How to Set the Distance Between
Vehicles During Headway Control
The distance between vehicles is set to a
shorter distance each time the
switch is
pressed. The distance between vehicles is
set to a longer distance by pressing the
switch. The distance-between-vehicles can
be set to 4 levels; Long, medium, short,
and extremely short distance.
Distance-between-
vehicles guideline
(at 80 km/h (50 mph)

Long (about 50 m (164
ft))
Medium (about 40 m
(131 ft))
Short (about 30 m (98
ft))
Extremely short (about
25 m (82 ft))
NOTE
  The distance between vehicles differs
depending on the vehicle speed, and
the slower the vehicle speed, the
shorter the distance.
  When the ignition is switched
to ACC or OFF and then the
engine is started again, the system
automatically sets the distance
between vehicles to the previous
setting.

NOTE
  The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system operates when all of the following conditions
are met:
 


 The ignition is switched ON.



 The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system is on.



 The vehicle speed is about 15 km/h or faster (10 mph or faster).



 The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is about 15 km/h or
faster (10 mph or faster).
 


 The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is not operating. 

 The Smart Brake Support (SBS) system may not operate under the following
conditions:
 


 If the vehicle is accelerated rapidly and it comes close to a vehicle ahead.



 The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.



 The accelerator pedal is depressed.



 The brake pedal is depressed.



 The steering wheel is being operated.



 The selector lever is being operated.



 The direction indicator is being used.



 When the vehicle ahead is not equipped with tail lights or the tail lights are turned
off.
 


 When warnings and messages, such as a dirty windscreen, related to the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC)/laser sensor (front) are being displayed in the centre display.
 
 Although the objects which activate the system are four-wheeled vehicles, the radar
sensor (front) could detect the following objects, determine them to be an obstruction,
and operate the Smart Brake Support (SBS) system.
 


 Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve (including guardrails and snow banks).



 A vehicle appears in the opposite lane while cornering or rounding a curve.



 When crossing a narrow bridge.



 When passing under a low gate or through a tunnel or narrow gate.

the cruise control could unexpectedly
activate if the activation button is
accidentally pressed, and result in loss
of vehicle control and an accident.
NOTE

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization
In the following cases, system
initialization must be performed so that the
system operates normally.
 


 A tyre pressure is adjusted.



 Tyre rotation is performed.



 A tyre or wheel is replaced.



 The battery is replaced or completely
drained.
 


 The tyre pressure monitoring system
warning light is illuminated.
Initialization method
1. Park the car in a safe place and fi rmly
apply the parking brake.
2. Let the tyres cool, then adjust the tyre
pressure of all four (4) tyres to the
specifi ed pressure indicated on the tyre
pressure label located on the door jamb
of the driver's door (door open).
Refer to Tyres on page 9-9 .
3. Switch the ignition ON.
4. While the vehicle is parked, press
and hold the tyre pressure monitoring
system set switch and verify that
the tyre pressure monitoring system
warning light in the instrument cluster
fl ashes twice and a beep sound is heard
once.
CAUTION
If the system initialization is performed
without adjusting the tyre pressure, the
system cannot detect the normal tyre
pressure and it may not illuminate the
tyre pressure monitoring system warning
light even if a tyre pressure is low, or
it may illuminate the light even if the
pressures are normal.
Adjust the tyre pressure on all four
tyres and initialize the system when
the warning light is turned on. If the
warning light turns on for a reason other
than a fl at tyre, the tyre pressure of all
four tyres may have decreased naturally.
The system initialization will not be
performed if the switch is pressed while
the vehicle is being driven.

Rear View Monitor
NOTE
  If water, snow, or mud is stuck on the camera lens, wipe it off using a soft cloth. If it
cannot be wiped off, use a mild detergent.
  If the camera temperature changes rapidly (Hot to cold, cold to hot), the rear view
monitor may not operate correctly.
  When replacing the tyres, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer. Replacing the tyres could result in deviation of the guide lines which
appear on the display.
  If the vehicle's front, side, or rear has been involved in a collision, the alignment of
the rear view parking camera (location, installation angle) may have deviated. Always
consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer to have the
vehicle inspected.
  If “No Video Signal Available” is indicated in the display, there could be a problem
with the camera. Have your vehicle inspected at an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Interior Features
Air-Conditioning System
Operating Tips
 












 Operate the air-conditioning system with
the engine running.
 


 To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
dial on for a long period of time with the
ignition switched ON when the engine is
not running.
 


(With i-stop)
 The airfl ow amount may decrease
slightly while the i-stop function is
operating.
 


 Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the bonnet and the
air inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system effi ciency.




 Use the air-conditioning system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
 


 The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while in
a traffi c jam, or when you would like to
shut off outside air for quick cooling of
the interior.
 


 Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windscreen defrosting.
 


 If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the air-conditioning system.
 


 Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes
at least once a month to keep internal
parts lubricated.
 


 Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
effi cient.

 The refrigerant specifi cations are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. Check
the label before refi lling the refrigerant.
If the wrong type of refrigerant is used,
it could result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.
  For details, consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
