front seats (if side air bags are
equipped), front dashboard, the
steering wheel or parts on the front

contain essential air bag components.
The air bag could accidentally activate
and cause serious injuries. Always
have an Authorized Mazda Dealer
remove these parts.

Improper disposal of an air bag or a
vehicle with live air bags in it can be
extremely dangerous. Unless all safety
procedures are followed, injury can
result. Ask an Authorized Mazda
Dealer how to safely dispose of an air
bag or how to scrap an air bag
equipped vehicle.

Dividing the luggage compartmentfrom the rear seat
WARNING
Using the Luggage Compartment Netto Secure Cargo:
Using the luggage compartment net to
secure objects in the luggage
compartment or the rear seat area is
dangerous. The luggage compartment
net is not designed to hold objects in
place that could fly forward in a
frontal collision. Unsecured objects
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:
1. Install the retainer bar in the luggage compartment. 2. Slowly pull out the net in the upward
direction, insert the left and right net
anchors into the ceiling retainers, and
slide them to the position indicated in
the figure.

you lose control of the net, it will
automatically roll up in an uncontrolled
manner and could cause injury.

(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.

Slide the illuminated inside trunk release
slide lever in the direction of the arrow.
The lever is made of material that will
glow for hours in the darkness of the
trunk following a brief exposure to
ambient light.

Power Windows
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for the power windows to
operate.
WARNING
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.
CAUTION
To prevent burning out the fuse and
damaging the power window system,
don't open or close more than three
windows at once.
