WARNING
Always take all children and pets with
you or leave a responsible person with
them: Leaving a child or a pet unattended in
a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle
can become high enough to cause
brain damage or even death.

Do not leave the key in your vehicle with
children and keep them in a place where
your children will not fi nd or play with
them: Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed.

Keep all doors locked when driving: Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle
are dangerous. Passengers can fall out
if a door is accidentally opened and
can more easily be thrown out in an
accident.

Always close all the windows and
moonroof, lock the doors and the
liftgate and take the key with you when
leaving your vehicle unattended: Leaving your vehicle unlocked is
dangerous as children could lock
themselves in a hot vehicle, which
could result in death. Also, a vehicle left
unlocked becomes an easy target for
thieves and intruders.
After closing the doors and the liftgate,
always verify that they are securely
closed:
Doors and the liftgate not securely
closed are dangerous, if the vehicle
is driven with a door and the liftgate
not securely closed, the door and the
liftgate could open unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.

Always confi rm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door and the
liftgate: Suddenly opening a door and the
liftgate is dangerous. A passing vehicle
or a pedestrian could be hit and cause
an accident.

CAUTION
Always confi rm the conditions around
the vehicle before opening/closing
the doors and the liftgate and use
caution during strong winds or when
parked on an incline. Not being aware
of the conditions around the vehicle
is dangerous because fi ngers could
get caught in the door and the liftgate
or a passing pedestrian could be hit,
resulting in an unexpected accident or
injury.

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
 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.
 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.
 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.
 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.
 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
 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
