Mazda 3 Owners Manual: Operational Range
| WARNING
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 fi nd 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. Keep all doors locked when driving: Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle are dangerous. Passengers can fall out if a door is accidentally opened and can more easily be thrown out in an accident. Always close all the windows and moonroof, lock the doors 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, always verify that they are securely closed: Doors not securely closed are dangerous, if the vehicle is driven with a door not securely closed, the door could open unexpectedly resulting in an accident. Always confi rm the safety around the vehicle before opening a door: Suddenly opening a door is dangerous. A passing vehicle or a pedestrian could be hit and cause an accident. |
| CAUTION
Always confi rm the conditions around
the vehicle before opening/closing the
doors and use caution during strong
winds or when parked on an incline. Not being aware of the conditions around the vehicle is dangerous because fi ngers could get caught in the door or a passing pedestrian could be hit, resulting in an unexpected accident or injury. |
