Before Driving
Driving Tips
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, À ares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag of
sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to check
the following:
 


y Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the
radiator.
  Refer to Engine Coolant on page
6-29 .
 


y Inspect the battery and its cables. Cold
reduces battery capacity.
 


y Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that the
vehicle will be driven in (page 6-26 ).




y Inspect the ignition system for damage
and loose connections.
 


y Use washer À uid made with antifreeze—
but do not use engine coolant antifreeze
for washer À uid (page 6-31 ).

N O T E




y Remove snow before driving. Snow left
on the windshield is dangerous as it
could obstruct vision.
 


y Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice or
frozen snow on the mirror glass and
windshield.
 


y Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows and
mirrors as it could result in the glass
cracking.
 


y Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely affected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake components. If
this situation occurs, drive the vehicle
slowly, releasing the accelerator pedal
and lightly applying the brakes several
times until the brake performance
returns to normal.

Snow Tires
Use snow tires on all four wheels
Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75 mph)
while driving with snow tires. InÀ ate snow
tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2 , 4.3 psi) more
than recommended on the tire pressure
label (driver's door frame), but never
more than the maximum cold-tire pressure
shown on the tires.

The vehicle is originally equipped with
all season radials designed to be used all
year around. In some extreme climates you
may ¿ nd it necessary to replace them with
snow tires during the winter months to
further improve traction on snow and ice
covered roads.
WARNING
Use only the same size and type tires
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all four
wheels:
Using tires diff erent in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly aff ected and result in
an accident.

CAUTION
Check local regulations before using
studded tires.

Driving Tips
Turbocharger Information
CAUTION
 


¾ After driving at freeway speeds or up a long hill, idle the engine at least 30 seconds before
stopping it. Otherwise, the turbocharger could be damaged.
 


¾ Racing or over-revving the engine, particularly after it's just been started, can damage the
turbocharger.
 


¾ To protect the engine from damage, the engine is designed so that it cannot be raced just
after starting it in extremely cold weather.

The turbocharger greatly enhances engine power. Its advanced design provides improved
operation and requires minimum maintenance.

To get the most from it, observe the following.

1. Change engine oil and ¿ lter according to Scheduled Maintenance (page 6-4 ).
2. Use only recommended engine oil (page 6-26 ). Extra additives are NOT
recommended.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
CAUTION
 ¾ When driving off -road in areas where there is grass or foliage, it is recommended that the
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off .




¾ Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specifi ed size, and the same manufacturer,
brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with signifi cantly diff erent wear
patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may not
operate normally.
 


¾ The laser sensor (front) includes a function for detecting a soiled windshield and informing
the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect plastic shopping bags,
ice or snow on the windshield. In such cases, the system cannot accurately determine a
vehicle ahead and may not be able to operate normally. Always drive carefully and pay
attention to the road ahead.

N O T E
 


y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the driver is deliberately
performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel).
 


y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the following conditions. 



y The engine is running.
y “Forward Smart City Brake Support Malfunction” is not displayed in the multi-
information display.
 


y The vehicle speed is between about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph).



y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.



y The DSC is not malfunctioning. 



y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a near-infrared
laser beam and receiving the beam reÀ ected off the reÀ ector of the vehicle ahead, and
then using it for the measurement. Consequently, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
may not operate under the following conditions:
 


y ReÀ ection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.



y The vehicle ahead is signi¿ cantly dirty.



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



y The window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used when it's
raining.
 


y The windshield is dirty.



y The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is accelerated
rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
 


y Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or high pro¿ le.



y Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.
