The moonroof can be opened or closed electrically only when the ignition is switched ON.
-
Before leaving the vehicle or washing your Mazda, make sure the moonroof is completely closed so that water does not get inside the cabin area.
-
After washing your Mazda or after it rains, wipe the water off the moonroof before operating it to avoid water penetration which could cause rust and water damage to your headliner.

Tilt Operation
The rear of the moonroof can be tilted open to provide more ventilation.
To fully tilt automatically, momentarily press the tilt/slide switch.
To fully close automatically, momentarily press the tilt/slide switch in the forward direction.
To stop tilting partway, press the tilt/slide switch.
When the moonroof is already slid open and you want to tilt it open, first close the moonroof and then do a tilt operation.

Slide Operation
To fully open automatically, momentarily press the tilt/slide switch in the backward direction.
To fully close automatically, momentarily press the tilt/slide switch in the forward direction.
To stop sliding partway, press the tilt/slide switch.
When the moonroof is already tilted open and you want to slide it open, first close the moonroof and then do a slide operation.

If the moonroof does not operate normally, do the following procedure:
-
Switch the ignition ON.
-
Press the tilt switch, to partially tilt open the rear of the moonroof.
-
Repeat Step 2. The rear of the moonroof tilts open to the fully open position, then closes a little.
If the reset procedure is performed while the moonroof is in the slide position (partially open) it will close before the rear tilt opens.
