 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).
  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.
  Do not install a grille guard. 
 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 Authorised Mazda Repairer.
  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.
  Do not remove, disassemble, or modify the radar sensor (front). 
 For repairs, replacement or paint work around the radar sensor (front), consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Diesel Particulate Filter (SKYACTIV-D 1.5)
Diesel Particulate Filter
(SKYACTIV-D 1.5)
The diesel particulate ¿ lter collects and
removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
PM collected by the diesel particulate
¿ lter is cleared during normal driving,
however, PM may not be removed and the
diesel particulate ¿ lter indicator light may
illuminate under the following conditions:
 


 If the vehicle is driven at 15 km/h (9
mph) or less continuously.
 


 If the vehicle is repeatedly driven for a
short period of time (10 minute or less)
or driven while the engine is cold.
 


 If the vehicle is idled for a long time.
NOTE
The engine sound and exhaust gas smell
may change when PM is being removed
while driving.
Diesel Particulate Filter Indicator Light



When illuminated
The particulate matter (PM) cannot be
removed automatically and the amount of
collected PM reaches a speci¿ ed amount.
After the engine has suf¿ ciently warmed
up (engine coolant temperature of 80 °C
or more), depress the accelerator pedal and
drive the vehicle at a speed of 20 km/h
or more for about 15 to 20 minutes to
eliminate the PM. When À ashing
Contact an expert repairer, we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is continually driven as
usual with the diesel particulate ¿ lter
indicator light illuminated, PM increases
and the indicator light may start À ashing.
If the diesel particulate ¿ lter indicator
light starts À ashing, have the vehicle
inspected immediately at an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer. If the vehicle is not
inspected and continues to be driven, the
