Adult *2 Off Ready Ready
*1 The occupant classifi cation sensor may not detect a child seated on the seat, in a child-restraint system, or a
junior seat depending on the child's physical size and seated posture.
*2 If a smaller adult sits on the front passenger seat, the sensors might detect the person as being a child depending
on the person's physique.
The curtain air bag is ready for infl ating regardless of what the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light on/off condition chart indicates.
If the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light does not turn on when the ignition
is switched ON and does not turn on as indicated in the front passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light on/off condition chart, do not allow an occupant to sit in the front passenger

WARNING
Do not allow an occupant in the front passenger's seat to sit with a posture which
makes it diffi cult for the front passenger occupant classifi cation sensor to detect the
occupant correctly:
Sitting in the front passenger's seat with a posture which makes it diffi cult for the front
passenger occupant classifi cation sensor to detect the occupant correctly is dangerous.
If the front passenger occupant classifi cation sensor cannot detect the occupant sitting
on the front passenger's seat correctly, the front passenger front and side air bags and
pretensioner system may not operate (deploy) or they may operate (deploy) accidentally.
The front passenger will not have the supplementary protection of the air bags or the
accidental operation (deployment) of the air bags could result in serious injury or death.
Under the following conditions, the front passenger occupant classifi cation sensor
cannot detect a passenger sitting on the front passenger's seat correctly and the
deployment/non-deployment of the air bags cannot be controlled as indicated in the
front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light on/off condition chart. For example:




¾ A front passenger is seated as shown in the following fi gure:

automatically unlock if they are locked
using the power door locks with any
door or the liftgate open.
  The vehicle lock-out prevention feature
does not operate while the ignition is

the driver that the key has been left in
the vehicle.
 


y(Door unlock (control) system with
collision detection)
  This system automatically unlocks the
doors in the event the vehicle is involved
in an accident to allow passengers to
get out of the vehicle immediately and
prevent being trapped inside. While the
ignition is switched ON and in the event
the vehicle receives an impact strong
enough to infl ate the air bags, all the
doors are automatically unlocked after
about 6 seconds have elapsed from the
time of the accident.
  The doors may not unlock depending on
how an impact is applied, the force of
the impact, and other conditions of the
accident.
  If door-related systems or the battery
is malfunctioning, the doors will not
unlock.
Locking, Unlocking with Key

Driving Tips
Break-In Period
No special break-in is necessary, but a
few precautions in the fi rst 1,000 km
(600 miles) may add to the performance,
economy, and life of the vehicle.
 


y Do not race the engine.



y Do not maintain one constant speed,
either slow or fast, for a long period of
time.
 


y Do not drive constantly at full-throttle or
high engine rpm for extended periods of
time.
 


y Avoid unnecessary hard stops.



y Avoid full-throttle starts.
Saving Fuel and
Protection of the
Environment
How you operate your Mazda determines
how far it will travel on a tank of fuel. Use
these suggestions to help save fuel and
reduce CO2.
 


y Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine
runs smoothly, begin driving.
 


y Avoid fast starts.



y Drive at lower speeds.



y Anticipate when to apply the brakes
(avoid sudden braking).
 


y Follow the maintenance schedule
(page 6-4 ) and have an Authorized
Mazda Dealer perform inspections and
servicing.
 


y Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
 


y Slow down on rough roads.



y Keep the tires properly infl ated.



y Do not carry unnecessary weight.



y Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal
while driving.
 


y Keep the wheels in correct alignment.



y Keep windows closed at high speeds.



y Slow down when driving in crosswinds
and headwinds.
WARNING
Never stop the engine when going down
a hill:
Stopping the engine when going
down a hill is dangerous. This causes
the loss of power steering and power
brake control, and may cause damage
to the drivetrain. Any loss of steering
or braking control could cause an
accident.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
.CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to assure correct operation of each system.
 


¾ Do not adhere stickers (including transparent stickers) to the surface of the radiator
grille and front emblem in and around the radar sensor (front), and do not replace
the radiator grille and front emblem with any product that is not a genuine product
designed for use with the radar sensor (front).
 


¾ The radar sensor (front) includes a function for detecting soiling of the radar sensor's
front surface and informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may
require time to detect or it may not detect plastic shopping bags, ice or snow. If this
occurs, the system may not operate correctly, therefore always keep the radar sensor
(front) clean.
 


¾ Do not install a grille guard.



¾ If the front part of the vehicle has been damaged in a vehicle accident, the position of
the radar sensor (front) may have moved. Stop the system immediately and always
have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 


¾ Do not use the front bumper to push other vehicles or obstructions such as when
pulling out of a parking space. Otherwise, the radar sensor (front) could be hit and its
position deviated.
 


¾ Do not remove, disassemble, or modify the radar sensor (front).



¾ For repairs, replacement or paint work around the radar sensor (front), consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 


¾ Do not modify the suspension. If the suspension are modifi ed, the vehicle's posture
could change and the radar sensor (front) may not be able to correctly detect a
vehicle ahead or an obstruction.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
 


y The detection ability of the radar sensors (rear) has limitations. In the following cases,
the detection ability may lower and the system may not operate normally.
 


y The rear bumper near the radar sensors (rear) has become deformed.



y Snow, ice or mud adheres to the radar sensors (rear) on the rear bumper.



y Under bad weather conditions such as rain, snow and fog.




y Under the following conditions, the radar sensors (rear) cannot detect target objects or it
may be diffi cult to detect them.




y Stationary objects on a road or a road side such as small, two-wheeled vehicles,
bicycles, pedestrians, animals, and shopping carts.
 


y Vehicle shapes which do not refl ect radar waves well such as empty trailers with a low
vehicle height and sports cars.
 


y Vehicles are shipped with the direction of the radar sensors (rear) adjusted for each
vehicle to a loaded vehicle condition so that the radar sensors (rear) detect approaching
vehicles correctly. If the direction of the radar sensors (rear) has deviated for some
reason, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 


y For repairs or replacement of the radar sensors (rear), or bumper repairs, paintwork,
and replacement near the radar sensors, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
 


y Turn off the system while pulling a trailer or while an accessory such as a bicycle carrier
is installed to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the radio waves emitted by the radar will
be blocked causing the system to not operate normally.
 


y The radar sensors are regulated by the relevant radio wave laws of the country in which
the vehicle is driven. If the vehicle is driven abroad, authorization from the country in
which the vehicle is driven may be required.
