is in the ON position.
Tilt switch Slide switch
WARNING
Do not let passengers stand up or
extend part of the body through the
open moonroof while the vehicle is
moving:
Extending the head, arms, or other
parts of the body through the
moonroof is dangerous. The head or
arms could hit something while the
vehicle is moving. This could cause
serious injury or death.
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing the moonroof:
A closing moonroof 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.
NOTE
After washing your Mazda or after a
rain, wipe the water off the moonroof
before operating it to avoid water
penetration which could cause rust and
water damage to your headliner.

Re-initializing
If the battery had been disconnected
during vehicle maintenance or for other
reasons, the moonroof may not fully open
or close. The moonroof's jam-safe
function does not function while the
moonroof is initializing. Carry out the
following procedure to resume operation:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.
2. Push the rear of the tilt switch, to
partially tilt open the rear of the
moonroof.
NOTE
If the re-initialization procedure is
performed while the moonroof is in the
slide position (partially open) it closes
before the rear tilts opens.
3. Repeat the procedure in Step 2. The
rear of the moonroof tilts open to the
fully open position, then closes a little.
qEngine-off Moonroof Operation
The moonroof can be operated for about
40 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned from the ON position to the ACC
or LOCK position with all doors closed. If
any door is opened, the moonroof will be
inoperable.
NOTE
For engine-off operation of the
moonroof, the switch must be pushed
firmly throughout moonroof closure
because the auto-closing function will
be inoperable.
qOpening/Closing the Moonroof
from Outside
The moonroof can be opened or closed
from outside the vehicle after the doors
and the liftgate are closed.
WARNING
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing the moonroof:
Closing the moonroof is dangerous. A
person's hands, head, or even neck
could be caught by the moonroof and
result in serious injury or even death.
This warning applies especially to
children and pets.

the following condition:
lA door or the liftgate is opened.
lThe key is inserted into the ignition
switch.
l(With advanced key)

Auto-Opening
Because nobody likes getting into a very
hot car, we have introduced a way to get a
head start on cooling it, even before you
put your seat belts on and insert your key
in the ignition. If you see the vehicle is in
a secure area, you can open the moonroof
as you approach the vehicle to get the air
moving before you even step into the hot
vehicle.
WARNING
Use the auto-moonroof function only
when you can see the vehicle and it is
in a secure area:
Do not let children play with your
keys. If they open the moonroof
without your knowing, the open
moonroof is an even bigger invitation
to a thief than leaving the doors
unlocked.
The moonroof can be opened for
ventilating the cabin before getting in the
vehicle.With unlock button (Keyless entry
system)
Press the unlock button on the transmitter
and hold it. After the doors and the
liftgate are unlocked, the moonroof fully
opens automatically.

qJam-safe Moonroof
If a person's hands, head or an object
blocks the moonroof during closing
operation, the moonroof will stop and
open halfway.
WARNING
Make sure nothing blocks the
moonroof just before it reaches the
fully closed position:
Blocking the moonroof just before it
reaches the closed position is
dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function
cannot prevent the moonroof from
stopping. If fingers are caught, serious
injuries could occur.
NOTE
lDepending on driving conditions, a
closing moonroof could stop and
start opening when the moonroof
feels a shock that is similar to
something blocking it.
lThe moonroof's jam-safe function
does not function while the
moonroof is initializing.
qSunshade
The sunshade can be opened and closed
by hand.
The sunshade opens automatically when
the moonroof is opened, but must be
closed by hand.

CAUTION
lThe sunshade does not tilt. To avoid
damaging the sunshade, do not push

Operating Tips for Audio
System
WARNING
Do not adjust the audio control
switches while driving the vehicle:
Adjusting the audio while driving the
vehicle is dangerous as it could
distract your attention from the vehicle
operation which could lead to a
serious accident. Always adjust the
audio while the vehicle is stopped.
Even if the audio control switches are
equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking
down at them so that you can keep
your maximum attention on the road
while driving the vehicle.
CAUTION
For the purposes of safe driving, adjust
the audio volume to a level that allows
you to hear sounds outside of the
vehicle.
NOTE
lDo not use the audio for long periods
of time while the engine is off.
Otherwise the battery could go dead.
lIf a cellular phone or CB radio is
used in or near the vehicle, it could
cause noise to occur from the audio
system, however, this does not
indicate that the system has been
damaged.
