Precautions/System Performance
Voice guidance has the following functions:
nIntersection guidance
l
The system voice announces the distance to an upcoming turn and the turning direction.
This guidance function is automatic. Therefore, you do not have to set it, and it cannot be
disabled.
l The system vocally announces the distance to an upcoming highway branching point or
intersection.
Voice Guidance
l The navigation system is just a support system for the driver. The driver should
always pay attention to the traffic situation to safely make decisions. You may
be unable at times to arrive at your destination due to out-of-date information
on a map disc. You should be especially careful when selecting an urgent
destination such as a hospital or a police station.
l Your route may sometimes include roads that are not open to vehicles or are
closed due to traffic regulations. Please comply with the local traffic
regulations.
l Do not change the settings and destination locations while driving. Minimize
the time spent viewing the monitor screen and listening to the voice guidance
while driving. Operating the system will distract the driver from looking ahead
of the vehicle and may cause an accident. Always stop the vehicle in a safe
location and use the parking brake before operating the system.
When two intersections are close together, the
voice guidance may be late. When two roundabouts are close together, the
voice guidance for the second may be late.

If necessary
GPS is a position detecting system utilizing the signals
from GPS satellites deployed by the U.S. Department of
Defense. The Mobile Navigation System uses input from
three or more satellites and calculates the vehicle position
based on the principle of triangulation.
The positioning accuracy of the system corresponds to the
error display of the GPS which is from about 30 to 200 meters
(98 to 656 ft)
.
l If you are using the system for the first time, or if you have not used it for some time, it takes
about 5 minutes (or about 2 minutes in open areas) to calculate your vehicle’s position.
nGPS signal reception is poor in the following places
lThe GPS satellites are controlled by the U.S. Defense Department, which may intentionally
lower positioning accuracy. In such cases, there may be vehicle position deviations.
l There may be vehicle position deviations for some time until GPS signals are received after
switching on the ignition.
This function compares your vehicle’s tracking data with the road data on the map
disc, applies dead reckoning to determine the road you are driving on, and displays
your vehicle on that road on the map.
l Intelligent map matching addresses the following problems to achieve high accuracy in
vehicle positioning.
Position Correction for Elevated RoadsPosition accuracy is improved by detecting if the vehicle is
running on or under an elevated road.
Position Correction for Parking GaragesPosition accuracy is improved by detecting if the vehicle is
driving in an elevated or underground parking garage.
High-precision GyrosensorA gyro detects turns with an accuracy of 0.05° per second.
Combined with a speed sensor, it enables the system to
display the current vehicle position even where GPS signals
may be blocked.
l Using a spare tire in place of the regular one may cause vehicle position deviations.
l Any difference between the direction which your vehicle actually travels and that shown on
the map is automatically eliminated by azimuth correction.

nWhat is Bluetooth Audio?
By pairing portable audio devices equipped with the Bluetooth communication function to the
vehicle’s Bluetooth unit, you can listen to music or audio recorded on these audio devices
from the vehicle’s speakers.
After pairing, operate the audio system’s control panel or the navigation system to play/stop
the music or audio.
Bluetooth version : Ver. 2.0 or higher Profile Audio profile
Response profile
• HFP (Hands Free Profile) Ver. 1.0/1.5
• DUN (Dial-up Networking Profile) Ver. 1.1
• PBAP (Phone Book Access Profile) Ver. 1.0
• A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) Ver. 1.2
• AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) Ver. 1.0/1.3
• OPP (Object Push Profile) Ver. 1.0
A2DP is a profile which transmits only audio to the Bluetooth unit. If your Bluetooth audio
device corresponds only to A2DP, but not AVRCP, you cannot operate it using the control
panel of the vehicle’s audio or navigation systems. In this case, the Bluetooth audio device
can be operated by controlling the device itself, the same as when a portable audio system
without the Bluetooth communication function is connected to the AUX terminal.
Operating the Bluetooth Audio
Always pair audio devices to the Bluetooth audio system while the vehicle is
stopped.
Because only specified Bluetooth audio devices can be used, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer when purchasing or changing devices.
Bluetooth audio devices which correspond to specified Bluetooth versions and
profiles can be Bluetooth-connected to the vehicle’s Bluetooth unit, however, even
among these devices are ones which cannot be Bluetooth-connected or have
limited functionality. Each device to be used with the vehicle’s Bluetooth unit
needs to be checked individually for compatibility. Consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer concerning device compatibility.

Bluetooth Hands-Free
nWhat is Bluetooth Hands-Free?
By connecting a Bluetooth equipped mobile telephone to the hands-free un\
it equipped on the
vehicle, making and receiving calls are possible using the voice recognition switch, Pick-up
button and Hang-up button located on the steering wheel, and saying the voice commands.
A Bluetooth equipped mobile telephone communicates with the hands-free unit equipped on
the vehicle using radio transmission (Bluetooth).
For example, if the mobile telephone is placed in a coat pocket, the phone calls can be made
through your mobile service without direct use of the mobile telephone.
Refer to the “Bluetooth Hands-Free” in the owner’s manual.
The types of mobile phones which can be connected to the hands-free unit are limited, so
before purchasing or changing your mobile phone model, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
Mobile phones which can be connected to the hands-free system need to be compliant with
Bluetooth specifications and the appropriate profile, however, even among these Bluetooth
phones are some which will not connect with your Mazda or will have limited function.
Therefore, consult Mazda Bluetooth Hands-Free Customer Service for information regarding
mobile phone compatibility:
• Phone : 800-430-0153
• Web : www.MazdaUSA.com/bluetooth
Applicable Bluetooth specification: Ver. 2.0 or higher
Response profile
• HFP (Hands Free Profile) Ver. 1.0/1.5
• DUN (Dial-up Networking Profile) Ver. 1.1
• PBAP (Phone Book Access Profile) Ver. 1.0
