Mazda CX-9 Owners Manual: Moonroof

The moonroof can be opened or closed when operating the overhead tilt/slide switch at the front seats.

WARNING

Do not let passengers stand up or extend part of the body through the open moonroof while the vehicle is moving: Extending the head, arms, or other parts of the body through the moonroof is dangerous. The head or arms could hit something while the vehicle is moving. This could cause serious injury or death.

In this case, the jam-safe function cannot prevent the moonroof from closing. If fingers are caught, serious injuries could occur.

CAUTION

• Do not sit on or put heavy items on the area where the moonroof opens and closes. Otherwise, the moonroof could be damaged.
• Do not open or close the moonroof forcefully during freezing temperatures or snowfall. Otherwise, the moonroof could be damaged.
• The sunshade does not tilt. To avoid damaging the sunshade, do not push it up.
• Do not close the sunshade while the moonroof is opening. Trying to force the sunshade closed could damage it.

Tilt/Slide Operation

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.

NOTE If the moonroof does not operate normally, do the following procedure:

1. Switch the ignition ON.

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

Jam-safe Moonroof

If a person's hands, head or an object blocks the moonroof while it is closing, the moonroof will stop and move in the open direction.

NOTE

• The jam-safe function may operate under the following conditions:
• A strong impact is detected while the moonroof is closing automatically.
• The moonroof is closing automatically during very low temperatures.
• In the event the jam-safe function activates and the moonroof cannot be closed automatically, press the tilt/slide switch and the moonroof will close.
• The jam-safe moonroof function does not operate until the system has been reset.

Sunshade

The sunshade can be opened and closed by hand.

The sunshade opens at the same time as the moonroof slides open, but it must be closed by hand.
