Liftgate/Boot Lid
WARNING
Never allow a person to ride in the
luggage compartment/boot:
Allowing a person to ride in the
luggage compartment/boot is
dangerous. The person in the luggage
compartment/boot could be seriously
injured or killed during sudden braking
or a collision.

Do not drive with the liftgate/boot lid
open:
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle
is dangerous. An open liftgate/boot lid
in a moving vehicle will cause exhaust
gas to be drawn into the cabin. This
gas contains CO (carbon monoxide),
which is colourless, odourless, and
highly poisonous, and it can cause loss
of consciousness and death. Moreover,
an open liftgate/boot lid 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 affect the side or rear ¿ eld of view.
CAUTION

 Before opening the liftgate/boot
lid, remove any snow and ice
accumulation on it. Otherwise, the
liftgate/boot lid could close under the
weight of the snow and ice resulting
in injury.
  Be careful when opening/closing
the liftgate/boot lid during strong
winds. If a strong gust blows against
the liftgate/boot lid, it could close
suddenly resulting in injury.
  Fully open the liftgate/boot lid and
make sure that it stays open. If the
liftgate/boot lid is only opened
partially, it could slam shut by
vibration or wind gusts resulting in
injury.
  When loading or unloading luggage
in the luggage compartment/boot,
turn off the engine. Otherwise, you
could get burned by the heat of the
exhaust gas.
  Be careful not to apply excessive
force to the damper stay on the
liftgate such as by putting your hand

WARNING
Do not place anything on top of the
cover:
Placing luggage or other cargo on top
of the luggage compartment cover is
dangerous. During sudden braking
or a collision, the cargo could become
a projectile that could hit and injure
someone. The vehicle has a light
weight luggage compartment cover to
keep the contents of your luggage area
out of sight; it will not retain heavy
objects that are not tied down in an
accident such as a rollover. Tie down
all heavy objects, whether luggage or
cargo, using the tie down hooks.

Make sure luggage and cargo are
secured before driving:
Not securing cargo while driving
is dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a
collision and cause injury.
CAUTION
Make sure the luggage compartment
cover is ¿ rmly secured. If it is not
¿ rmly secured, it could unexpectedly
disengage resulting in injury. The luggage compartment can be accessed
by opening the liftgate when the straps are
attached to the sides of the liftgate.

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
colourless, odourless, 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 expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer 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.
