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.

•Always keep a spare key in case one is
lost. If a key is lost, consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as
possible.
•If you lose a key, an Authorised Mazda
Repairer will reset the electronic codes
of your remaining keys and immobilizer
system. Bring all the remaining keys to
an Authorised Mazda Repairer to reset.
Starting the vehicle with a key that has
not been reset is not possible.
▼Operation
NOTE
•The engine may not start and security
indicator light may illuminate or flash if
the key is placed in an area where it is
difficult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the instrument panel
or in the glove comp
artment. Move the
key to a location within the signal
range, switch the ignition off, and then
restart the engine.
•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 indica tor light in the
instrument cluster flashes 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
flashing, 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 d oes not start after 3
or more tries, contact an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
NOTE
•If the security indicator light flashes
continuously while you are driving, do
not shut off the engine. Go to an
Authorised Mazda Repairer and have it
checked. If the engine is shut off while
the indicator light is flashing, you will
not be able to restart it.
•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 Authorised Mazda
Repairer so that they can be
programmed.

Theft-Deterrent System*
If the theft-deterrent system detects an
inappropriate entry in to the vehicle or the
intrusion sensor detects movement in the
vehicle which could result in the vehicle
(with the intrusion sensor) or its contents
being stolen, the alarm alerts the
surrounding area of an abnormality by
sounding the siren/horn and flashing the
hazard warning lights.

The system will not function unless it's
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, follow the arming procedure
correctly.
Intrusion sensor
*
The intrusion s ensor uses ultrasonic waves
to detect movement inside the vehicle and
to raise an alert of an intrusion into the
vehicle.

The intrusion s ensor detects certain kinds
of movement inside the vehicle, however,
it may also respond to phenomenon
outside the vehicle such as vibrations, loud
noise, wind, and air currents.
CAUTION
In order for the intrusion sensor to operate
appropriately, be aware of the following:
 Do not hang clothing or objects from a
head restraint or a coat hook.
 Return the extension sunvisors to their
original positions.
 Do not blind the intrusion sensor by
covering it or placing objects over it.
 Do not allow the intrusion sensor to get
soiled or wipe it with a liquid.
Do not shock or cause an impact to the
intrusion sensor or the intrusion sensor
bezel.
 Do not install seats that are not Mazda
genuine products.
 To prevent obstruction of intrusion
sensor, do not place objects or cargo
near the intrusion sensor that are higher
than the head restraints.

Rocking the Vehicle
WA R N I N G
Do not spin the wheels at high speed, and
do not allow anyone to stand behind a
wheel when pushing the vehicle:
When the vehicle is stuck, spinning the
wheels at high speed is dangerous. The
spinning tyre could overheat and explode.
This could cause serious injuries.
CAUTION
Too much rocking may cause engine
overheating, transaxle failure, and tyre
damage.
If you must rock the vehicle to free it from
snow, sand or mud, depress the accelerator
slightly and slowly move the shift lever/
selector lever from 1 (D) to R.
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tyre
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper leads, and a small bag of
sand or salt.
Ask an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer to check the
following:
•Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the
radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on page 6-29.
•Inspect the ba ttery and its leads. Cold
reduces battery capacity.
•Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that the
vehicle will be driven in (page 6-25).
•Inspect the ignition system for damage
and loose connections.
•Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze―but do not use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid (page
6-32).
NOTE
•Remove snow before driving. Snow left
on the windscreen is dangerous as it
could obstruct vision.
•Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice or
frozen snow on the mirror glass and
windscreen.
•Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows and
mirrors as it could result in the glass
cracking.
