Liftgate
WA R N I N G
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 affect the side or
rear field 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
affect 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
problem.

▼ Luggage Compartment
Luggage compartment cover*
WA R N I N G
Do not place anything on top of the 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. The vehicl
e has a light weight
luggage compartment cover to keep the
contents of your luggage area out of sight;
it will not retain heavy objects that are not
tied down in an accident such as a rollover.
Tie down all heavy objects, whether
luggage or cargo, using the tie down
hooks.
Make sure luggage and cargo are 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.
CAUTION
Make sure the luggage compartment cover
is firmly secured. If it is not
firmly secured, it
could unexpectedly disengage resulting in
injury.
