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.

beep sound is heard and the liftgate stops.
Then, it reverses when any of the switches
(buttons) are pressed again.
Changing the power liftgate fully open
position
The power liftgate fully-open position can
be changed according to the height of a
garage.
When changing the position
1. Stop the liftgate at the desired position.
2. Press the power liftgate close switch
for about three seconds.
A beep sound is activated two times to
indicate that the position change has
been completed.
NOTE

a person or an object in the liftgate's
path, the liftgate will move in the reverse
direction automatically and stops.
WARNING
Always check the area around the
power liftgate before opening/closing it:
Not checking for occupants and
objects around the power liftgate
before opening/closing it is dangerous.
The jam-safe equipment is designed
to prevent jamming in the event an
obstruction is in the liftgate's path. The
system may not detect certain objects
obstructing the liftgate depending
on the way they are positioned and
their shape. However, if the jam-safe
function detects an obstruction and
moves the liftgate in the reverse
direction, an occupant in the liftgate's
path could be seriously injured.

Doors and Locks
CAUTION
Sensors are installed on both ends of
the power liftgate. Be careful not to
allow the sensors to be scratched or
damaged by sharp objects, otherwise
the liftgate may no longer open/close

is damaged while the liftgate is closing
automatically, the system will stop.
Sensor
N O T E
The jam-safe equipment does not activate
during easy closure operation when the
power liftgate is between the near-shut
position and fully closed position.
When the power liftgate is moving in the
open/close direction and an obstruction is
detected, the beep sound will be heard and
the liftgate moves in the reverse direction
and stops.
Liftgate easy closure
The Easy Closure system automatically
closes the liftgate completely from the
near-shut position.
This system also operates when the liftgate
is closed manually.
WARNING
When closing a liftgate, always keep
hands and fi ngers away from the
liftgate:
Placing hands or fi ngers around a
liftgate is dangerous because the
liftgate closes automatically from the
near-shut position, which could cause
hands and fi ngers to be pinched and
injured.
N O T E
y If the electric liftgate opener is pressed
while the easy closure function is
operating, the liftgate can be opened.
y If the liftgate is opened/closed
repeatedly in a short period of time, the

Before Driving
Fuel and Emission
Emission Control System
This vehicle is equipped with an emission control system (the catalytic converter is
part of this system) that enables the vehicle to comply with existing exhaust emissions
requirements.
WARNING
Never park over or near anything fl ammable:
Parking over or near anything fl ammable, 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 fl ammable. A resulting fi re 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.
¾ USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
¾ Do not drive your Mazda with any sign of engine malfunction.
¾ Do not coast with the ignition switched off .
¾ Do not descend steep grades in gear with the ignition switched off .
¾ Do not operate the engine at high idle for more than 2 minutes.
¾ Do not tamper with the emission control system. All inspections and adjustments
must be made by a qualifi ed technician.
¾ Do not push-start or pull-start your vehicle.
N O T E
y Under U.S. federal law, any modi ¿ cation to the original-equipment emission control
system before the ¿ rst sale and registration of a vehicle is subject to penalties. In some
states, such modi ¿ cation made on a used vehicle is also subject to penalties.
y While the engine is off, the sound of a valve opening and closing can be heard at the rear
of the vehicle, however this does not indicate an abnormality. The vehicle has a self-
checking device and it operates while the engine is off.

Before Driving
Fuel and Emission
Engine Exhaust (Carbon monoxide)
WARNING
Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle:
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This gas contains carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless, odorless, and poisonous. When inhaled, it can cause loss of consciousness and
death. If you smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle, keep all windows fully open and contact
an Authorized Mazda Dealer immediately.
Do not run the engine when inside an enclosed area:
Running the engine inside an enclosed area, such as a garage, is dangerous. Exhaust
gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could easily enter the cabin. Loss of
consciousness or even death could occur.
Open the windows or adjust the heating or cooling system to draw fresh air when
idling the engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the vehicle is stopped with the windows closed and
the engine running for a long time even in an open area, exhaust gas, which contains
poisonous carbon monoxide, could enter the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death
could occur.
Clear snow from underneath and around your vehicle, particularly the tail pipe, before
starting the engine:
Running the engine when a vehicle is stopped in deep snow is dangerous. The exhaust
pipe could be blocked by the snow, allowing exhaust gas to enter the cabin. Because
exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide, it could cause loss of consciousness or
even death to occupants in the cabin.

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.
