Doors and Locks
Door Locks
Always take all children and pets with you or leave a responsible person with them:
Leaving a child or a pet unattended in a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot weather, temperatures inside a vehicle can become high enough to cause brain damage or even death.
Do not leave the key in your vehicle with children and keep them in a place where your children will not find or play with them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the key is dangerous. This could result in someone being badly injured or even killed.
Always close all the windows and sunroof, lock the doors and the liftgate/boot lid and take the key with you when leaving your vehicle unattended:
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is dangerous as children could lock themselves in a hot vehicle, which could result in death. Also, a vehicle left unlocked becomes an easy target for thieves and intruders.
After closing the doors and the liftgate/boot lid, always verify that they are securely closed:
Doors and the liftgate/boot lid not securely closed are dangerous, if the vehicle is driven with a door and the liftgate/boot lid not securely closed, the door and the liftgate/boot lid could open unexpectedly resulting in an accident.
Always confirm the safety around the vehicle before opening a door and the liftgate/boot lid:
Suddenly opening a door and the liftgate/boot lid is dangerous. A passing vehicle or a pedestrian could be hit and cause an accident.
-
Always confirm the conditions around the vehicle before opening/closing the doors and the liftgate/boot lid and use caution during strong winds or when parked on an incline. Not being aware of the conditions around the vehicle is dangerous because fingers could get caught in the door and the liftgate/boot lid or a passing pedestrian could be hit, resulting in an unexpected accident or injury.
-
Always stop the engine and lock the doors. In addition, to prevent theft of valuables, do not leave them inside the cabin.
-
If the key is left in the following areas and you leave the vehicle, the doors may be locked depending on the radio wave conditions even if the key is left in the vehicle.
-
Around the instrument panel
-
In the storage compartments such as the glove compartment or the centre console
-
On the rear parcel shelf (saloon)
-
Next to a communication device such as a mobile phone
-
-
The vehicle lock-out prevention feature prevents you from locking yourself out of the vehicle.

All doors and the liftgate/boot lid will automatically unlock if they are locked using the power door locks with any door open.
If all the doors are closed even though the liftgate/boot lid is open, all the doors will lock.
(Except European models)
All doors and the liftgate/boot lid will automatically unlock if they are locked using the power door locks with any door or the liftgate open.

(Door unlock (control) system with collision detection) (Some Models)
This system automatically unlocks the doors and the liftgate/boot lid in the event the vehicle is involved in an accident to allow passengers to get out of the vehicle immediately and prevent being trapped inside. While the ignition is switched ON and in the event the vehicle receives an impact strong enough to inflate the air bags, all the doors and the liftgate/boot lid are automatically unlocked after about 6 seconds have elapsed from the time of the accident.
The doors and the liftgate/boot lid may not unlock depending on how an impact is applied, the force of the impact, and other conditions of the accident.
If door-related systems or the battery is malfunctioning, the doors and the liftgate/boot lid will not unlock.
Locking, Unlocking with Auxiliary Key
All doors and the liftgate/boot lid lock automatically when the driver's door is locked using the auxiliary key. They all unlock when the driver's door is unlocked using the auxiliary key.
Turn the auxiliary key toward the front to lock, toward the back to unlock.

Double Locking System (Some Models)
The double locking system is designed to prevent someone who has broken into your vehicle from opening the door from the inside.
If you have any problems with the double locking system, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Never activate the double locking system with passengers, especially children, still inside the vehicle:
Activating the system with passengers, especially children, still inside the vehicle is dangerous. The passengers cannot open the doors from inside. They would be trapped and subjected to extreme temperatures. This could result in serious injuries or even death.

Liftgate/Boot Lid
Never allow a person to ride in the luggage compartment/boot:
Allowing a person to ride in the luggage compartment/boot is dangerous. The person in the luggage compartment/boot could be seriously injured or killed during sudden braking or a collision.
Do not drive with the liftgate/boot lid open:
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle is dangerous. An open liftgate/boot lid in a moving vehicle will cause exhaust gas to be drawn into the cabin. This gas contains CO (carbon monoxide), which is colourless, odourless, and highly poisonous, and it can cause loss of consciousness and death. Moreover, an open liftgate/boot lid could cause occupants to fall out in an accident.
Do not stack or leave loaded luggage unsecured in the luggage compartment:
Otherwise, the luggage may move or collapse, resulting in injury or an accident. In addition, do not load luggage higher than the seatbacks. It may affect the side or rear field of view.
-
Before opening the liftgate/boot lid, remove any snow and ice accumulation on it. Otherwise, the liftgate/boot lid could close under the weight of the snow and ice resulting in injury.
-
Be careful when opening/closing the liftgate/boot lid during strong winds. If a strong gust blows against the liftgate/boot lid, it could close suddenly resulting in injury.
-
Fully open the liftgate/boot lid and make sure that it stays open. If the liftgate/boot lid is only opened partially, it could slam shut by vibration or wind gusts resulting in injury.
-
When loading or unloading luggage in the luggage compartment/boot, turn off the engine. Otherwise, you could get burned by the heat of the exhaust gas.
-
Be careful not to apply excessive force to the damper stay on the liftgate such as by putting your hand on the stay. Otherwise, the damper stay may bend and affect the liftgate operation.
-
Do not modify or replace the liftgate damper stay. Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer if a liftgate damper stay is deformed or damaged for reasons such as a collision or if there is some other problem.
Opening and Closing the Liftgate/Boot Lid
Luggage Compartment
Luggage compartment cover (Hatchback) (Some Models)
Do not place anything on top of the cover:
Placing luggage or other cargo on top of the luggage compartment cover is dangerous. During sudden braking or a collision, the cargo could become a projectile that could hit and injure someone. The vehicle has a light weight luggage compartment cover to keep the contents of your luggage area out of sight; it will not retain heavy objects that are not tied down in an accident such as a rollover. Tie down all heavy objects, whether luggage or cargo, using the tie down hooks.
Make sure luggage and cargo are secured before driving:
Not securing cargo while driving is dangerous as it could move or be crushed during sudden braking or a collision and cause injury.
-
Make sure the luggage compartment cover is firmly secured. If it is not firmly secured, it could unexpectedly disengage resulting in injury.
The luggage compartment can be accessed by opening the liftgate when the straps are attached to the sides of the liftgate.

Removing the cover
This cover can be removed for more room.
-
Remove the straps from the hooks.
-
Lift the end of the luggage compartment cover a little, pull it outward, and remove it from the pins.
-
Lift the front end of the luggage compartment cover and remove it.
