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. Switch the ignition off while

depressing the brake pedal.

4. Turn on the hazard warning flasher if it

is needed.

WARNING

Verify that the ignition is switched off
before manually operating the hardtop:

Manually retracting the hardtop with
the ignition not switched off 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
