CAUTION

Ø

Do not drive the vehicle with the
hardtop open halfway.

Ø

Do not perform the procedure in a
strong wind as it could cause an
unexpected accident.

Ø

Two adults are required to
perform the procedure, especially
when lifting up the hardtop. Do
not do it alone so as not to cause
injury or vehicle damage.

Ø

Some steps in the procedure
require using multiple tools at the
same time and a certain level of
technical expertise. In addition,
holding your body extended over
the car can result in muscle strains
so Mazda recommends having the
hardtop checked at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

NOTE

Use a suitable means of illumination, such as a
flashlight, to improve visibility under the deck
lid when performing this task.

Before closing manually

1. Park on a level surface off the right-of-

way and firmly set the parking brake.

2. Put a vehicle with an automatic

transmission in Park (P), a manual
transmission in Reverse (R) or 1, and
turn off the engine.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK

position while depressing the brake
pedal.

4. Turn on the hazard warning flasher if it

is needed.

WARNING

Verify that the ignition switch is in the
LOCK position before manually
operating the hardtop:

Manually retracting the hardtop with
the ignition switch not in the LOCK
position is dangerous as the retractor
motors could turn on suddenly and
cause injury resulting from hands or
fingers being pinched in the
mechanism.

Manual closing
