ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
Vehicle Starting:
Your vehicle is equipped with SKYACTIV combustion technology. This
technology includes AWS (Accelerated Warm-up System) for optimal
emission performance during cold starting conditions.
Cold Start (e.g., First start of the day on cold mornings):
Depress the brake (Automatic Trans.) or clutch (Manual Trans.), when the
key indicator light turns green
push the START/STOP button.
What you will notice: On start-up, the engine speed and sound are
higher (1500 RPM) for 30 seconds to 1 minute to quickly bring the catalyst
to efficient operating temperature. The RPM will reduce to idle once the
temperature is achieved. This is normal engine operation under cold
start conditions.
NOTE:
Yo u can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
Normal Start
(Emission components within optimal temperature range):
Depress the brake (Automatic Trans.) or clutch (Manual Trans.), when the
key indicator light turns green
push the START/STOP button.
Key
STARTING THE ENGINE
While Carrying the Key…
• Start the engine by pushing the START/STOP button, while
pushing the clutch pedal (manual transmission) or the brake pedal

or the brake pedal (A / T) is pushed. If the KEY warning light illuminates
RED , or the START/STOP button indicator light flashes AMBER , this
could indicate a problem with the engine starting system and the inability
to start the engine or switch the ignition to ACC or ON. Have your vehicle
inspecte d at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

drop and may turn the TPMS warning light on. If the warning light comes on, check the tire
pressure and fill the tires as soon as possible, preferably before moving the vehicle and
warming up the tires. Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.

coolant temperature.
Red Coolant Temp Light
Flashing: Engine is starting to run hot.
Drive slowly to reduce engine load.
On: Engine is overheating. Safely pull over to
the side of the road and turn the engine off.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more information.
Blue Coolant Temp Light

ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) CONTROL
A AS will automatically adjust how and when the transmission shifts gears
based on road conditions and your driving style.
The transmission may stay in a lower gear longer than usual when going up
or down hills or driving around corners. This feature gives you better control
and a more connected driving experience.
6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
• Push the clutch pedal completely down
to start the engine and to shift gears.
• To place the transmission in Reverse, place
shifter in the neutral position, push the shifter
knob down, move to the left and push forward.
www.MazdaUSA.com
HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA)
HL A helps assist you when accelerating
the vehicle from a stop while on a hill
or slope.
When the brake pedal is released and the accelerator pedal is pushed,
HL A prevents the vehicle from rolling forward or backward. It operates
on a downward slope when the shift lever is in the reverse (R) position,
and on an upward slope when the shift lever is in a position other than
the reverse (R) position.
NOTE: The HL A system will hold the vehicle for a maximum of 2.0 seconds
while the driver is changing from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL KICKDOWN SWITCH*
The accelerator pedal is equipped with a kickdown
switch to give the driver more control and to improve
fuel economy.
When you depress the accelerator 95% of the way,
you will feel an increase in resistance. Push harder,
and you will feel a click as you activate the kickdown
switch. The transmission will usually downshift (depending
on engine speed) and the engine will switch to maximum
power mode. This kickdown switch function is the same in
both Manual mode and in “D”.
*Available on vehicles with automatic transmission only.

FUEL ECONOMY
To achieve the best fuel economy:
• Drive sensibly. Speeding, rapid acceleration
and excessive braking will lower fuel economy.
• Observe the speed limit. Fuel economy can decrease rapidly
at speeds above 60 mph.
• Keep tires properly inflated. Under-inflated tires will lower
fuel economy.
• Use the recommended grade of oil specified in the owner’s
manual and keep the engine properly maintained. Visit your
Authorized Mazda Dealer who specializes in the servicing of
Mazda engines.
• Monitor the Current Fuel Economy in the Information Display.
The current fuel economy is calculated every 2 seconds.
Additional items that also help increase fuel economy:
• Remove excess weight. Heavy items in the vehicle will lower
fuel economy.
• Avoid excessive idling. Idling for long periods will waste gas.
• Use cruise control. Using cruise control on the highway
helps to maintain a constant speed and saves gas.
• Use overdrive gears. Using overdrive gearing reduces the vehicle’s
engine speed, which saves gas and reduces engine wear.
• Use a quality gasoline with the recommended octane. Use of
higher octane gasoline will not improve your fuel economy.
