2023 MAZDA CX9 child lock

Never allow children to operate the power
liftgate system:
Allowing children to operate the power
liftgate switch and the keyless entry system
is dangerous. Children are not aware of the
dangers of people getting fingers and
hands caught in a moving liftgate. If
someone's neck, head or hands get caught
in a closing door, it could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION
When closing the power liftgate, make
sure there are no foreign objects around
the striker. If foreign objects are
obstructing the striker, the liftgate may
not close properly.
Striker
Do not install accessories to the power
liftgate other than specified accessories.
Otherwise, it cannot be opened/closed
automatically and could result in a
malfunction.
 Be careful when switching the power
liftgate from electrical to manual
operation. The power liftgate may open/
close unexpectedly depending on its
position which could result in injury.
NOTE
Do not apply unnecessary force to the
power liftgate when it is opening/closing
electrically. Unnecessary force on the
liftgate may cause it to reverse direction
of movement automatically. Also, it
could result in a malfunction.
The power liftgate may not open/close
electrically if the veh icle is parked on an
incline, or there is strong wind, or the
liftgate is laden with snow.
If a power liftgate system fuse has
blown, the liftgate cannot be opened
using the power liftgate switch or the
electric liftgate opener. Use the
emergency lever to open the liftgate.
Fully close the power liftgate before
disconnecting the vehicle battery. If the
battery is disconnected with the liftgate
open, it cannot be opened or closed
automatically after the battery is
reconnected. If this happens, fully close
the liftgate manually to restore the auto
full open/close function.
If the liftgate is snow-laden, remove the
snow before operating the power
liftgate. Operating the power liftgate
with excessive force applied to the
liftgate may damage the liftgate.
Operation using the transmitter
Press the power liftgate button for one
second or longer. The hazard warning
lights flash twice and the liftgate opens/
closes after the beep sounds.
Refer to Transmitter on page 3-5.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched ON, the

Closing a power window is dangerous. A person's hands, head, or even neck could be caught
by the window and result in seri ous injury or even death. This warning applies especially to

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 reach es the fully closed position or while fully

In this case, the jam-safe function cannot prevent the window from closing all the way. If
fingers are caught, serious injuries could occur.

resonating sound. However, this does not indicate a problem. The sound can be reduced by
slightly opening a front window or by changi ng the size of the rear window opening.

Moonroof*
The moonroof can be opened or closed
when operating the overhead tilt/slide
switch at the front seats.
WA R N I N G
Do not let passengers stand up or extend
part of the body through the open
moonroof while the vehicle is moving:
Extending the head, arms, or other parts of
the body through the moonroof is
dangerous. The head or arms could hit
something while the vehicle is moving. This
could cause serious injury or death.
Never allow children to play with the tilt/
slide switch:
The tilt/slide switch would allow children to
operate the moonroof unintentionally,
which could result in serious injury if a
child's hands, head or neck becomes
caught by the moonroof.
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing the moonroof:
A closing moonroof is dangerous. The
hands, head, or even neck of a person,
especially a child, could be caught in it as it
closes, causing serious injury or even death.
Make sure nothing blocks the moonroof
just before it reaches the fully closed
position:
Blocking the moonroof just before it
reaches the closed position is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function cannot
prevent the moonroof from closing. If
fingers are caught, serious injuries could
occur.
CAUTION
 Do not sit on or put heavy items on the
area where the moonroof opens and
closes. Otherwise, the moonroof could be
damaged.
 Do not open or close the moonroof
forcefully during freezing temperatures
or snowfall. Otherwise, the moonroof
could be damaged.
 The sunshade does not tilt. To avoid
damaging the sunshade, do not push it
up.

sunshade closed could damage it.
▼ Tilt/Slide Operation
The moonroof can be opened or closed
electrically only when the ignition is
switched ON.
Before leaving the vehicle or washing
your Mazda, make sure the moonroof is
completely closed so that water does not
get inside the cabin area.
After washing your Mazda or after it
rains, wipe the water off the moonroof
before operating it to avoid water
penetration which could cause rust and
water damage to your headliner.
