Knowing Your Mazda Doors and Locks qEngine-off Moonroof Operation The moonroof can be operated for about 40 seconds after the ignition switch is turned from the ON position to the ACC or LOCK position with all doors closed. If any door is opened, the moonroof will be inoperable. NOTE For engine-off operation of the moonroof, the switch must be pushed firmly throughout moonroof closure because the auto-closing function will be inoperable. l NOTE l qOpening/Closing the Moonroof from Outside The moonroof can be opened or closed from outside the vehicle after the doors and the liftgate are closed. The moonroof cannot be opened or closed from outside the vehicle under the following condition: A door or the liftgate is opened. The key is inserted into the ignition switch. (With advanced key) The start knob is pushed into the ignition switch. The moonroof may not close completely. Make sure the moonroof is closed. If the moonroof cannot be closed completely, operate moonroof tilt/slide switch from inside the vehicle. After closing the moonroof outside the vehicle, verify that it is completely closed. l l l Opening Because nobody likes getting into a very hot car, Mazda has introduced a way to open the two front windows and the moonroof as you approach the vehicle to get the air moving before you get in. WARNING Make sure the opening is clear before closing the moonroof: Closing the moonroof is dangerous. A person's hands, head, or even neck could be caught by the moonroof and result in serious injury or even death. This warning applies especially to children and pets. WARNING Use the auto-moonroof function only when you can see the vehicle and it is in a secure area: Do not let children play with your keys. If they open the moonroof without your knowing, the open moonroof is an even bigger invitation to a thief than leaving the doors unlocked. The moonroof can be opened for ventilating the cabin before getting in the vehicle. 3-45
