Be careful when opening/closing the
liftgate during strong winds. If a
strong gust blows against the liftgate,
it could close suddenly resulting in
injury.
Fully open the liftgate and make sure
that it stays open. If the liftgate 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, 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.
1. Damper stay
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.

A locked liftgate can also be opened

doors and the liftgate locked, it may
require a few seconds for the liftgate
latch to release after the electric

The liftgate can be closed when the

doors are locked with the key left in
the vehicle. However, to prevent
locking the key in the vehicle, the

the electric liftgate opener. If the
liftgate cannot be opened despite
doing this procedure, first push the

the electric liftgate opener to fully
