Knowing Your Mazda Doors and Locks M Rear Door Child Safety Locks These locks are intended to help prevent children from accidentally opening the sliding doors.

M Easy Closure (With Power Sliding Doors) The Easy Closure system automatically closes the doors completely from the near-shut position. This system also operates when the doors are closed manually.
