2 This indicator light turns on to remind you that the front passenger’s front/side
airbags and seat belt pretensioner will not deploy during a collision. The reason
for this is that the sensor has determined that an adult is not sitting in the front passenger seat.
NOTE: If a smaller adult sits on the front passenger seat, the sensors might detect the adult as being a child depending on the person’s physique and may deactivate the front passenger’s front/side
airbags and seat belt pretensioner. Always wear your seat belt and secure children in the rear seats in
appropriate child restraints. See the Owner’s Manual for important information on this safety feature.

STARTING THE ENGINE WITH
ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
The CX-3 is equipped with SKYACTIV combustion technology.
This technology includes AWS (Accelerated Warm-up System) for
optimal emission performance during cold starting conditions.
While Carrying the Key…
• Start the engine by pushing the START/STOP ENGINE button while
pushing the clutch pedal (M/ T) or the brake pedal (A / T).
What you will notice? On start-up, the engine speed and sound are
higher (1500 RPM) for less than 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.
What this does? This heats up the catalytic converter faster to reduce
emissions and allows Mazda to use an exhaust header on the engine
(to improve efficiency and horsepower).
NOTE:
Yo u can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
Key
• Shut the engine OFF by setting the parking brake/placing the
vehicle in Park (A / T), then push the START/STOP ENGINE button.
• Activate Accessories (ACC) by pushing the START/STOP
ENGINE button once without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
• Turn the ignition to the ON position by pushing the START/STOP
ENGINE button twice without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
The key indicator light
in the instrument cluster will show GREEN
(engine ready to start) when the key is detected and the clutch pedal (M/ T)
or the brake pedal (A / T) is pushed. If the KEY warning light illuminates
RED , or the START/STOP ENGINE 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 inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

NOTE:
RED Key Indicator Light may flash if the key is placed in the cup holder.
The key may not be detected in the cup holder .

Tires
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
For your safety, the CX-3 is equipped with TPMS that detects low tire
pressure in one or more tires. If the tire pressure starts getting low in
one or more tires, the system alerts the driver by turning on a light in the
instrument cluster (pp. 35-38) and sounding an alarm.
What to do? Don’t ignore the TPMS warning light. Stop and check your
tire pressure (when tires are cold) and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Properly inflated tires are safer, last longer, and increase fuel economy.
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 door jam area) 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.
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 turn on, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may turn on
if the tire pressure is normal.
NOTE: Drastic changes in temperature or altitude may cause the TPMS warning
light to turn on.

trailer). This is normal. Simply push the accelerator pedal to override the system.
CLOSE PROXIMITY WARNING
While travelling in headway control, if your vehicle rapidly
closes in on a vehicle ahead because the other driver applied their brakes
suddenly, a warning sound activates and the BRAKE! warning is indicated
in the display. Always verify the safety of the surrounding area and depress
the brake pedal while keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Additionally, always keep a safe distance from the vehicles behind you. Switching to conventional cruise control function:
When the ON switch is pushed continuously for about 2 seconds while the
Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system is turned on, the system is
switched to conventional cruise control function.
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) indicator light (green) in the
instrument cluster turns off and “Radar Cruise Control deactivated”
message is displayed in the multi information display at the same time.

Lane Departure Warning System
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM (LDWS) (if equipped)
The LDWS recognizes painted lane lines on a road using the forward
sensing camera (FSC) installed to the windshield. If the vehicle deviates
from its lane at speeds above 44 mph, the system alerts the driver using
the following indicators.

WARNING: LDWS is only a supplementary system to
warn the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from
its lane, however the LDWS has limitations. Do not
rely solely on the LDWS. Relying solely on the LDWS
may cause an unexpected accident resulting in death
or serious injury. Always pay attention to the direction
in which the vehicle is traveling and drive safely.
NOTE: Any driver input (e.g., turn signal, steering or acceleration) will cancel warning.

Blind Spot Monitoring System
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) (if equipped)
The BSM system is designed to assist the driver by monitoring blind spots
on both sides of the vehicle to the rear in certain situations such as when
changing lanes on roads and freeways.
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 in the instrument cluster will
turn on to indicate when the BSM system is off. The
BSM system will automatically turn on the next time the vehicle is started.
• If your vehicle speed is 7 mph (11 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 dirty,
so keep the rear bumper area clean and free of bumper stickers.
Your Vehicle
Detection Areas
Refer to your
Owner’s Manual for
complete details.
NOTE: • The BSM 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 does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about
7 mph (11 km/h).
WARNING: BSM is only a supplementary system to help aid in monitoring blind
spots , however BSM has limitations. The system may not detect all vehicles,
especially a motorcycle. Do not rely solely on the BSM . Relying solely on the BSM
may cause an unexpected accident resulting in death or serious injury. Make sure to
look over your shoulder before changing lanes.
