Doors and Locks

Form No. 8S06-EA-03H

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.

WARNING

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.
