NOTE:
• With AFS, it is normal to see the headlights move and hear the sound of the
headlight leveling motors at the front of the vehicle when the ignition is ON.
• The system will need to be reset if the vehicle battery has been disconnected
or the system fuse has been replaced. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for
easy to follow resetting instructions.
ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS) (if equipped)
The adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) automatically turns the
headlight beam to the right or left in conjunction with the direction of
the steering wheel.
The AFS improves the direction of headlight illumination while cornering, and
only works when the vehicle is moving.
Push AFS OFF to turn
system off or on. When off,

Tires
CAUTION: Using a wire brush, polishing
compound, solvent, or any type of abrasive
cleaner may damage the protective coating.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that detects low tire pressure in one or more tires. In the following cases,
the TPMS must be “initialized” so the system can operate normally.
• The tire pressure is adjusted (up or down) in one or more tires.
• A tire rotation is performed.
• Any tire or wheel is replaced.
• The vehicle’s battery is disconnected, replaced or completely dead.
Initialization Process (TPMS Warning Light is Illuminated):
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place and firmly apply the parking brake.
2 Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specified
pressure (See tire label located on the driver’s side B-pillar or edge
of driver’s door frame for specification) on all four (4) tires.
3 Switch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked.
4 Push and hold the TPMS “Set Switch” (left side of dash)
until the TPMS warning light
in the

instrument cluster flashes twice and a
beep sound is heard once.
NOTE: See Page 9 for TPMS switch location.
CAUTION: If the TPMS “Set Switch” is pushed without adjusting the tire
pressure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure. The TPMS
warning light may not illuminate, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may
illuminate if the tire pressure is normal.

ALUMINUM WHEEL CARE
Your aluminum wheels have a protective
coating on them. Only use a mild soap or
neutral detergent with a sponge or soft cloth
to clean them.

Mirrors
Auto-Dimming Mirror
• Auto-dimming will automatically darken your rearview mirror
to reduce headlight glare from vehicles behind you.
• Auto-dimming is activated every time the engine is started.
NOTE:
In addition to the auto-dimming mirror’s rear light sensor, there is also a front
light sensor (not shown). Do not place or hang any objects over the front or rear mirror
light sensors; otherwise, the auto-dimming mirror will not operate properly.
HomeLink®
• This feature provides a convenient way to replace up to three
transmitters such as garage door openers, home lighting remotes
and other radio frequency devices.
• Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete programming details.
NOTE:
Genuine Mazda Accessory Auto-Dimming Mirror with Compass and
Homelink is available at your Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Blind Spot Monitoring
NOTE: Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over
your shoulder before changing lanes:
• The BSM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the
surroundings, but is not a complete substitute.
• The driver is responsible for ensuring safe lane changes and other maneuvers.
• Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.
• The BSM system does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about
20 mph (32 km/h).
Turning BSM System Off
Turning the BSM system off will turn off both the light and sound
indicators. To manually turn the BSM system off, push the BSM
OFF switch on the dash. The BSM OFF indicator will illuminate
in the instrument cluster when the BSM system is off. The BSM
system will automatically turn on the next time the vehicle is started.
Your Vehicle
Detection Areas
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver
by monitoring the blind spots to the rear of the vehicle on both sides.
• If your vehicle speed is 20 mph (32 km/h) or more, the BSM will
warn you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the
BSM warning lights located on the left and right door mirrors.
• If you operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM warning
light, the system will also warn you with a beep and warning light flash.
• BSM sensors are located under the left and right rear bumper
areas. The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear
bumper gets too dirty, so keep the rear bumper area clean.
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
