Audio Operation
lUse discs that have been legitimately
produced. If illegally-copied discs such as
pirated discs are used, the system may not
operate properly.
l Be sure never to touch the signal surface
when handling the CDs. Pick up a CD by
grasping the outer edge or the edge of the
hole and the outer edge.
l Do not stick paper or tape on the CD.
Avoid scratching the reverse side (the side
without a label). The disc may not eject
resulting in a malfunction.
l Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can
decrease the amount of light reflected from
the signal surface, thus affecting sound
quality. If the CD should become soiled,
gently wipe it with a soft cloth from the
center of the CD to the edge.
l Do not use record sprays, antistatic
agents, or household spray cleaners.
Volatile chemicals such as benzine and
thinner can also damage the surface of the
CD and must not be used. Anything that
can damage, warp, or fog plastic should
never be used to clean CDs.
l Insert discs one by one. If two discs are
inserted at the same time, the system may
not operate properly.
l The In-dash CD changer ejects the CD if
the CD is inserted upside down. Also dirty
and/or defective CDs may be ejected.
l Do not insert any disc with a peel-off seal
affixed to it. Handling the In-dash CD changer
l
This unit may not be able to play certain
CD-R/CD-RWs made using a computer or
music CD recorder due to disc
characteristics, scratches, smudges, dirt,
etc., or due to dust or condensation on the
lens inside the unit.
l Storing CDs in the vehicle exposed to
direct sunlight or high temperature may
damage the CD-R/CD-RWs, and make
them unplayable.
l CD-R/CD-RW exceeding 700 MB cannot
be played.
l This unit may not be able to play certain
discs made using a computer due to the
application (writing software) setting used.
(For details, consult the store where the
application was purchased.)
l It is possible that certain text data, such as
titles, recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW may
not be displayed when musical data (CD-
DA) is playing.
l The period from when a CD-RW is
inserted to when it begins playing is longer
than a normal CD or CD-R.
l Completely read the instruction manual
and cautions for CD-R/CD-RWs.
l Do not use discs with cellophane tape
adhering, partially peeled off labels, or
adhesive material exuding from the edges
of the CD label. Also, do not use discs with
a commercially-available CD-R label
affixed. The disc may not eject resulting in
a malfunction.

Audio Operation
lThe liquid crystal display may not open if the power supply had been interrupted due to the
vehicle battery being disconnected.
l If the liquid crystal display stays open/closed (or partly opened) and does not move when
the liquid crystal display is pressed, switch the ignition switch and then on again. Then try
the open/close operation again. If the liquid crystal display still does not move, contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
The beep sound and voice guidance related to the audio operation are not heard while a
Bluetooth Hands-Free is being used.

the dashboard or spill liquid on it, it may result in system malfunction.
nBe careful not to pinch your hands or fingers when the liquid crystal
display is closed.
nDo not open/close the liquid crystal display manually. It may damage the
equipment.

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.
Yes: Available
No: Not available
Bluetooth is the registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG. Inc.
Note
l
It may not be possible to play a Bluetooth audio device if it is placed anywhere transmission
is compromised, such as inside a metal container or the trunk. Move the Bluetooth audio
device to a location where transmission is possible.
l Battery consumption of Bluetooth audio devices is higher while Bluetooth-connected.
l If a non-Bluetooth device is to be used, a commercially-available Bluetooth adapter is
required. When playing an audio device with a Bluetooth adapter installed, pairing of the
audio device may not be possible or audio may not be heard from the vehicle speakers if
the connection of the adapter and the device is poor. If this happens, check if the Bluetooth
adapter is properly connected.
nBluetooth audio device pairing
Any Bluetooth audio device must be paired 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 paired to one vehicle.
Note
lAlways perform Bluetooth audio device pairing while the vehicle is stopped.
l If a Bluetooth device has already been paired to the vehicle as a hands-free mobile phone,
it does not need to be paired again when using the device as a Bluetooth audio device.
Conversely, it does not need to be paired again as a hands-free mobile phone if it has
already been paired as a Bluetooth audio device.
l The transmission range of a Bluetooth audio device is about 10 m (32 ft).
l Therefore, if there is another Bluetooth audio device within a 10 m (32 ft) radius of the
vehicle, the device may be identified and paired instead.
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 pairing procedure differs depending on whether it has a PIN
code or not. Function A2DP A2DP+AVRCP

Bluetooth Hands-Free
nWhat is Bluetooth Hands-Free?By connecting a Bluetooth equipped mobile telephone to the hands-free unit 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:
