ACCELERATOR PEDAL KICKDOWN 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.
H ILL L AUNCH A SSIST (HLA)
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,
HL A 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.
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.

FUEL ECONOMY
To achieve the best fuel economy:
•
Drive sensibly. Speeding, rapid acceleration
and excessive braking will lower fuel economy.
•
Observe the speed limit. Fuel economy can decrease rapidly
at speeds above 60 mph.
•
Keep tires properly inflated. Under-inflated tires will lower
fuel economy.
•
Use the recommended grade of oil specified in the owner’s
manual and keep the engine properly maintained. Visit your
Authorized Mazda Dealer who specializes in the servicing of
Mazda engines.
•
Monitor the Current Fuel Economy in the Information Display.
The current fuel economy is calculated every 2 seconds.
Additional items that also help increase fuel economy:
•
Remove excess weight. Heavy items in the vehicle will lower
fuel economy.
•
Avoid excessive idling. Idling for long periods will waste gas.
•
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on the highway helps to
maintain a constant speed and saves gas.
•
Use overdrive gears. Using overdrive gearing reduces the vehicle’s
engine speed, which saves gas and reduces engine wear.
•
Use a quality gasoline with the recommended octane. Use of higher
octane gasoline will not improve your fuel economy.

Headlights (cont’d from pg.13)
With AFS
Without AFS
NOTE:
•
With AFS, it is normal to see the headlights move and hear the sound of the
headlight leveling motors at the front of the vehicle when the ignition is ON.
•
The system will need to be reset if the vehicle battery has been disconnected
or the system fuse has been replaced. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for
easy to follow resetting instructions.
A DAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS) (if equipped)
The adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) automatically turns the
headlight beam to the right or left in conjunction with the direction of
the steering wheel.
The AFS improves the direction of headlight illumination while cornering, and
only works when the vehicle is moving.
Push AFS OFF to turn
system off or on. When off,
AFS OFF illuminates in the
instrument panel.

Tires
CAUTION: Using a wire brush, polishing
compound, solvent, or any type of abrasive
cleaner may damage the protective coating. www.MazdaUSA.com
T
IRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that detects low tire pressure in one or more tires. In the following cases,
the TPMS must be “initialized” so the system can operate normally.
• The tire pressure is adjusted (up or down) in one or more tires.
• A tire rotation is performed.
•
Any tire or wheel is replaced.
•
The vehicle’s battery is disconnected, replaced or completely dead.
Initialization Process (TPMS Warning Light is Illuminated):
1
Park the vehicle in a safe place and firmly apply the parking brake.
2
Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specified
pressure (See tire label located on the driver’s side B-pillar or edge
of driver’s door frame for specification) on all four (4) tires.
3
Switch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked.
4
Push and hold the TPMS “Set Switch” (left side of dash)
until the TPMS warning light
in the instrument cluster flashes twice
and a
beep sound is heard once.
NOTE: See Page 9 for TPMS switch location.
CAUTION: If the TPMS “Set Switch” is pushed without adjusting the tire
pressure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure. The TPMS
warning light may not illuminate, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may
illuminate if the tire pressure is normal.
ALUMINUM WHEEL CARE
Your aluminum wheels have a protective
coating on them. Only use a mild soap or
neutral detergent with a sponge or soft cloth
to clean them.

Mirrors
Auto-Dimming Mirror
•
Auto-dimming will automatically darken your rearview mirror to reduce
headlight glare from vehicles behind you.
•
Auto-dimming is activated every time the engine is started.
NOTE:
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 mirror 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.
NOTE:
Genuine Mazda Accessory Auto-Dimming Mirror with Compass and
Homelink is available at your Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Blind Spot Monitor
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 b SM System Off
Turning the BSM system off will turn off both the light and sound
indicators. 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.
Your Vehicle
Detection Areas
bLIND SPOT MONITORING (bSM) S YSTEM
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.
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.

Smart City Brake Support
23
SMART CITY bRAKE SUPPORT (SC bS) S YSTEM (if equipped)
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control (SCBS)
when the system’s laser sensor detects a vehicle ahead:
• When your vehicle speed is 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h).
• The system determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead
is unavoidable.
•
It may be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than 9.3 mph (15 km/h).
•
When the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system is in the
operation range at about 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h), the brakes are
applied firmly and quickly to assist. (SCBS Automatic Brake is displayed
in the Multi-information Display)
•
SCBS automatic brake is released approximately 2 seconds after the
vehicle comes to a stop.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
Laser Sensor
SCBS system can
be turned off using
DSC Off button.
