NOTE: You will need an audio cable with an 1/8 inch (3.5 mm)
mini stereo plug (available as a Genuine Mazda accessory) to
connect your portable audio player into the AUX jack.
I M P O R TA N T: • Set the volume level on your portable audio player to the highest level before
distortion starts, then use the vehicle’s audio system to adjust the volume.
• Unplug any device from the USB port and accessory socket before turning off
the vehicle. Leaving devices plugged in can drain the battery and cause issues
during the Bluetooth pairing process at startup. Wait about 15 seconds after
starting the vehicle before plugging anything into the USB port.
1 Locate the USB port or AUX jack.
2 Connect the device plug into the portable audio player and into the
USB port or AUX jack.
3 Turn the vehicle audio system on.

Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information.
PORTABLE AUDIO PLAYER INTEGRATION
USING THE USB PORT OR AUX JACK
Your vehicle is equipped with a USB port and
auxiliary AUX jack, conveniently located in the
center console, that allows you to play your iPod,
USB device, or portable audio player through the
vehicle’s audio system. The center console is useful
for storing your personal media/phone devices.
Learn the system when parked and do not let it
distract you while driving.
12 VOLT ACCESSORY SOCKETS
The accessory socket in the dash is on with ignition on and the accessor\
y socket
in the center console is always on.
NOTE: When using a USB memory stick, the system plays the first audio file when
restarting the vehicle. It does not start where it left off when turning off the engine.
NOTE: When using the accessory socket in the center console, make sure to
disconnect any device from it when turning off the ignition, otherwise the vehicle’s
battery could go dead.

to adjust the brightness.
GLOSSARY OF WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
Type A cluster is shown. Type B
cluster is similar, but with warning
lights in different locations.
*TPMS NOTE: Low ambient temperature and/or high altitude causes tire pressures to 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. Initialize system (p. 6). Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.
NOTE: See Owner’s Manual for more details and explanations.

i-ELOOP
NOTE: • If the vehicle is jump started, leave the jumper cables connected until the
warning message is no longer displayed.
• If the vehicle is driven while the warning screen is displayed, a warning sound
will be heard and power steering assist will be limited.
i-ELOOP (if equipped)
The Mazda-unique regenerative braking system (i-ELOOP) generates
and stores electrical energy in a capacitor during deceleration. Through
efficient energy regeneration, storage, and usage, fuel economy is
improved. To view i-ELOOP information, select Applications from
the Home screen, then scroll down to Fuel Economy Monitor.
i-ELOOP Pre-Charge Mode
If the capacitor is discharged because of vehicle storage (the vehicle \
is
parked for long periods of time), the i-ELOOP indicator in the instrume\
nt
cluster will flash and a
warning screen appears
on the screen of the
infotainment system.
When this warning screen appears, do not drive the
vehicle. Allow the engine to idle until the warning
screen disappears. This time is needed for normal
generator operation.
