Doors and Locks

Opening the Hood

1. With the vehicle parked, pull the 

release handle to unlock the hood.

Make sure the fuel-filler cap is 
tightened securely. The check engine 
light may illuminate on when the cap 
isn’t tightened securely. If the light 
remains on (even after you have 
tightened the cap securely, driven, and 
restarted the engine several times), it 
may indicate a different problem. 
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer 
as soon as possible.

CAUTION

Hood

Closed and Securely Locked Hood:
A hood that is not closed and securely 
locked is dangerous as it could fly 
open while the vehicle is moving and 
block the driver’s vision which could 
result in a serious accident. Always 
check that the hood is closed and 
securely locked.
