Mazda Mazda6: Power Windows
Mazda Mazda6: Power Windows
The ignition must be ON for the power windows to operate.
WARNING:
Make sure the opening is clear before closing a window:
Closing power windows are dangerous. A person's hands, head, or even neck could be caught by the window and result in serious injury or even death.
This warning applies especially to children.
Always lock all passenger power windows with the power window lock switch on the driver's side while children are in the vehicle, and never allow children to play with power window switches, the advanced key or the keyless entry system:
Leaving the power window switches unlocked while children are in the vehicle is dangerous. Power window switches that are not locked with the power window lock switch would allow children to operate power windows unintentionally which could result in serious injury if a child's hands, head or neck becomes caught by the window.
Letting children play with advanced keys or keyless entry systems are just as dangerous.
CAUTION:
To prevent burning out the fuse and damaging the power window system, do not open or close more than three windows at once.
Operating the Front Power Windows
NOTE:
- Each passenger power window can be operated with each door switch when the power window lock switch on the driver's door is in the unlocked position.
- Each passenger power window can also be operated by the power window master control switches on the driver's door.
Owner master control switch
- The following functions can be performed for the front power windows using the power window master control switches on the driver's door or front passenger's door switch.
- Manual opening/closing.

Owner master control switch
Front passenger switch
Auto-opening/closing
To fully open a power window automatically, press the switch completely down.
To fully close the power window automatically, pull the switch completely up.
To stop the power window partway, pull or press the switch in the opposite direction and then release it.
NOTE:
(POWER WINDOW RESET PROCEDURE).
If the battery was disconnected during vehicle maintenance, or for other reasons such as a switch continues to be operated after the window is fully open/close, the power windows will not fully open and close automatically.
Resetting of the automatic function can be performed using the driver's master control switch or the front passenger door switch.
The power window auto function reset procedure can be done on one or both door switches. The power window auto function will only resume on the side that has been reset.
1. Switch the ignition ON.
2. Make sure that the power window lock switch located on the driver's door is not depressed.
3. Press the switch and fully open the power window.
4. Pull up the switch to fully close the power window and continue holding the switch for about 2 seconds after the window fully closes.
5. Repeat Steps 3-4 for the passenger power window.
6. Make sure that the power windows operate correctly using the door switches.
Jam-safe window
If a person's hands, head or an object blocks the window during the manual closing operation or the auto-closing operation, the window will stop and open halfway.
WARNING:
Make sure nothing blocks the window just before it reaches the fully closed position or while fully holding up the power window switch:
Blocking the power window just before it reaches the fully closed position or while fully holding up the power window switch is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function cannot prevent the window from closing all the way. If fingers are caught, serious injuries could occur.
NOTE:
- Depending on driving conditions, a closing power window could stop and start opening when the window feels a shock that is similar to something blocking it.
In the event the jam-safe function activates and the power window cannot be closed automatically, pull and hold the switch fully and the window will close.
- The jam-safe window function does not operate until the system is re-initialized.
Engine-off power window operation
The power window can be operated for about 40 seconds after the ignition is switched from ON to ACC or off with all doors closed. If either front door is opened, the power window will be inoperable.
NOTE:
For engine-off operation of the power window, the switch must be held up firmly throughout window closure because the auto-closing function will be inoperable.
Operating the Rear Power Windows
The power windows may be operated when the power window lock switch on the driver's door is in the unlocked position.
The rear power windows may be opened or closed using the power window master control switches on the driver's door.
To open the power window to the desired position, hold down the switch.
To close the power window to the desired position, pull up the switch.
PowerWindow Lock Switch
With the lock switch in the unlocked position (button not depressed), all power windows on each door can be operated.
With the lock switch in the locked position (button depressed), only the driver's side power window can be operated.
WARNING:
Unless a passenger needs to operate a power window, keep the power window lock switch in the locked position:
Unintentional power window operation is dangerous. A person's hands, head, or neck could be caught by the window and result in serious injury.
NOTE:
When the power window lock switch is in the locked position, the light on front passenger's power window switch turns off. The light may be difficult to see depending on the surrounding brightness.
Opening/Closing the Power Windows and the Moonroof from Outside
The front power windows and the moonroof can be opened or closed from outside the vehicle after the doors and the trunk lid are closed.
The front power windows may be operated remotely when the power window lock switch on the driver's door is in the lock or unlocked position.
WARNING:
Make sure the opening is clear before closing a window and the moonroof:
Closing power windows and the moonroof are dangerous. A person's hands, head, or even neck could be caught by the window or the moonroof and result in serious injury or even death.
This warning applies especially to children.
NOTE:
- The power windows and the moonroof cannot be opened or closed from outside the vehicle under the following condition:
- A door or the trunk lid is opened.
- The key is inserted into the ignition switch.
- The auxiliary key is inserted into the key slot. (With advanced key) - The push button start is in any position except off. (With advanced key) - The power windows and the moonroof may not close completely. Make sure all the windows and the moonroof are closed.
If the power windows and the moonroof cannot be closed completely, operate each power window switch or the tilt/slide switch from inside the vehicle. After closing the windows and the moonroof from outside the vehicle, verify that they are completely closed.
Opening
Because nobody likes getting into a very hot car, Mazda has introduced a way to open the two front windows and the moonroof as you approach the vehicle to get the air moving before you get in.
WARNING:
Use the remote auto-window and the auto-moonroof function only when you can see the vehicle and it is in a secure area:
Do not let children play with your keys. If they open the window and moonroof without your knowing, the open windows and moonroof are an even bigger invitation to a thief than leaving the doors unlocked.
Children playing with cars can get themselves jammed in windows and moonroof, and killed without making a sound.
The windows and moonroof can be opened for ventilating the cabin before getting in the vehicle.
With unlock button
Press the unlock button on the transmitter once, then press again within 1.5 seconds and hold.
After the doors are unlocked, both windows and the moonroof open while the unlock button is pressed.
To stop the windows and the moonroof while opening, release the button.
If the operation is performed from the beginning again, the windows and the moonroof open.
