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

NOTE: Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over
your shoulder before changing lanes:
• The BSM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the surroundings,
but is not a complete substitute.
• The driver is responsible for ensuring safe lane changes and other maneuvers.
• Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.
• The BSM system does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about
20 mph (32 km/h).
Turning BSM System Off
To manually turn the BSM system off, push the BSM OFF switch on the dash.
The BSM OFF indicator will illuminate in the instrument cluster when the BSM
system is off. The BSM system will automatically turn on the next time the
vehicle is started.

B LIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver
by monitoring the blind spots to the rear of the vehicle on both sides.
• If your vehicle speed is 20 mph (32 km/h) or more, the BSM will warn
you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the BSM warning
lights located on the left and right door mirrors.
• If you operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM
warning light, the system will also warn you with a beep and warning
light flash.
• BSM sensors are located under the left and right rear bumper areas.
The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper gets too
dirty, so keep the rear bumper area clean.
