, or controls don’t
work, inspect the appropriate circuit
protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside
element will be melted.
If the same fuse blows again, avoid using
that system and consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

Fuse Replacement
If the electrical system doesn’t work, first
inspect fuses on the vehicle’s left side.
1. Turn off the ignition switch and other
switches.
2. Open the fuse panel cover.3. Pull the fuse straight out with the fuse
puller provided on the fuse block.
4. Inspect it and replace if it’s blown.
5. Push in a new fuse of the same rating,
and make sure it fits tightly. If it
doesn’t, have an Authorized Mazda
Dealer install it.
If you have no spare fuses, borrow one
of the same rating from a circuit not
essential to vehicle operation, such as
the SPARE circuit.
