Trunk Lid (4 Door)

WARNING

Never allow a person to ride in the
trunk:

Allowing a person to ride in the trunk
is dangerous. In addition, the person
in the trunk could be seriously
injured or killed during sudden
braking or a collision.

Keep the trunk closed when driving:

Exhaust gas entering the cabin of a
vehicle through an open trunk is
dangerous. This gas contains CO
(carbon monoxide), which is
colorless, odorless, and highly
poisonous. If inhaled, it can cause
loss of consciousness and death.

qOpening and Closing the Trunk Lid

WARNING

Close the trunk lid, be sure the seat
backs are latched and do not allow
children to play inside the vehicle:

Leaving the trunk lid open or leaving
children in the vehicle with the keys is
dangerous. Children could open the
trunk lid and climb inside resulting in
possible injury or death from heat
exposure.

Always keep the car from being a
tempting place to play by latching the
rear seats, doors and the trunk, and
keeping the keys where children can
not play with them:

Leaving children or animals
unattended in a parked vehicle is
dangerous. Babies left sleeping and
children who lock themselves in cars
or trunks can die very quickly from
heat prostration. Do not leave your
children or pets alone in a car at any
time. Do not leave the car, the rear
folding seats or the trunk unlocked.

CAUTION

For vehicles equipped with a rear
spoiler, do not raise or lower the
trunk lid using the spoiler. Otherwise,
the rear spoiler and the trunk lid
could be damaged.

Inside Trunk Release Lever

Your vehicle is equipped with an inside
trunk release lever that provides a means
of escape for children and adults in the
event they become locked inside the
trunk.

No matter how careful adults might be
with keys and locking their cars, parents
should be aware that children may be
tempted to play around vehicles and use
the trunk as a hiding place.

Adults are advised to familiarize
themselves with the operation and
location of the inside trunk release lever
so that all children can be told about it in
an appropriate way, keeping in mind that
most vehicles do not have such levers.

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.

CAUTION

To prevent burning out the fuse and
damaging the power window system,
do not open or close more than three
windows at once.

Power window system initialization
procedure

If the battery was disconnected during
vehicle maintenance, or for other reasons
(such as a switch continues to be operated
after the window is fully open/closed), the
window will not fully open and close
automatically. Carry out the following
procedure to resume operation:

1. Switch the ignition ON.

2. Press the switch and fully open the

window.

3. Pull up the switch to fully close the

window and continue holding the
switch for about 2 seconds after the
window fully closes.

Jam-safe window

If a person's hands, head or an object
blocks the window during the auto-
closing operation, the window will stop
and open halfway.

WARNING

Make sure nothing blocks the window
just before it reaches the fully closed
position or while holding up the power
window switch:

Blocking the power window just
before it reaches the fully closed
position or while holding up the
power window switch is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function
cannot prevent the window from
closing all the way. If fingers are
caught, serious injuries could occur.

NOTE

Depending on driving conditions, a closing
power window could stop and start opening
when the window feels a shock that is similar
to something blocking it.
In the event the jam-safe function activates and
the power window cannot be closed
automatically, pull and hold the switch and the
window will close.

Engine-off power window operation

The power window can be operated for
about 45 seconds after the ignition is
switched from ON to ACC or OFF with
all doors closed. If any door is opened, the
power window will be inoperable.

NOTE

For engine-off operation of the power window,
the switch must be held up firmly throughout
window closure because the auto-closing
function will be inoperable.

Fuel-Filler Lid 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 refueling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and flames away
from the filler neck:

Fuel vapor 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 fuel leak, which could
result in serious burns or death in an
accident.

CAUTION

Always use only a genuine Mazda
fuel-filler cap or an approved
equivalent, available at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer. The wrong
cap can result in a serious
malfunction of the fuel and emission
control systems. It may also cause
the check engine light in the
instrument cluster to illuminate.

