Driving Tips
Rocking the Vehicle
WARNING
Do not spin the wheels at high speed,
and do not allow anyone to stand
behind a wheel when pushing the
vehicle:
When the vehicle is stuck, spinning
the wheels at high speed is dangerous.
The spinning tyre could overheat and
explode. This could cause serious
injuries.
CAUTION
Too much rocking may cause engine
overheating, transaxle failure, and tyre
damage.
If you must rock the vehicle to free it from
snow, sand or mud, depress the accelerator
slightly and slowly move the shift lever
from 1 (D) to R.
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tyre
chains, window scraper, fl ares, a small
shovel, jumper leads, and a small bag of
sand or salt.
Ask an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer to check the
following:
 


 Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the
radiator.
  Refer to Engine Coolant on page 6-29 .



 Inspect the battery and its leads. Cold
reduces battery capacity.
 


 Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that the
vehicle will be driven in (page 6-23 ).
 


 Inspect the ignition system for damage
and loose connections.
 


 Use washer fl uid made with antifreeze—
but do not use engine coolant antifreeze
for washer fl uid (page 6-32 ).

Wrench Indicator Light
When the ignition is switched ON, the
wrench indicator light is illuminated and
then turns off after a few seconds.
The wrench indicator light is illuminated
when the preset maintenance period
arrives. Verify the content and perform
maintenance.
Refer to Maintenance Monitor on page
6-15 .
SKYACTIV-D 1.5
The wrench indicator light turns on
when the engine oil has deteriorated, is
insuffi cient
* , is around the X mark on
the oil level gauge or reaches a position
exceeding the X mark.
Check the engine oil. Refer to Inspecting
Engine Oil Level on page 6-28 .
Replace the engine oil if the wrench
indicator light does not turn off even
though the engine oil level is in the normal
range.
NOTE
  Depending on the vehicle use
conditions, the wrench indicator light
may turn on for reasons other than
the preset maintenance period.
  Whenever the engine oil is replaced,
a reset of the vehicle engine control
unit necessary.
 Your Authorised Mazda Repairer will
be able to reset the engine control
unit or see page 6-27 for the Vehicle
engine control unit reset procedure.
Low Engine Coolant Temperature
Indicator Light (Blue)
The light illuminates continuously when
the engine coolant temperature is low and
turns off after the engine is warm.
If the low engine coolant temperature
indicator light remains illuminated after
the engine has been suffi ciently warmed
up, the temperature sensor could have a
malfunction. Consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.

When Driving
Diesel Particulate Filter (SKYACTIV-D 1.5)
Diesel Particulate Filter
(SKYACTIV-D 1.5)
The diesel particulate fi lter collects and
removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
PM collected by the diesel particulate
fi lter is cleared during normal driving,
however, PM may not be removed and the
diesel particulate fi lter indicator light may
illuminate under the following conditions:
 


 If the vehicle is driven at 15 km/h (9
mph) or less continuously.
 


 If the vehicle is repeatedly driven for a
short period of time (10 minute or less)
or driven while the engine is cold.
 


 If the vehicle is idled for a long time.
NOTE
The engine sound and exhaust gas smell
may change when PM is being removed
while driving.
Diesel Particulate Filter Indicator Light
When illuminated
The particulate matter (PM) cannot be
removed automatically and the amount of
collected PM reaches a specifi ed amount.
After the engine has suffi ciently warmed
up (engine coolant temperature of 80 °C
or more), depress the accelerator pedal and
drive the vehicle at a speed of 20 km/h
or more for about 15 to 20 minutes to
eliminate the PM. When fl ashing
Contact an expert repairer, we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is continually driven as
usual with the diesel particulate fi lter
indicator light illuminated, PM increases
and the indicator light may start fl ashing.
If the diesel particulate fi lter indicator
light starts fl ashing, have the vehicle
inspected immediately at an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer. If the vehicle is not
inspected and continues to be driven, the
engine may malfunction.
NOTE
When the diesel particulate fi lter
indicator light fl ashes, the engine
output is restricted to protect the diesel
particulate fi lter.

Interior Features
Air-Conditioning System
Recirculated air position ()
Outside air is shut off. Air within the
vehicle is recirculated.
Outside air position (
)
Outside air is taken into the vehicle. Use
this position for normal ventilation and
heating.
WARNING
Do not use the position in cold or
rainy weather:
Using the
position in cold or rainy
weather is dangerous as it will cause
the windows to fog up. Your vision will
be hampered, which could lead to a
serious accident.
Heating
1. Set the mode selector dial to the
position.
2. (Type A)
Set the air intake selector to the outside
air position.
(Type B)
Set the air intake selector to the
position.
3. Set the temperature control dial to the
hot position.
4. Set the fan control dial to the desired
speed.
5. If dehumidifi ed heating is desired, turn
on the air conditioner.
NOTE
  If the windscreen fogs up easily, set
the mode selector dial to the
position.  If cooler air is desired at face level,
set the mode selector dial to the
position and adjust the temperature
control dial to maintain maximum
comfort.
  The air to the fl oor is warmer than
air to the face (except when the
temperature control dial is set at the
extreme hot or cold position).
Cooling (With air conditioner)
1. Set the mode selector dial to the
position.
2. Set the temperature control dial to the
cold position.
3. Set the fan control dial to the desired
speed.
4. Turn on the air conditioner by pressing
the A/C switch.
5. After cooling begins, adjust the fan
control dial and temperature control
dial as needed to maintain maximum
comfort.
CAUTION
If the air conditioner is used while
driving up long hills or in heavy traffi c,
monitor the engine coolant temperature
warning light to see if it is illuminated or
fl ashing (page 4-36 ).
The air conditioner may cause engine
overheating. If the warning light is
illuminated or fl ashing, turn the air
conditioning off (page 7-29 ).
