If Trouble Arises
When the Roof Cannot be Closed
N O T E
y This procedure is for manually closing the roof as an emergency measure. After closing
the roof manually, electric operation is not possible until the system is restored by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
y Using a À ashlight will facilitate the procedure.
Manual closing
Before closing manually
WARNING
Verify that the ignition is switched off
before manually operating the roof:
Manually closing the roof with the
ignition not switched off is dangerous
as the motors could turn on suddenly
and cause injury resulting from
hands or fi ngers being pinched in the
mechanism.
1. Park on a hard, level surface off the
right-of-way and ¿ rmly set the parking
brake.
2. Put a vehicle with an
automatictransmission in Park (P), a
manual transmission in Neutral.
3. Switch the ignition off while depressing
the brake pedal.
4. Turn on the hazard warning À asher if it
is needed.
Tool preparation
Take out the ¿ ve tools stored in the seat
side box.
Refer to Seat Side Box on page 5-138 .

Opening the rear roof
CAUTION
¾ When turning the bolt, cover the front
roof using a cloth. The front roof may
be damaged if the L-shaped hexagonal
wrench contacts it.
¾ Because the clearance with the stored
front roof is narrow, be careful not to let
the L-shape hexagonal wrench contact
the roof when turning the bolt.
N O T E
Moving the seats as far forward as
possible and folding the seatbacks forward
will facilitate the procedure.

Event Data Recorder
Event Data Recorder (U.S.A. and Canada)
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment
or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
y How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
y Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
y How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
y How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes
and injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash or near crash-like situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle
or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access
to the vehicle or the EDR.
Mazda will not disclose any of the data recorded in an EDR to a third party unless:
y A written agreement from the vehicle owner or the lessee is obtained
y Of ¿ cially requested by the police or other law enforcement authorities
y Used as a defense for Mazda in a law suit, claim, or arbitration
y Ordered by a judge or court
However, if necessary Mazda will:
y Use the data for research on Mazda vehicle performance, including safety.
y Disclose the data or the summarized data to a third party for research purposes without
disclosing vehicle or owner identi ¿ cation information.

Recording of Vehicle Data
Recording of Vehicle Data
This vehicle is equipped with a computer which records the following main vehicle data
related to vehicle controls, operation, and other driving conditions.
Recorded data
y Vehicle conditions such as engine speed and vehicle speed
y Driving operation conditions such as accelerator and brake pedals, and information related
to the environmental circumstances while the vehicle is driven
y Malfunction diagnosis information from each on-vehicle computer
y Information related to controls of other on-vehicle computers
N O T E
The recorded data may vary depending on the vehicle grade and optional equipment. Voice
and images are not recorded.
Data handling
Mazda and its subcontracting parties may obtain and use the recorded data for vehicle
malfunction diagnosis, research and development, and quality improvement.
Mazda will not disclose or provide any of the obtained data to a third party unless:
y An agreement from the vehicle owner (agreements from lessor and lessee for leased
vehicle) is obtained
y Of ¿ cially requested by the police or other law enforcement authorities
y For statistical processing by a research institution after processing the data so that
identi ¿ cation of the owner or the vehicle is impossible

Glossary of Terms
Tire Placard: A label indicating the OE tire sizes, recommended in À ation pressure, and the
maximum weight the vehicle can carry.
Tire Identi ¿ cation Number (TIN): A number on the sidewall of each tire providing
information about the tire brand and manufacturing plant, tire size, and date of manufacture.
In À ation Pressure: A measure of the amount of air in a tire.
kPa: Kilopascal, the metric unit for air pressure.
psi: Pounds per square inch, the English unit for air pressure.
B-pillar: The structural member at the side of the vehicle behind the front door.
Original Equipment (OE): Describes components originally equipped on the vehicle.
Vehicle Load Limit: The maximum value of the combination weight of occupants and
cargo.
Bead Area of the Tire: Area of the tire next to the rim.
Sidewall Area of the Tire: Area between the bead area and the tread.
Tread Area of the Tire: Area on the perimeter of the tire that contacts the road when it's
mounted on the vehicle.
Seating capacity means the total allowable number of vehicle occupants. Seating capacity
is described on the tire label.
Production options weight is the combination weight of installed regular production
options weighing over 2.3 kilograms in excess of the standard items which they replace,

Vehicle Loading
WARNING
Do not tow a trailer with this vehicle:
Towing a trailer with this vehicle is dangerous because it has not been designed to tow a
trailer and doing so will aff ect the drive system which could result in vehicle damage.
This section will guide you in the proper loading of your vehicle, to keep your loaded
vehicle weight within its design rating capability. Properly loading your vehicle will provide
maximum return of vehicle design performance. Before loading your vehicle, familiarize
yourself with the following terms for determining your vehicle's weight ratings, from the
vehicle's Safety Certi ¿ cation Label and Tire and Load Information Label:
WARNING
Overloaded Vehicle:
Overloading a vehicle is dangerous. The results of overloading can have serious
consequences in terms of passenger safety. Too much weight on a vehicle's suspension
system can cause spring or shock absorber failure, brake failure, handling or steering
problems, irregular tire wear, tire failure or other damage.
Overloading makes a vehicle harder to drive and control. It also increases the distance
required for stopping. In cases of serious overloading, brakes can fail completely,
particularly on steep grades. The load a tire will carry safely is a combination of the size of
the tire, its load range, and corresponding infl ation pressure.
Never overload the vehicle and always observe the vehicle's weight ratings from the
vehicle's Safety Certifi cation and Tire and Load Information labels.
