NOTEWhen the power window lock switch is in the
locked position, the light on front passenger's
power window switch turns off. The light may
be difficult to see depending on the
surrounding brightness.
qOpening/Closing the Power
Windows from Outside
The front power windows can be opened
or closed from outside the vehicle after
the doors and the hatch/liftgate/trunk lid
are closed.
The front power windows may be
operated when the power window lock
switch on the driver's door is in the lock
or unlocked position.
WARNING
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing a window:
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.
NOTE
The power windows cannot be opened or
closed from outside the vehicle under the
following condition:
lA door or the hatch/liftgate/trunk lid is
opened.
lThe key is inserted into the ignition switch.
Opening
Because nobody likes getting into a very
hot car, Mazda has introduced a way to
open the two front windows as you
approach the vehicle to get the air moving
before you get in.
WARNING
Use the auto-window 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 window
without your knowing, the open
windows are an even bigger
invitation to a thief than leaving the
doors unlocked.
The windows can be opened for
ventilating the cabin before getting in the
vehicle.
With unlock button (Keyless entry
system)
Press once, then press again within 1.5
seconds and hold.
After the doors and the hatch/liftgate/
