Inside Trunk Release Lever  
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.  
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.  
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:  
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.  
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.

qOpening the Trunk Lid from the  
Inside  
Power Windows  
The ignition must be ON for the power  
windows to operate.  
Slide the inside trunk release lever in the  
direction of the arrow. The lever is made  
of material that will glow for hours in the  
darkness of the trunk following a brief  
exposure to ambient light.  
WARNING  
Make sure the opening is clear before  
closing a window:  
Closing power windows are  
dangerous. A person's hands, head,  
or even neck could be caught by the  
window and result in serious injury  
or even death.  
The inside trunk release lever is located  
on the inside of the trunk lid.  
This warning applies especially to  
children.  
Always lock all passenger power  
windows with the power window lock  
switch on the driver's side while  
children are in the vehicle, and never  
allow children to play with power  
window switches:  
Leaving the power window switches  
unlocked while children are in the  
vehicle is dangerous. 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.

Auto-opening/closing  
WARNING  
To fully open the window automatically,  
press the switch completely down, then  
release. The window will fully open  
automatically.  
Make sure nothing blocks the window  
just before it reaches the fully closed

window switch:  
To fully close the window automatically,  
pull the switch completely up, then  
release. The window will fully close  
automatically.  
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.  
To stop the window partway, pull or press  
the switch in the opposite direction and  
then release it.  
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.

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
