that are thrown around the inside of
the vehicle could cause injury to
occupants. This is particularly true for
objects stacked above the seatback
level. Never stack objects above the
seatback level. If the luggage
compartment is divided from the rear
seat, pull the luggage compartment
cover over the cargo in the luggage
compartment.
To install the net:

Power Windows
The ignition switch must be in the ON

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

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.

damaging the power window system,
don't open or close more than three
windows at once.

quickly. When removing the fuel cap,
loosen the cap slightly and wait for
any hissing to stop. Then remove it.
Fuel Vapor:
Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be
ignited by sparks or flames causing
serious burns and injuries. Before
refueling, stop the engine, and always
keep sparks and flames away from the
filler neck. Additionally, use of the
incorrect fuel filler cap or not using a
fuel filler cap may result in fuel leak,
which could result in serious burns or
death in an accident.
CAUTION
Always use only a genuine Mazda fuel
cap or an approved equivalent,
available at Authorized Mazda Dealers.
The wrong cap can result in a serious
malfunction of the fuel and emission
control systems. It may also cause the
check engine light in the instrument
cluster to illuminate.
