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.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
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.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
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.

xThe 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 compartment. Move the
key to a location within the signal
range, switch the ignition off, and then
restart the engine.
xSignals 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.

xIf 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.
xBecause 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.

Make sure the floor mats are secured with
the grommets or the retainers to prevent
them from bunching up under the foot
pedals (Driver's side):
Using a
floor mat that is not secured is
dangerous as it will interfere with the
accelerator and brake pedal operation
(driver's side), which could result in an
accident.
Only use a
floor mat which conforms to the
shape of the floor on the driver's side and
make sure it is oriented correctly.
Secure the floor mat using the grommets or
retainers.
There are various ways to secure floor mats
depending on the type used, therefore
secure the mat according to the type.
After installing the floor mat, make sure
that it does not slide from side to side or
back and forth, and that there is sufficient
clearance with the accelerator and brake
pedals on the driver's side.
After removing the floor mat for cleaning
or some other reason, always securely
reinstall it while paying attention to the
precautions just mentioned.
Do not install two floor mats, one on top of
the other, on the driver's side:
Installing two floor mats, one on top of the
other, on the driver's side is dangerous as
the retention pins can only keep one floor
mat from sliding forward.

Make sure the safety chain is securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle prior to
departure:
Towing a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer and the
vehicle is dangerous. If damage occurs to the coupling unit or hitch ball, the trailer could
wander into another lane and cause a collision.

Before leaving the driver's seat, always
switch the ignition
off, set the parking
brake, and make sure the selector lever is in
P (automatic transaxle) position or in 1st
gear or R (manual transaxle):
Leaving the driver's seat without switching
the ignition off, setting the parking brake,
and shifting the selector lever to P
(automatic transaxle) position or to 1st
gear or R (manual transaxle) is dangerous.
Unexpected vehicle movement could occur
which could result in an accident.
In addition, if your intention is to leave the
vehicle for even a short period, it is
important to switch the ignition off, as
leaving it in another position will disable
some of the vehicle's security systems and
run the battery down.
NOTE
(Locked steering wheel)
If the push button start indicator light
(green) is flashing and the beep sound is
heard, this indicates that the steering
wheel is not unlocked. To unlock the
steering wheel, press the push button start
while moving the steering wheel left and
right.
