Bluetooth®Hands-Free outline
When a Bluetooth
®device (mobile phone) is connected to the vehicle's Hands-Free unit
via radio wave transmission, a call can be made or received by pressing the talk button,
pick-up button, hang-up button, or voice command on the steering wheel, or by operating
the panel. For example, even if a device (mobile phone) is in your coat pocket, a call can
be made without taking the device (mobile phone) out and operating it directly.
Bluetooth®audio outline
When a portable audio unit equipped with the Bluetooth
®communication function is
programmed to the Bluetooth®unit, you can listen to music recorded on the programmed
portable audio device from the vehicle's speakers. It is not necessary to connect the
portable audio device to the vehicle's external input terminal. After programming, operate
the vehicle audio control panel to play/stop the audio.

A2DP is a profile which transmits only
audio to the Bluetooth
®unit. If your
Bluetooth®audio device corresponds only
to A2DP, but not AVRCP, you cannot
operate it using the control panel of the
vehicle's audio system. In this case, the
Bluetooth
®audio device can be operated
by controlling the device itself, the same
as when a portable audio system without
the Bluetooth
®communication function is
connected to the AUX terminal.

device.
lThe battery consumption of Bluetooth®
audio devices is higher while Bluetooth®is
connected.
lIf a general mobile phone device is USB
connected during music playback over the
Bluetooth
®connection, the Bluetooth®
connection is disconnected. For this reason,
you cannot have music playback over a
Bluetooth

using a USB connection at the same time.
lThe system may not operate normally
depending on the Bluetooth®audio device.
qHow to Use the Bluetooth®
Audio System
Switching to Bluetooth®audio mode
To listen to music or voice audio recorded
to a Bluetooth
®audio device, switch to
the Bluetooth®audio mode to operate the
audio device using the audio system
control panel. Any Bluetooth
®audio
device must be programmed to the
vehicle's Bluetooth
®unit before it can be
used.
Refer to Bluetooth® Preparation on page
5-81.
1. Switch the ignition to ACC or ON.
2. Turn on the Bluetooth
®audio device's
power.
Make sure that the“
”symbol is
displayed in the audio unit's display.
NOTE
Some Bluetooth®audio devices need a certain
amount of time before the“
”symbol is
displayed in the audio unit's display.

qTire Inflation Pressure
WARNING
Always inflate the tires to the correct
pressure:
Overinflation or underinflation of
tires is dangerous. Adverse handling
or unexpected tire failure could result
in a serious accident.
Refer to Tires on page 9-7.
Use only a Mazda-genuine tire valve
cap:
Use of a non-genuine part is
dangerous as the correct tire air
pressure cannot be maintained if the
tire valve becomes damaged. If the
vehicle is driven under this condition,
the tire air pressure will decrease
which could result in a serious
accident. Do not use any part for the
tire valve cap that is not a Mazda-
genuine part.
Inspect all tire pressures monthly
(including the spare) when the tires are
cold. Maintain recommended pressures
for the best ride, handling, and minimum
tire wear.
Refer to the specification charts (page
9-7).
After adjusting the tire pressure,
initialization of the tire pressure
monitoring system is necessary to make
the system operates normally.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization on page 4-119.NOTE
lAlways check tire pressure when tires are
cold.
lWarm tires normally exceed recommended
pressures. Do not release air from warm
tires to adjust the pressure.
lUnderinflation can cause reduced fuel
economy, uneven and accelerated tire wear,
and poor sealing of the tire bead, which
will deform the wheel and cause separation
of tire from rim.
lOverinflation can produce a harsh ride,
uneven and accelerated tire wear, and a
greater possibility of damage from road
hazards.
Keep your tire pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs inflating,
have it inspected.
qTire Rotation
WARNING
Rotate tires periodically:
Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining
good performance in handling and
braking, rotate the tires according to
the scheduled maintenance charts.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance on
page 6-4.

During rotation, inspect them for correct
balance.
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE ONLY)
spare tire in rotation.Forward
Also, inspect them for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combination of the following:
lIncorrect tire pressurelImproper wheel alignmentlOut-of-balance wheellSevere braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to
specification (page 9-7) and inspect the
lug nuts for tightness.
After adjusting the tire pressure,
initialization of the tire pressure
monitoring system is necessary to make
the system operates normally.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization on page 4-119.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial
tires that have an asymmetrical tread
pattern or studs only from front to
rear, not from side to side. Tire
performance will be reduced if
rotated from side to side.
qReplacing a Tire
WARNING
Always use tires that are in good
condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and
traction could result in an accident.
Replace all four tires at the same time:
Replacing just one tire is dangerous.
It could cause poor handling and
poor braking resulting in loss of
vehicle control. Mazda strongly
recommends that you replace all four
tires at the same time.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.
New treadTread wear indicator
Worn tread
You should replace the tire before the
band crosses the entire tread.
After adjusting the tire pressure,
initialization of the tire pressure
monitoring system is necessary to make
the system operates normally.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization on page 4-119.

Tire Maintenance
Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can cause tires to wear abnormally. Here are
some important maintenance points:
qTire Inflation Pressure
Inspect all tire pressure monthly (including the spare) when the tires are cold. Maintain
recommended pressures for the best ride, top handling, and minimum tire wear. Use the
pressures specified on the vehicle tire information placard or tire label for optimum service.
qTire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, rotate the tires every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or sooner if irregular
wear develops. During rotation, inspect them for correct balance.
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE ONLY)
spare tire in rotation.Forward
Inspect the tires for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by one or a
combination of the following:
lIncorrect tire pressurelImproper wheel alignmentlOut-of-balance wheellSevere braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to specification (page 9-7) and inspect the lug nuts
for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires that have an asymmetrical tread pattern
or studs only from front to rear, not from side to side. Tire performance will be
weakened if rotated from side to side.

GCW (Gross Combination Weight)is the weight of the loaded vehicle (GVW).
GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating)is the maximum allowable weight of the
vehicle - including all cargo and passengers - that the vehicle can handle without risking
damage.The GCW must never exceed the GCWR.
WARNING
Exceeding GVWR or GAWR Specifications:
Exceeding the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label is dangerous.
Exceeding any vehicle rating limitation could result in a serious accident, injury, or
damage to the vehicle.
Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the originals
because they may lower the vehicle's GVWR and GAWR limitations. Replacement
tires with a higher limit than the originals do not increase the GVWR and GAWR
limitations.
Never exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label.
