WARNING
Do not let passengers stand up or

vehicle is moving. This could cause
serious injury or death.

caught in it as it closes, causing
serious injury or even death. NOTE
Before washing your Mazda, make sure the
moonroof is completely closed so that water
does not get inside the cabin area. After
washing your Mazda or after it rains, wipe the
water off the moonroof before operating it to
avoid water penetration which could cause
rust and water damage to your headliner.
