WARNING
Always take all children and pets with
you or leave a responsible person
with them:
Leaving a child or a pet unattended in
a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle
can become high enough to cause
brain damage or even death.
Do not leave the key in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a
place where your children will not
find or play with them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed.
Always close all the windows and
sunroof, lock the doors, fuel-filler
flap, and liftgate and take the key with
you when leaving your vehicle
unattended:
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is
dangerous as children could lock
themselves in a hot vehicle, which
could result in death. Also, a vehicle
left unlocked becomes an easy target
for thieves and intruders.
After closing the doors and the
liftgate, always verify that they are
securely closed:
Doors and the liftgate not securely
closed are dangerous, if the vehicle is
driven with a door and the liftgate not
securely closed, the door and the
liftgate could open unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.
Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door and the
liftgate:
Suddenly opening a door and the
liftgate is dangerous. A passing vehicle
or a pedestrian could be hit and cause
an accident.
CAUTION
¾Always confirm the conditions
around the vehicle before opening/
closing the doors and the liftgate and
use caution during strong winds or
when parked on an incline. Not
being aware of the conditions
around the vehicle is dangerous
because fingers could get caught in
the door and the liftgate or a passing
pedestrian could be hit, resulting in
an unexpected accident or injury.
NOTE
xAlways stop the engine and lock the
doors. In addition, to prevent theft of
valuables, do not leave them inside
the cabin.
xIf the key is left in the following areas
and you leave the vehicle, the doors
may be locked depending on the
radio wave conditions even if the key
is left in the vehicle.
xAround the instrument panel xIn the storage compartments such
as the glove compartment or the
centre console
xNext to a communication device
such as a mobile phone
xWhen the ignition is switched to
ACC or ON, the vehicle lock-out
prevention feature prevents you from
locking yourself out of the vehicle.

the doors, fuel-filler flap, and liftgate
are locked automatically after about
30 seconds.) If you are out of the
operational range before the doors
and the liftgate are completely
closed or another transmitter is left
in the vehicle, the walk-away auto
lock function will not work. Always
make sure that all doors and the
liftgate are closed and locked before
leaving the vehicle. The walk-away
auto lock function does not close the
power windows.

▼Engine Exhaust (Carbon
monoxide)
WARNING
Do not drive your vehicle if you smell
exhaust gas inside the vehicle:
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This
gas contains carbon monoxide (CO),
which is colourless, odourless, and
poisonous. When inhaled, it can cause
loss of consciousness and death. If you
smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle,
keep all windows fully open and
contact an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) immediately.
Do not run the engine when inside an
enclosed area:
Running the engine inside an enclosed
area, such as a garage, is dangerous.
Exhaust gas, which contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, could easily enter
the cabin. Loss of consciousness or
even death could occur.
Open the windows or adjust the
heating or cooling system to draw
fresh air when idling the engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the
vehicle is stopped with the windows
closed and the engine running for a
long time even in an open area,
exhaust gas, which contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, could enter the
cabin. Loss of consciousness or even
death could occur.
Clear snow from underneath and
around your vehicle, particularly the
tail pipe, before starting the engine:
Running the engine when a vehicle is
stopped in deep snow is dangerous.
The exhaust pipe could be blocked by
the snow, allowing exhaust gas to
enter the cabin. Because exhaust gas
contains poisonous carbon monoxide,
it could cause loss of consciousness or
even death to occupants in the cabin.
Before Driving
Fuel and Emission

Fuel-Filler Flap and Cap
▼Fuel-Filler Flap and Cap
WARNING
When removing the fuel-filler cap,
loosen the cap slightly and wait for
any hissing to stop, then remove it:
Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can burn
skin and eyes and cause illness if
ingested. Fuel spray is released when
there is pressure in the fuel tank and
the fuel-filler cap is removed too
quickly.
Before refuelling, stop the engine,
and always keep sparks and flames
away from the filler neck:
Fuel vapour is dangerous. It could be
ignited by sparks or flames causing
serious burns and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect
fuel-filler cap or not using a fuel-filler
cap may result in a fuel leak, which
could result in serious burns or death
in an accident.
Do not continue refuelling after the
fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically:
Continuing to add fuel after the fuel
pump nozzle has shut off automatically
is dangerous because
overfilling the
fuel tank may cause fuel overflow or
leakage. Fuel overflow and leakage
could damage the vehicle and if the
fuel ignites it could cause a fire and
explosion resulting in serious injury or
death.
CAUTION
¾Always use only a designated Mazda
fuel-filler cap or an approved
equivalent, available at an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer). The
wrong cap can result in a serious
malfunction of the fuel and emission
control systems.
¾When using an automatic car wash
or a high water pressure car washer,
lock the driver's door. Otherwise,
the
fuel-filler
flap may open
unexpectedly and could be
damaged.
▼Refuelling
Before refuelling, close all the doors,
windows, and liftgate, and switch the
ignition OFF.
1. Using the following , unlock the
driver’s door.
xTransmitter (page 3-16) xTouch sensor (page 3-13) xDoor-lock switch (page 3-16) xAuto lock/unlock function (page

NOTE
xWhen the driver's door is locked/
unlocked, the fuel flap is also
locked/unlocked at the same
time.
xThe time until the fuel flap is
locked after locking the driver's
door can be changed.
Refer to the Settings section in
the Mazda Connect Owner's
Manual.
xHowever, if you change the time
until the fuel flap is locked,
locking of the fuel flap using the
following functions is not
applicable.

WARNING
Do not stack cargo or objects higher
than the seatbacks:
Cargo stacked higher than the
seatbacks is dangerous. It can block
your view in the rearview mirror, which
might cause you to hit another car
when changing lanes.
Rearview mirror adjustment
Before driving, adjust the rearview

▼Power Windows
The windows can be opened/closed
by operating the power window
switches.
WARNING
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing a window:
Closing a power window is dangerous.
A person's hands, head, or even neck
could be caught by the window and
result in serious injury or even death.
This warning applies especially to
children.
Never allow children to play with
power window switches:
Power window switches that are not
locked with the power window lock
switch would allow children to operate
power windows unintentionally, which
could result in serious injury if a child's
hands, head or neck becomes caught
by the window.
Make sure nothing blocks the window
just before it reaches the fully closed
position or while fully holding up the
power window switch:
Blocking the power window just before
it reaches the fully closed position or
while fully holding up the power
window switch is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function may
not prevent the window from closing
all the way. If
fingers are caught,
serious injuries could occur.
Do not let a child put a hand or head
out of the window while driving the
vehicle:
If the person's hand or head hits
something outside the vehicle, or
sudden braking is applied, it could
result in serious injury or death.
NOTE
When driving with only 1 of the rear
windows open, your ears might
experience a resonating sound.
However, this does not indicate a
problem. The sound can be reduced
by slightly opening a front window or
by changing the size of the rear
window opening.
▼Opening/Closing Windows
The window opens while the switch is
pressed and it closes while the switch
is pulled up with the ignition switched
ON. Do not open or close 3 or more
windows at the same time.
The front passenger's window and rear
windows can be opened/closed when
the power window lock switch on the
driver's door is in the unlocked
position. Keep this switch in the locked
