Bluetooth®audio device programming
Any Bluetooth
®audio device must be
programmed to the vehicle's Bluetooth®
unit before it can be listened to over the
vehicle's speakers.
A maximum of seven devices including
Bluetooth
®audio devices and hands-free
mobile phones can be programmed to one
vehicle. NOTE
lAlways perform Bluetooth®audio device
programming while the vehicle is stopped.
lIf a Bluetooth®device has already been
programmed to the vehicle as a hands-free
mobile phone, it does not need to be
programmed again when using the device
as a Bluetooth
®audio device. Conversely, it
does not need to be programmed again as a
hands-free mobile phone if it has already
been programmed as a Bluetooth
®audio
device.
lLook around to be sure other likely
Bluetooth®audio devices are not in range
when you start to program. If in doubt,
move your car to another location. The
transmission range of a Bluetooth
®audio
device is about 10 m (32 ft). Therefore, if
there is another Bluetooth
®audio device
within a 10 m (32 ft) radius of the vehicle,
the device may be identified and
programmed instead.
lDevice registration can also be done using
voice recognition (page 6-122).
Concerning the operation of a Bluetooth®
audio device itself, refer to its instruction
manual.
Some Bluetooth
®audio devices have PIN
codes (four digits). Refer to the audio
device's instruction manual because the
programming procedure differs depending
on whether it has a PIN code or not.
Programming a Bluetooth®audio
device which has a four-digit PIN code
1. Using the audio control dial, select the pairing program mode
“PAIR DEVICE ”in the “BT SETUP”
mode. (Refer to “Bluetooth
®audio
device set-up ”for details.)

Voice recognition related problemsSymptom Cause Solution method
Poor voice recognition
lExcessive, slow speech.lExcessive, forceful speech
(shouting).
lSpeaking before the beep sound
has ended.
lLoud noise
(speaking or noise from outside/
inside vehicle).
lAirflow from A/C is blowing
against the microphone.
lSpeaking in off-standard
expressions (dialect). Regarding the causes indicated on
the left, be careful with how you
speak. In addition, when numbers are
spoken in a sequence, recognition
ability will improve if no stop is
placed between the numbers.
False recognition of numbers
Names in the phonebook are not
easily recognized
The Bluetooth
®system is under a
condition in which recognition is
difficult. By carrying out the following
measures, the rate of recognition will
improve.
lClear memory from the
phonebook which is not used
very often.
lAvoid shortened names, use full
names.
(Recognition improves the longer
the name is. By not using names
such as
“Mom ”, “Dad ”, recogni-
tion will improve.)
You want to skip guidance ―Guidance can be skipped by quickly
pressing and releasing the Talk
button.
When the Talk button is pressed,
voice recognition ends The Talk button is pressed for too
long. Operate the Talk button as follows:
lPress the button and release it
within 0.7 seconds to start voice
recognition and skip the
guidance.
lPress the button for longer than
0.7 seconds to turn off voice
recognition or end a
conversation.
Regarding problems with calls
Symptom Cause Solution method
When starting a call, vehicle noise
from the other party can be heard For about three seconds after starting
a call, the Bluetooth
®unit's Noise
Suppression function requires time to
adapt to the call environment. This does not indicate a problem
with the device.
The other party cannot be heard or
the speaker's voice is quiet The volume is set at zero or low. Increase the volume.

Overheating
If the High engine coolant temperature
warning light illuminates, the vehicle
loses power, or you hear a loud knocking
or pinging noise, the engine is probably
too hot.
WARNING
Switch the ignition to off and
make sure the fan is not running before
attempting to work near the cooling
fan: Working near the cooling fan when it
is running is dangerous. The fan
could continue running indefinitely
even if the engine has stopped and
the engine compartment temperature
is high. You could be hit by the fan
and seriously injured.
Do not remove the cooling
system cap when the engine and
radiator are hot:
When the engine and radiator are
hot, scalding coolant and steam may
shoot out under pressure and cause
serious injury.
Open the hood ONLY after steam is no
longer escaping from the engine: Steam from an overheated engine is
dangerous. The escaping steam could
seriously burn you.
If the High engine coolant temperature
warning light illuminates:
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way. 2. Put a vehicle with an automatic
transaxle in park (P), a manual
transaxle in neutral.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Turn off the air conditioner.
5. Check whether coolant or steam is escaping from under the hood or from
the engine compartment.
If steam is coming from the engine
compartment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle.
Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then
open the hood and start the engine.
If neither coolant nor steam is
escaping:
Open the hood and idle the engine until
it cools.
CAUTION
If the cooling fan does not operate
while the engine is running, the
engine temperature will increase.
Stop the engine and call an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
6. Make sure the cooling fan is operating, then turn off the engine after the
temperature has decreased.
7. When cool, check the coolant reservoir level.
If it's low, look for coolant leaks from
the radiator and hoses.

CAUTION
ØUse the cold scale only as a
reference.
Ø If outside temperature is lower
than about 20 °C (70 °F), start the
engine and inspect the fluid level
after the engine reaches operating
temperature.
Ø If the vehicle has been driven for
an extended period at high speeds
or in city traffic in hot weather,
inspect the level only after
stopping the engine and allowing
the fluid to cool for 30 minutes.
Fully insert the dipstick. When adding
fluid, inspect with the dipstick to make
sure it does not pass full.
NOTE
Inspect the fluid on both sides of the dipstick in
a well lit area for an accurate reading.
Washer Fluid
q Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
WARNING
Use only windshield washer fluid or
plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the
windshield, affect your visibility, and
could result in an accident.
Using Washer Fluid Without Anti-freeze
Protection in Cold Weather: Operating your vehicle in
temperatures below 4 degrees C (40
degrees F) using washer fluid without
anti-freeze protection is dangerous
as it could cause impaired windshield
vision and result in an accident. In
cold weather, always use washer
fluid with anti-freeze protection.
NOTE
State or local regulations may restrict the use
of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which
are commonly used as anti-freeze agents in
washer fluid. A washer fluid with limited VOC
content should be used only if it provides
adequate freeze resistance for all regions and
climates in which the vehicle will be operated.

NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used on the road. It is recommended that tires
generally be replaced when they are 6 years or older. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high
loading conditions can accelerate the aging process. You should replace the spare tire when you
replace the other road tires due to the aging of the spare tire. The period in which the tire was
manufactured (both week and year) is indicated by a 4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 9-23.
qSafety Practices
The way you drive has a great deal to do with your tire mileage and safety. So cultivate
good driving habits for your own benefit.
lObserve posted speed limitslAvoid fast starts, stops and turnslAvoid potholes and objects on the roadlDo not run over curbs or hit the tire against the curb when parking
CAUTION
If you feel a sudden vibration or ride disturbance while driving or you suspect your
tire or vehicle has been damaged, immediately reduce your speed. Drive with caution
until you can safely pull off the road. Stop and inspect the tire for damage. If the tire
is under-inflated or damaged, deflate it, remove the tire and rim and replace it with
your spare tire. If you cannot detect a cause, have the vehicle towed to the nearest
vehicle or tire dealer to have the vehicle inspected.
