WARNING
Never allow a person to ride in the
luggage compartment:
Allowing a person to ride in the
luggage compartment is dangerous.
The person in the luggage
compartment could be seriously
injured or killed during sudden braking
or a collision.
Do not drive with the liftgate open:
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle
is dangerous. An open liftgate in a
moving vehicle will cause exhaust
gas to be drawn into the cabin. This
gas contains CO (carbon monoxide),
which is colorless, odorless, and highly
poisonous, and it can cause loss of
consciousness and death. Moreover,
an open liftgate could cause occupants
to fall out in an accident.
Do not stack or leave loaded luggage
unsecured in the luggage compartment:
Otherwise, the luggage may move
or collapse, resulting in injury or an
accident. In addition, do not load
luggage higher than the seatbacks. It
may aff ect the side or rear fi eld of view.
CAUTION
¾ Before opening the liftgate, remove
any snow and ice accumulation on it.
Otherwise, the liftgate could close under
the weight of the snow and ice resulting
in injury.
¾ Be careful when opening/closing the
liftgate during strong winds. If a strong
gust blows against the liftgate, it could
close suddenly resulting in injury.
¾ Fully open the liftgate and make sure
that it stays open. If the liftgate is only
opened partially, it could slam shut
by vibration or wind gusts resulting in
injury.
¾ When loading or unloading luggage in
the luggage compartment, turn off the
engine. Otherwise, you could get burned
by the heat of the exhaust gas.
¾ Be careful not to apply excessive force
to the damper stay on the liftgate such
as by putting your hand on the stay.
Otherwise, the damper stay may bend
and aff ect the liftgate operation.
Damper stay
¾ Do not modify or replace the liftgate
damper stay. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer if a liftgate damper stay is
deformed or damaged for reasons such
as a collision or if there is some other
problem.

Doors and Locks
*Some models.
Closing the liftgate
Lower the liftgate slowly using the liftgate
handle, then push the liftgate closed using
both hands.
Do not slam it. Pull up on the liftgate to
make sure it is secure.
Liftgate handle
Power Liftgate *
The power liftgate opens/closes
electrically by operating the switches in
the vehicle or the buttons on the keyless
entry system transmitter.
Refer to Transmitter on page 3-4 .
WARNING
Be sure to watch the power liftgate as it
opens or closes, and make sure that it
closes completely:
Opening or closing the power
liftgate while not watching it move
is dangerous. Because of unseen
obstacles and the jam-safe feature, a
liftgate may not close completely and,
if left unnoticed, could result in serious
injury or death if an occupant were to
fall out of the vehicle.
Always be sure that the area around
the liftgate is clear before activating it.
Always confi rm the safety of the area
around the power liftgate before
operating it electrically.
Not checking the area around the
liftgate for people before operating
it using the power liftgate switch
or the button on the keyless entry
system is dangerous. A person could
become caught between the liftgate
and an obstruction while it is opening
electrically or between the liftgate and
vehicle while it is closing electrically,
resulting in an accident and serious
injury.

Fuel and Emission
Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
WARNING
When removing the fuel-fi ller cap,
loosen the cap slightly and wait for any
hissing to stop, then remove it:
Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can
burn skin and eyes and cause illness
if ingested. Fuel spray is released
when there is pressure in the fuel tank
and the fuel-fi ller cap is removed too
quickly.
Before refueling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and fl ames away
from the fi ller neck:
Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be
ignited by sparks or fl ames causing
serious burns and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel-
fi ller cap or not using a fuel-fi ller cap
may result in a fuel leak, which could
result in serious burns or death in an
accident.
Do not continue refueling after the fuel
pump nozzle shuts off automatically:
Continuing to add fuel after the
fuel pump nozzle has shut off
automatically is dangerous because
overfi lling the fuel tank may cause
fuel overfl ow or leakage. Fuel overfl ow
and leakage could damage the vehicle
and if the fuel ignites it could cause a
fi re and explosion resulting in serious
injury or death.
CAUTION
(U.S.A. and Canada)
Always use only a genuine Mazda fuel-
fi ller cap or an approved equivalent,
available at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer. The wrong cap can result in
a serious malfunction of the fuel and
emission control systems. It may also
cause the check engine light in the
instrument cluster to illuminate.
Fuel-Filler Lid
To open, pull the remote fuel- ¿ ller lid
release.
To close, press the fuel- ¿ ller lid until it
locks securely.

M o d i ¿ cation and Add-On
Equipment
Mazda cannot guarantee the immobilizer
and the theft-deterrent systems' operation
if the system has been modi ¿ ed or if any
add-on equipment has been installed.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the vehicle, do
not modify the system or install any
add-on equipment to the immobilizer
and the theft-deterrent systems or the
vehicle.
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system allows the
engine to start only with a key the system
recognizes.
If someone attempts to start the engine
with an unrecognized key, the engine
will not start, thereby helping to prevent
vehicle theft.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
¾ Radio equipment like this is governed by
laws in the United States.
Changes or modifi cations not expressly
approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
¾ To avoid damage to the key, do not:
¾ Drop the key.
¾ Get the key wet.
¾ Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic fi eld.
¾ Expose the key to high temperatures
on places such as the dashboard or
hood, under direct sunlight.
¾ If the engine does not start with the
correct key, and the security indicator
light keeps illuminating or fl ashing, the
system may have a malfunction. Consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

N O T E
y The keys carry a unique electronic code.
For this reason, and to assure your
safety, obtaining a replacement key
requires some waiting time. They are
only available through an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
y Always keep a spare key in case one
is lost. If a key is lost, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
y If you lose a key, an Authorized Mazda
Dealer will reset the electronic codes of
your remaining keys and immobilizer
system. Bring all the remaining keys to
an Authorized Mazda Dealer to reset.
Starting the vehicle with a key that has
not been reset is not possible.
Operation
N O T E
y The engine may not start and security
indicator light may illuminate or À ash
if the key is placed in an area where it
is dif ¿ cult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the dashboard or in
the glove compartment. Move the key
to a location within the signal range,
switch the ignition off, and then restart
the engine.
y Signals from a TV or radio station, or
from a transceiver or mobile telephone
could interfere with your immobilizer
system. If you are using the proper key
and the engine fails to start, check the
security indicator light.
Arming
The system is armed when the ignition is
switched from ON to off.
The security indicator light in the
instrument cluster À ashes every 2 seconds
until the system is disarmed.
Disarming
The system is disarmed when the
ignition is switched ON with the correct
programmed key. The security indicator
light illuminates for about 3 seconds and
then turns off. If the engine does not start
with the correct key, and the security
indicator light remains illuminated or
À ashing, try the following:
Make sure the key is within the
operational range for signal transmission.
Switch the ignition off, and then restart the
engine. If the engine does not start after
3 or more tries, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
N O T E
y If the security indicator light À ashes
continuously while you are driving,
do not shut off the engine. Go to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer and have it
checked. If the engine is shut off while
the indicator light is À ashing, you will
not be able to restart it.
y Because the electronic codes are
reset when the immobilizer system
is repaired, the keys are needed.
Make sure to bring all the keys to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer so that they
can be programmed.