CAUTION

If the check fuel cap warning light
illuminates, the fuel-filler cap may
not be properly installed. If the
warning light illuminates, park your
vehicle safely off the right-of-way,
remove the fuel-filler cap and
reinstall it correctly. After the cap has
been correctly installed, the fuel cap
warning light may continue to
illuminate until a number of driving
cycles have been completed. A drive
cycle consists of starting the engine
(after four or more hours with the
engine off) and driving the vehicle on
city and highway roads.
Continuing to drive with the check
fuel cap warning light illuminated
could cause the check engine light to
illuminate as well.

Hood

WARNING

Always check that the hood is closed
and securely locked:

could fly open while the vehicle is
moving and block the driver's vision
which could result in a serious
accident.

qOpening the Hood

1. With the vehicle parked, pull the

release handle to unlock the hood.

Immobilizer System (with
Advanced Key)

The immobilizer system allows the engine
to start only with an advanced key the
system recognizes.

If someone attempts to start the engine
with an unrecognized advanced key, the
engine will not start, thereby helping to
prevent the theft of your vehicle.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the advanced key
(including auxiliary key), consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

CAUTION

Ø Radio equipment like this is

governed by laws in the United
States.
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.

Ø To avoid damage to the key, do

not:

Drop the key.

Get the key wet.

Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic field.

Expose the key to high
temperatures on places such as
the dashboard or hood, under
direct sunlight.

CAUTION

Do not allow the following when
starting the engine with the auxiliary
key due to an advanced key dead
battery or other malfunction.
Otherwise the signal from the
auxiliary key will not be received
correctly and the engine may not
start.

Ø A key ring rests on the auxiliary

key grip.

Ø Metal parts of other keys or metal

objects touch the auxiliary key
grip.

Ø Spare auxiliary keys or keys for

other vehicles equipped with an
immobilizer system touch or come
near the auxiliary key.

Knowing Your Mazda

Security System

Ø Devices for electronic purchases, or

security passage which touch or
come near the auxiliary key.

NOTE

The advanced keys (including auxiliary key)
carry a unique electronic code. For this
reason, and to assure your safety, obtaining
a replacement advanced key (including
auxiliary key) requires some waiting time.
They are only available through an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Always keep a spare advanced key in case
one is lost. If an advanced key is lost,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as
soon as possible.

If you lose an advanced key (including
auxiliary key), an Authorized Mazda Dealer
will reset the electronic codes of your
remaining advanced keys (including
auxiliary keys) and immobilizer system.
Bring all the remaining advanced keys
(including auxiliary keys) to an Authorized
Mazda Dealer to reset.
Starting the vehicle with a key that has not
been reset is not possible.

qOperation

Arming

The system is armed when the ignition is
switched from ON to ACC or OFF. The
security indicator light in the instrument
cluster flashes every 2 seconds until the
system is disarmed.

Disarming

The system is disarmed when the ignition
is switched ON with the registered
advanced key.
The security indicator light illuminates for
about 3 seconds and goes out.

If the engine does not start with the
correct advanced key, and the security
indicator light keeps illuminating or
flashing, the system may have a
malfunction. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

NOTE

The engine may not start and the security
indicator light may illuminate or flash if the
advanced key is placed in an area where it
is difficult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the dashboard, or in the
glove box. Move the advanced key to
another place, switch the ignition off, and
then restart the engine.

Signals from a TV or radio station, or from
a transceiver or a mobile telephone could
interfere with your immobilizer system. If
you are using the proper advanced key and
the engine fails to start, check the security
indicator light. If the indicator light is
flashing, switch the ignition to ACC or
switch the ignition off and wait for a while,
then restart the engine. If it does not start
after 3 or more tries, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

If the security indicator light flashes
continuously while you are driving, do not
shut off the engine. Go to an Authorized
Mazda Dealer and have it checked. If the
engine is shut off while the indicator light is
flashing, you will not be able to restart it.

Since the electronic codes are reset when
repairing the immobilizer system, the
advanced key (including auxiliary key) are
needed. Bring all the advanced keys
(including auxiliary keys) to an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
