Starting the Engine
WARNING
Radio waves from the key may affect
medical devices such as pacemakers:
Before using the key near people who
use medical devices, ask the medical
device manufacturer or your physician
if radio waves from the key will affect
the device.
NOTE
  The key must be carried because the
key carries an immobilizer chip that
must communicate with the engine
controls at short range.
  The engine can be started when the
push button start is pressed from off,
ACC, or ON.
  The push button start system
functions (function which can start
the engine by only carrying the
key) can be deactivated to prevent
any possible adverse effect on a
user wearing a pacemaker or other
medical device. If the system is
deactivated, you will be unable
to start the engine by carrying the
key. Consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer for details. If the push
button start system functions have
been deactivated, you can start the
engine by following the procedure
indicated when the key battery goes
dead.

Monitoring System
Warning Light
*
If the tyre pressure monitoring system has a malfunction, the tyre pressure warning
light fl ashes for about 1 minute when the ignition is switched ON and then continues
illuminating. Have your vehicle checked by an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as possible.
WARNING

If the tyre pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or fl ashes, or the
tyre pressure warning beep sound is heard, decrease vehicle speed immediately and
avoid sudden manoeuvring and braking:
If the tyre pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or fl ashes, or the
tyre pressure warning beep sound is heard, it is dangerous to drive the vehicle at high
speeds, or perform sudden manoeuvring or braking. Vehicle drivability could worsen
and result in an accident.
To determine if you have a slow leak or a fl at, pull over to a safe position where you
can check the visual condition of the tyre and determine if you have enough air
to proceed to a place where air may be added and the system monitored again by
an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer or a tyre repair
station.
Do not ignore the TPMS Warning Light:
Ignoring the TPMS warning light is dangerous, even if you know why it is
illuminated. Have the problem taken care of as soon as possible before it develops
into a more serious situation that could lead to tyre failure and a dangerous accident.
(Red)
(Illuminate)

If Trouble Arises
Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
Seat Belt Warning Beep
Front seat
If the vehicle speed exceeds about 20
km/h (12 mph) with the driver or front
passenger's seat belt unfastened, a warning
beep sounds continuously. If the seat belt
remains unfastened, the beep sound stops
once and then continues for about 90
seconds. The beep stops after the driver or
front passenger's seat belt is fastened.
NOTE
  Some models do not have the seat
belt warning beep for the front
passenger's seat.
  Placing heavy items on the front
passenger seat may cause the front
passenger seat belt warning function
to operate depending on the weight
of the item.
  To allow the front passenger seat
weight sensor to function properly,
do not place and sit on an additional
seat cushion on the front passenger
seat. The sensor may not function
properly because the additional
seat cushion could cause sensor
interference.
  When a small child sits on the front
passenger seat, it is possible that the
warning beep will not operate.
Rear seat
The warning beep only sounds if a seat
belt is unfastened after being fastened.
