To prevent a deterioration in the voice
recognition rate and voice quality, the
following points should be observed:
 The voice recognition cannot be
performed while voice guidance or
the beep sound is operating. Wait
until the voice guidance or the beep
sound is finished before saying your
commands. Phone related commands are available
only when your phone is connected via
Bluetooth®. Make sure your phone is
connected via Bluetooth® before you
operate phone related voice commands. Music play commands, such as Play
Artist and Play Album can be used only
in USB audio mode. Do not speak too slowly or loudly (no
loud voice). Speak clearly, without pausing between
words or numbers. Dialects or different wording other
than hands-free prompts cannot be
recognized by voice recognition. Speak
in the wording specified by the voice
commands. It is not necessary to face the
microphone or approach it. Speak the
voice commands while maintaining a
safe driving position. Close the windows and/or the
convertible top to reduce loud noises
from outside the vehicle, or turn down
the airflow of the air-conditioning
system while Bluetooth® Hands-Free is
being used. Make sure the vents are not directing air
up towards the microphone.
NOTE
If the voice recognition performance is not
satisfactory.
Refer to Troubleshooting on page 5-128.

Bluetooth®
NOTE
 When the OS of the device is updated, the pairing information may be del\
eted. If this
happens, reprogram the pairing information to the Bluetooth® unit. If you pair your phone which has already been paired to your vehicle more than once in
the past, you need to delete “Mazda” on your mobile device. Then, \
execute the Bluetooth®
search on your mobile device once again, and pair to a newly detected “Ma\
zda”. Before you pair your device, make sure that Bluetooth® is “ON”, both on your phone and
on the vehicle.
Voice recognition related problems
SymptomCauseSolution method
Poor voice recognitionExcessive, slow speech. Excessive, forceful speech (shouting).Speaking before the beep sound has ended. Loud noise (speaking or noise from outside/inside vehicle). Airflow from A/C is blowing against the microphone. Speaking in off-standard expressions (dialect).
Regarding the causes indicated on the left, be careful with how you speak. In addition, when numbers are spoken in a sequence, recognition ability will improve if no stop is placed between the numbers.
False recognition of numbers
Poor voice recognitionThere is a malfunction in the microphone.
A poor connection or malfunction with the microphone may have occurred. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Phone-related voice recognition is disabled
There is a problem with the connection between the Bluetooth® unit and the device.
If there is any malfunction after checking the pairing situation, check for device pairing or connection problems.
Names in the phonebook are not easily recognized
The Bluetooth® system is under a condition in which recognition is difficult.
By carrying out the following measures, the rate of recognition will improve.Clear memory from the phonebook which is not used very often.Avoid shortened names, use full names. (Recognition improves the longer the name is. By not using names such as “Mom”, “Dad”, recognition will improve.)
When operating the audio, a song name is not recognizedSong names cannot be recognized by voice.—

Remarks:
*1 Engine oil flexible maintenance is available for U.S.A. and Puerto Rico residents whose vehicle is operated mainly where none of the following conditions apply.
 Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation such as police car, taxi or driving school car Driving in dusty conditions
If any do apply, follow fixed maintenance. The engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year or within 16,000 km (10,000 miles) since last engine oil and filter change. The system must be reset whenever replacing the engine oil regardless of the message/wrench indicator light display.*2 Use of FL-22 is recommended when replacing engine coolant. Using engine \
coolant other than FL-22 may cause serious damage to the engine and cooling system.*3 According to state/provincial and federal regulations, failure to perfor\
m maintenance on these items will not void your emissions warranties. However, Mazda recommends that all maintenance services be performed at the recommended time or mileage/kilometer period to ensure long-term reliabi\
lity.*4 The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) initialization must be performed\
so that the system operates normally (if equipped).*5 If this component has been submerged in water, the oil should be replaced.*6 Check the tire repair fluid expiration date every year when performing the periodic maintenance. Replace the tire repair fluid bottle with new one before the expiration date.

Brake/Clutch Fluid
Inspecting Brake/Clutch Fluid
Level
WARNING
If the brake/clutch fluid level is low, have
the brakes inspected:
A low brake/clutch fluid level is
dangerous.
A low level could indicate brake lining
wear or a brake system leak which
could cause the brakes to fail and lead
to an accident.
The brakes and clutch draw fluid from the
same reservoir.
Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir
regularly. It should be kept between the
MAX and MIN lines.
The level normally drops with
accumulated distance, a condition
associated with wear of brake and clutch
linings. If it is excessively low, have
the brake/clutch system inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Washer Fluid
Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
WARNING
Use only windshield washer fluid or
plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield,
affect your visibility, and could result in
an accident.
Using Washer Fluid Without Anti-freeze
Protection in Cold Weather:
Operating your vehicle in temperatures
below 4 degrees C (40 degrees F)
using washer fluid without anti-freeze
protection is dangerous as it could
cause impaired windshield vision and
result in an accident. In cold weather,
always use washer fluid with anti-
freeze protection.
NOTE
State or local regulations may restrict the
use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs),
which are commonly used as anti-freeze
agents in washer fluid. A washer fluid with
limited VOC content should be used only
if it provides adequate freeze resistance
for all regions and climates in which the
vehicle will be operated.

Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
Tires
For reasons of proper performance, safety,
and better fuel economy, always maintain
recommended tire inflation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits
and weight distribution.
WARNING
Using Different Tire Types:
Driving your vehicle with different
types of tires is dangerous. It could
cause poor handling and poor braking;
leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the
temporary spare tire, use only the
same type tires (radial, bias-belted,
bias-type) on all four wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tires:
Using any other tire size than what is
specified for the vehicle (page 9-8)
is dangerous. It could seriously affect
ride, handling, ground clearance,
tire clearance, and speedometer
calibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Use only tires that
are the correct size specified for the
vehicle.
Tire Inflation Pressure
WARNING
Always inflate the tires to the correct
pressure:
Overinflation or underinflation of tires
is dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tire failure could result in a
serious accident.
Refer to Tires on page 9-8.
Use only a Mazda-genuine tire valve
cap:
Use of a non-genuine part is
dangerous as the correct tire air
pressure cannot be maintained if the
tire valve becomes damaged. If the
vehicle is driven under this condition,
the tire air pressure will decrease which
could result in a serious accident. Do
not use any part for the tire valve cap
that is not a Mazda-genuine part.
Inspect all tire pressures monthly when
the tires are cold. Maintain recommended
pressures for the best ride, handling, and
minimum tire wear.
Refer to the specification charts (page
9-8).
(With tire pressure monitoring system)
After adjusting the tire pressure,
initialization of the tire pressure
monitoring system is necessary to make
the system operate normally.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization on page 4-96.
NOTE
 Always check tire pressure when tires
are cold. Warm tires normally exceed
recommended pressures. Do not release
air from warm tires to adjust the
pressure.
