Rear Door Child Safety Locks

This lock is intended to help prevent 
children from accidentally opening the 
sliding doors. Use it whenever a child 
rides in the vehicle.

If you slide the child safety lock to the 
lock position before closing that door, the 
door cannot be opened from the inside.
The door can be opened only by lifting the 
outside handle.

If your Mazda has power sliding doors, 
press the power sliding doors main switch 
to the OFF position.
Refer to Power Sliding Doors (page 3-12)

NOTE

(Without power sliding doors)

When closing a door from the outside, 
hold the door handle pulled while 
sliding the door.

Child Safety Lock and Power Sliding 
Doors Main Switch (With Power 
Sliding Doors) :
Leaving the power sliding doors main 
switch in the ON position with the 
child safety locks in the lock position, 
while the vehicle is stopped or parked 
is dangerous. If a child mistakenly 
presses the rear power sliding door 
switches, a door will open 
automatically even if the child safety 
locks are in the lock position. If a 
door opens unexpectedly, children or 
other occupants could fall out 
resulting in serious injury or death. 
Whenever there are children in the 
vehicle, turn off the power sliding 
doors with the power sliding doors 
main switch to lock the rear power 
sliding door switches even if the child 
safety locks are in the lock position.
