Closing the roof manually
If the roof cannot be closed even after
the operation conditions are all met,
have it checked at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
If you are unable to have the roof
checked at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer, the roof can be closed
manually as an emergency measure.
The procedure for manually closing the
roof is as follows:
1. Opening the rear roof
Release the locks of the rear roof
and open it.
2. Closing the front roof
Lift up the front roof and close it.
3. Closing the rear roof
Tie the ropes to the rear roof links
and close the rear roof.
1. Front roof
2. Rear roof
3. Rear roof link
CAUTION
Do not drive the vehicle with the
roof partially open. The vehicle
operation may be affected by the
wind and could result in an accident.
Do not perform the procedure in a
strong wind as it could cause an
unexpected accident.

When the Roof Cannot be Closed
Two adults are required to perform
the procedure, especially when
lifting up the front roof. Do not do it
alone so as not to cause injury or
vehicle damage.
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 roof
checked at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
NOTE
This procedure is for manually closing
the roof as an emergency measure.
After closing the roof manually, electric
operation is not possible until the
system is restored by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Before closing manually
WARNING
Verify that the ignition is switched off
before manually operating the roof.
Manually closing the roof with the
ignition not switched off is dangerous
as the motors could turn on suddenly
and cause injury resulting from hands
or fingers being pinched in the
mechanism.
1. Park on a hard, 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 Neutral.
3. Switch the ignition off while
depressing the brake pedal.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flasher
if it is needed.
