Sunroof*
The sunroof can be opened or closed when
operating the overhead tilt/slide switch at
the front seats.
WA R N I N G
Do not let passengers stand up or extend
part of the body through the open sunroof
while the vehicle is moving:
Extending the head, arms, or other parts of
the body through the sunroof is dangerous.
The head or arms could hit something
while the vehicle is moving. This could
cause serious injury or death.
Never allow children to play with the tilt/
slide switch:
The tilt/slide switch would allow children to
operate the sunroof unintentionally, which
could result in serious injury if a child's
hands, head or neck becomes caught by
the sunroof.
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing the sunroof:
A closing sunroof is dangerous. The hands,
head, or even neck of a person, especially a
child, could be caught in it as it closes,
causing serious injury or even death.
Make sure nothing blocks the sunroof just
before it reaches the fully closed position:
Blocking the sunroof just before it reaches
the closed position is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function cannot
prevent the sunroof from closing. If fingers
are caught, serious injuries could occur.
CAUTION
Do not sit on or put heavy items on the
area where the sunroof opens and closes.
Otherwise, the sunroof could be
damaged.
Do not open or close the sunroof
forcefully during freezing temperatures
or snowfall. Otherwise, the sunroof could
be damaged.
The sunshade does not tilt. To avoid
damaging the sunshade, do not push it
up.
Do not close the sunshade while the
sunroof is opening. Trying to force the
sunshade closed could damage it.
▼ Tilt/Slide Operation
The sunroof can be opened or closed
electrically only when the ignition is
switched ON.
•Before leaving the vehicle or washing
your Mazda, make sure the sunroof 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 sunroof
before operating it to avoid water
penetration which could cause rust and
water damage to your headliner.

Light (Front seat) The seat belt warning light turns on if the
driver or front passenger's seat is occupied
and the seat belt is not fastened with the ig-
nition switched ON.
If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is
unfastened (only when the front passenger's
seat is occupied) and the vehicle is driven at
a speed faster than abo
ut 20 km/h (12 mph),
the warning light flashes. After a short time,

is unfastened after th e warning light turns
on, and the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h
(12 mph), the warning light flashes again.

er's seat may cause the front passenger's
seat belt warning function to operate de-
pending on the weight of the item.
•To allow the front passenger seat weight
sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion on
the front passenger's seat. The sensor may
not function properly because the addi-
tional seat cushion could cause sensor in-
terference.
•If a small child is seated on the front pas-
senger's seat, the warning light may not
operate. Fasten the seat belts.
