ACCELERATED WAR M-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
Vehicle Starting:
Your vehicle is equipped with SKYACTIV combustion technology. This
technology includes AWS (Accelerated Warm-up System) for optimal
emission performance during cold starting conditions.
Cold Start (e.g., First start of the day on cold mornings):
Depress the brake (Automatic Trans.) or clutch (Manual Trans.), when the key
indicator light turns green
(if equipped) push the START/STOP button.
What you will notice: On start-up, the engine speed and sound are
higher (1500 RPM) for 30 seconds to 1 minute to quickly bring the catalyst
to effcient operating temperature. The RPM will reduce to idle once the
temperature is achieved. This is normal engine operation under cold
start conditions.
NOT E:
Yo u can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
Normal Start (Emission components within optimal
temperature range):
Depress the brake (Automatic Trans.) or clutch (Manual Trans.), when the
key indicator light turns green push the START/STOP button.

Transmission
MANUAL SHIFT MODE (if eq uipped)
The 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 Steering Shift Switches:
• Shift the lever from D or M.
To Shift Up To A
Higher Gear:
• Pull the steering
UP switch (+) once.
To Shift D own To A
Lower Gear:
• Pull the steering
DOWN switch (-) once.
- D OWN Shift
Switch+ UP Shift Switch
NOTE: Steering Shift Switches
can be used in “D” or “M”.
ACTIVE A DAPTI VE SHIFT (A AS) CONTROL
A AS will automatically adjust how and when the transmission 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.
(if equipped)
SPORT MOD E (if equipped)
SPORT mode allows greater response and
control when driving on mountain roads
as well as on freeways by adjusting the
transmission shift schedule.
Fuel consumption increases slightly because
higher engine speeds (i.e., lower gear position) are used in
Sports mode compared to normal mode. Use Sports mode
and normal mode depending on the road conditions and
situation. The SPORT mode indicator light in the instrument
cluster is illuminated while in SPORT mode and is not illuminated
while in normal mode.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL K ICKDOW N SWITCH*
The accelerator pedal is equipped with a
kickdown switch to give the driver more
control and to improve fuel economy.
When you depress the accelerator 95% of the
way, you will feel an increase in resistance.
Push harder, and you will feel a click as you
activate the kickdown switch. The transmission
will usually downshift (depending on engine
speed) and the engine will switch to maximum
power mode. This kickdown switch function is
the same in both Manual mode and in “D”.
*Available on vehicles with automatic transmission only.
NOTE: The HL A system will hold the vehicle for a maximum of 2.0 seconds
while the driver is changing from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
H ILL LAUNCH ASSI ST (H LA)
HL A helps assist you when
accelerating the vehicle from
a stop while on a hill or slope.
When the brake pedal is released
and the accelerator pedal is pushed, HLA prevents the vehicle from rolling
forward or backward. It operates on a downward slope when the shift lever
is in the reverse (R) position, and on an upward slope when the shift lever is
in a position other than the reverse (R) position.

i-ELOOP
i-ELOOP (if eq uipped)
The Mazda-unique regenerative braking system (i-ELOOP) generates and
stores electrical energy in a capacitor during deceleration. Through efcient
energy regeneration, storage, and usage, fuel economy is improved.
i-ELOOP Pre-Charge Mode
If the capacitor is discharged because of vehicle storage (the vehicle \
is parked
for long periods of time), the Multi-Information Display will display t\
he following
i-ELOOP warning message after engine startup:

warning alarm sound
When the warning message is displayed, do not drive the vehicle. Allow the
engine to idle until the warning message is no longer displayed. This time is
needed for normal generator operation.
NOTE:
• If the vehicle is jump started, leave the jumper cables connected
until the warning message is no longer displayed.
•
If the vehicle is driven while the warning is displayed, a warning
sound will be heard and power steering assist will be limited.
