qEmission Control System
Your vehicle is equipped with an emission control system (the catalytic converter is part of
this system) that enables your vehicle to comply with existing exhaust emissions
requirements.
WARNING
Never park over or near anything flammable:
Parking over or near anything flammable, such as dry grass, is dangerous. Even with
the engine turned off, the exhaust system remains very hot after normal use and
could ignite anything flammable. A resulting fire could cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
Ignoring the following precautions could cause lead to accumulate on the catalyst
inside the converter or cause the converter to get very hot. Either condition will
damage the converter and cause poor performance.
ØUSE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
ØDo not drive your Mazda with any sign of engine malfunction.
ØDo not coast with the ignition switched off.
ØDo not descend steep grades in gear with the ignition switched off.
ØDo not operate the engine at high idle for more than 2 minutes.
ØDo not tamper with the emission control system. All inspections and adjustments
must be made by a qualified technician.
ØDo not push-start or pull-start your vehicle.
NOTE
lUnder U.S. federal law, any modification to the original-equipment emission control system before
the first sale and registration of a vehicle is subject to penalties. In some states, such modification
made on a used vehicle is also subject to penalties.
lWhile the engine is off, the sound of a valve opening and closing can be heard at the rear of the
right side of the vehicle, however this does not indicate an abnormality. Your vehicle has a self-
checking device and it operates while the engine is off.

Power Windows
The ignition must be switched ON for the
power windows to operate.
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.
Never allow children to play with
power window switches:
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.
CAUTION
To prevent burning out the fuse and
damaging the power window system,
do not open or close more than three
windows at once.
NOTE
A power window may no longer open/close if
you continue to press the switch after fully
opening/closing the power window. If the
power window does not open/close, wait a
moment and then operate the switch again.
qOperating the Power Windows
NOTElEach passenger window can be operated
with each door switch when the power
window lock switch on the driver's door is
in the unlocked position (page 3-35).
lEach passenger window can also be
operated using the master control switches
on the driver's door.

window will not fully open and close
automatically.
Resetting of the automatic function can be
performed using the master control
switches or each passenger door switch.

each passenger window can be fully
opened or closed automatically using the
master control switches.
Jam-safe window
If a person's hands, head or an object
blocks the window during the manual
closing operation or the auto-closing
operation, the window will stop and open
halfway.
WARNING
Make sure nothing blocks the window
just before it reaches the fully closed
position or while fully holding up the
power window switch:
Blocking the power window just
before it reaches the fully closed
position or while fully holding up the
power window switch is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function
cannot prevent the window from
closing all the way. If fingers are
caught, serious injuries could occur.
