Feature Highlights
AUTO -DIMMING MIRRORS AND HOME LINK®
•
Auto-dimming automatically darkens your
rearview mirror and driver side door mirror
to reduce headlight glare from the vehicles
behind you.
• Auto-dimming is activated every time the
vehicle is started.
NOTE:
•
The driver side door mirror will appear to have a halo, or ring, around the outer
edge of the mirror surface. This is actually the electrical circuitry that allows the
mirror to dim. This is normal operation of the mirror.
• In addition to the auto-dimming mirror’s rear light sensor, there is also a
front light sensor (not shown). Do not place or hang any objects over the
front or rear mirror light sensors; otherwise, the auto-dimming mirrors will
not operate properly.
HomeLink®
• This feature provides a convenient way to replace up to three
transmitters such as garage door openers, home lighting remotes
and other radio frequency devices.
• Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete programming details.
Genuine Mazda Accessory Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror with
Compass and HomeLink® is available at your Authorized Mazda
Dealer if your vehicle is not equipped with system.

S PORT A/T MANUAL SHIFT MODE
The Sport A/T Manual Shift Mode gives you
the feel of driving a manual transmission by
allowing you to manually shift to control engine
rpm and torque when more control is desired.
To Use Manual Shift Mode:
• Shift lever from D to M.
NOTE:
Changing to manual mode
can be done while driving the vehicle.
To Shift Up To A Higher Gear:
• Tap shift lever back (+) once.
To Shift Down To A Lower Gear:
• Tap shift lever forward (-) once.
The transmission will automatically adjust how and when it shifts gears
based on road conditions and your driving style. The transmission may stay
in a lower gear longer than usual when going up or down hills or driving
around corners. This feature gives you better control and a more connected
driving experience. www.MazdaUSA.com
