Mazda 3 Owners Manual: Moonroof

The moonroof can be opened or closed electrically only when the ignition is switched ON.

NOTE Before 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 stop tilting partway, press the tilt/slide switch.

To close to the desired position, press the tilt/slide switch in the forward direction.

Slide Operation

To fully open automatically, momentarily press the tilt/slide switch in the backward direction.

To stop sliding partway, press the tilt/slide switch.

To close to the desired position, press the tilt/slide switch in the forward direction.

Power Moonroof Reset Procedure

If the battery is disconnected, the moonroof will not operate. The moonroof will not operate correctly until it is reset.

Carry out the following procedure to reset the moonroof and resume operation:

1. Switch the ignition ON.
2. Press the tilt switch, to partially tilt open the rear of the moonroof.
3. Repeat Step 2. The rear of the moonroof tilts open to the fully open position, then closes a little.

NOTE If the reset procedure is performed while the moonroof is in the slide position (partially open) it will close before the rear tilt opens.

Sunshade

The sunshade can be opened and closed by hand.

The sunshade opens automatically when the moonroof is opened, but must be closed by hand.
