Knowing Your Mazda Doors and Locks WARNING Children and the Power Sliding Door Switches: Allowing children to operate the power sliding door switches and the keyless entry system is dangerous. Children are not aware of the dangers of people getting fingers and hands caught in moving doors. Never allow children to operate the power sliding door system. Open Windows and Power Sliding Doors: It is dangerous to stick your head or hands out the power sliding door windows while the doors are opening/ closing. A head or hands could be caught resulting in serious injury. Never stick your head or hands out the power sliding door windows. Entering or Exiting the Vehicle Parked on a Steep Downward Slope: Entering or exiting a vehicle parked on a steep downward slope before the door has completely opened is dangerous. The door could unexpectedly move down resulting in serious injury. Make sure that the door has completely opened before exiting or entering the vehicle on a steep downward slope. NOTE • Do not apply unnecessary force to the doors when they are opening/ closing electrically. Unnecessary force on the doors may cause them to reverse direction of movement automatically. • When the vehicle is parked on a slope, electrical opening/closing of the doors may not operate. When the doors cannot be opened/closed electrically, press the power sliding doors main switch to the OFF position and open/close the doors manually. • If there is a malfunction in the power sliding door system, a beep sound will be heard continuously. If this happens, press the power sliding doors main switch to the OFF position and the beep sound will stop. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer to have the power sliding doors checked. • The power sliding doors will not operate unless they are unlocked, and the power sliding doors main switch is in the ON position. • The sliding doors can be opened using the power sliding door switches located at the driver's seat, the transmitter, or the exterior door handles even when the child safety locks are in the lock position (page 3-12). • The fuel-filler lid does not open when the left power sliding door is opening. 3-14
