CAUTION
¾ Do not drive the vehicle with the roof partially open. The vehicle operation may be aff ected
by the wind and could result in an accident.
¾ Do not perform the procedure in a strong wind as it could cause an unexpected accident.
¾ Two adults are required to perform the procedure, especially when lifting up the front roof.
Do not do it alone so as not to cause injury or vehicle damage.
¾ Some steps in the procedure require using multiple tools at the same time and a certain
level of technical expertise. In addition, holding your body extended over the car can result
in muscle strains so Mazda recommends having the roof checked at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
