NOTE
  When the ignition is switched off,
the condition before the system
was turned off is maintained.
For example, if the ignition is
switched OFF while the Blind
Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear

WARNING
Always check the surrounding area visually before actually putting the vehicle in
reverse:
The system is only designed to assist you in checking for vehicles at the rear when
putting the vehicle in reverse. Due to certain limitations with the operation of this
system, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning light may not fl ash or it might be
delayed even though a vehicle is behind your vehicle. Always make it your responsibility
as a driver to check the rear.
NOTE
  In the following cases, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light turns
on and operation of the system is stopped. If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF
indicator light remains illuminated, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorised Mazda
Dealer as soon as possible.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
  Under the following conditions,
the radar sensor (front) may not
be able to detect vehicles ahead
or obstructions correctly and each
system may not operate normally.
 


 The rear surface of a vehicle
ahead does not refl ect radio waves
effectively, such as an unloaded
trailer or an automobile with a
loading platform covered by a
soft top, vehicles with a hard
plastic tailgate, and round-shaped
vehicles.
 


 Vehicles ahead with low vehicle
height and thus less area for
refl ecting radio waves.




 Visibility is reduced due to a
vehicle ahead casting off water,
snow, or sand from its tyres and
onto your windscreen.
 


 The luggage compartment is
loaded with heavy objects or the
rear passenger seats are occupied.
 


 Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front
surface of the front emblem.
 


 During inclement weather such as
rain, snow, or sand storms.
 


 When driving near facilities or
objects emitting strong radio
waves.
NOTE
  Under the following conditions,
the radar sensor (front) may not
be able to detect vehicles ahead or
obstructions.
 


 The beginning and end of a curve.



 Roads with continuous curves.



 Narrow lane roads due to road
construction or lane closures.
 


 The vehicle ahead enters the radar
sensor's blind spot.
 


 The vehicle ahead is running
abnormally due to accident or
vehicle damage.
 


 Roads with repeated up and down
slopes
 


 Driving on poor roads or unpaved
roads.
 


 The distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead is extremely
short.
 


 A vehicle suddenly comes close
such as by cutting into the lane.


 To prevent incorrect operation of
the system, use tyres of the same
specifi ed size, manufacturer, brand,
and tread pattern on all four wheels.
In addition, do not use tyres with
signifi cantly different wear patterns
or tyre pressures on the same vehicle
(Including the temporary spare tyre).
  If the battery power is weak, the
system may not operate correctly.
  When driving on roads with little
traffi c and few vehicles ahead or
obstructions for the radar sensor to
detect, Smart Brake Support/Smart
City Brake Support (SBS/SCBS)
Warning Light (amber) temporarily
illuminates, however, this does not
indicate a problem.

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.

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.

Audio System
NOTE
  To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the audio
system on for a long period of time
when the engine is not running.
  If a cellular phone or CB radio is
used in or near the vehicle, it could
cause noise to occur from the audio
system, however, this does not
indicate that the system has been
damaged.
Do not spill any liquid on the audio
system.
Do not insert any objects, other than CDs,
into the slot.
Radio Reception
AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as
buildings or mountains and bounce off the
ionosphere.
Therefore, they can reach longer distances
than FM signals.
Because of this, two stations may
sometimes be picked up on the same
frequency at the same time.
Station 2 Station 1Ionosphere
FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about
40—50 km (25—30 miles) from the
source. Because of extra coding needed to
break the sound into two channels, stereo
FM has even less range than monaural
(non-stereo) FM.
