Never allow a person to ride in the luggage
compartment/boot:
Allowing a person to ride in the luggage
compartment/boot is dangerous. The
person in the luggage compartment/boot
could be seriously injured or killed during
sudden braking or a collision.
Do not drive with the liftgate/boot lid open:
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle is
dangerous. An open liftgate/boot lid in a
moving vehicle will cause exhaust gas to be
drawn into the cabin. This gas contains CO
(carbon monoxide), which is colourless,
odourless, and highly poisonous, and it can
cause loss of consciousness and death.
Moreover, an open liftgate/boot lid 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 affect the side or
rear field of view.
&$87,21
¾Before opening the liftgate/boot lid,
remove any snow and ice accumulation
on it. Otherwise, the liftgate/boot lid
could close under the weight of the snow
and ice resulting in injury.
¾Be careful when opening/closing the
liftgate/boot lid during strong winds. If a
strong gust blows against the liftgate/
boot lid, it could close suddenly resulting
in injury.
¾Fully open the liftgate/boot lid and make
sure that it stays open. If the liftgate/boot
lid is only opened partially, it could slam
shut by vibration or wind gusts resulting
in injury.
¾When loading or unloading luggage in
the luggage compartment/boot, turn
off
the engine. Otherwise, you could get
burned by the heat of the exhaust gas.
¾Be 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
affect the liftgate operation.
Damper stay
¾Do not modify or replace the liftgate
damper stay. Consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer if a liftgate damper stay is
deformed or damaged for reasons such
as a collision or if there is some other
problem.

Do not place anything on top of the
luggage compartment cover:
Placing luggage or other cargo on top of
the luggage compartment cover is
dangerous. During sudden braking or a
collision, the cargo could become a
projectile that could hit and injure
someone.
&$87,21
Make sure the luggage compartment cover
is
firmly secured. If it is not
firmly secured, it
could unexpectedly disengage resulting in
injury.

NOTE
xIf you attempt to open the liftgate under
cold weather conditions with the
luggage compartment cover attached,
the damper function may not operate
normally and the liftgate may be
difficult to raise. The liftgate can be
opened more easily under cold weather
conditions if the luggage compartment
cover is not attached.
xWhen opening/closing the liftgate, the
weight of the liftgate is different
depending on whether the luggage
compartment cover is used or not,
however, this does not indicate a
malfunction.

Do not use the luggage compartment net
to secure objects in the luggage
compartment or the rear seat area:
Using the luggage compartment net to
secure objects in the luggage compartment
or the rear seat area is dangerous. The
luggage compartment net is not designed
to hold objects in place that could
fly
forward in a frontal collision. Unsecured
objects that are thrown around the inside
of the vehicle could cause injury to
occupants. This is particularly true for
objects stacked above the seatback level.
Never stack objects above the seatback
level. If the luggage compartment is
divided from the rear seat, pull the luggage
compartment cover over the cargo in the
luggage compartment.
Make sure luggage and cargo is secured
before driving:
Not securing cargo while driving is
dangerous as it could move or be crushed
during sudden braking or a collision and
cause injury.
&$87,21
Make sure the net is firmly secured. If it is
not firmly secured, it could unexpectedly
disengage resulting in injury.
NOTE
The width of the net anchors can be
shortened by pushing both sides inward.
