WARNING

Do not let passengers stand up or 

extend part of the body through the 

open moonroof while the vehicle is 

moving:

Extending the head, arms, or other 

parts of the body through the 

moonroof is dangerous. The head or 

arms could hit something while the 

vehicle is moving. This could cause 

serious injury or death.

Make sure the opening is clear before 

closing the moonroof:

A closing moonroof is dangerous. The 

hands, head, or even neck of a person, 

especially a child, could be caught in 

it as it closes, causing serious injury or 

even death.

NOTE

Before washing your Mazda, make sure 

the moonroof is completely closed so that 

water does not get inside the cabin area. 

After washing your Mazda or after it rains, 

wipe the water off the moonroof before 

operating it to avoid water penetration 

which could cause rust and water damage 

to your headliner.

 Tilt Operation

The rear of the moonroof can be tilted 

open to provide more ventilation.

To fully tilt automatically, momentarily 

press the tilt/slide switch.

To stop tilting partway, press the tilt/slide 

switch.

To close to the desired position, press the 

tilt/slide switch in the forward direction.
