When Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
NOTE
Because this system detects slight changes in tire conditions, the timing of the warning may
be faster or slower in the following cases:
 The size, manufacturer, or the type of tires is different from the specification. The size, manufacturer, or the type of a tire is different from the others, or the level of tire
wear is excessively different between them.
 A run-flat tire, studless tire, snow tire, or tire chains are used. An emergency tire is used (The tire pressure monitoring system warning light may flash
and then continue illuminating).
 A tire is repaired using the emergency flat tire repair kit. The tire pressure is excessively higher than the specified pressure, or the tire pressure is
suddenly lowered for some reason such as a tire burst during driving.
 The vehicle speed is lower than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph) (including wh\
en the vehicle is
stopped), or the drive period is shorter than 5 minutes.
 The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road or a slippery, icy road. Hard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as during aggressive
driving on a winding road.
 Load on the vehicle is applied to a tire such as by loading heavy luggage to one side of
the vehicle.
 System initialization has not been implemented with the specified tire pressure.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization
In the following cases, system
initialization must be performed so that the
system operates normally.
 A tire pressure is adjusted. Tire rotation is performed. A tire or wheel is replaced. The battery is replaced or completely
drained.
 The tire pressure monitoring system
warning light is illuminated.
Initialization method
1. Park the car in a safe place and firmly
apply the parking brake.
2. Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire
pressure of all four (4) tires to the
specified pressure indicated on the tire
pressure label located on the driver's
door frame (door open).
Refer to Tires on page 9-8.
3. Switch the ignition ON.
4. Press and hold the tire pressure
monitoring system set switch and
verify that the tire pressure monitoring
system warning light in the instrument
cluster flashes twice and a beep sound
is heard once.
CAUTION
If the system initialization is performed
without adjusting the tire pressure,
the system cannot detect the normal
tire pressure and it may not illuminate
the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light even if a tire pressure is
low, or it may illuminate the light even
if the pressures are normal.
Adjust the tire pressure on all four
tires and initialize the system when
the warning light is turned on. If the
warning light turns on for a reason
other than a flat tire, the tire pressure
of all four tires may have decreased
naturally.
The system initialization will not be
performed if the switch is pressed while
the vehicle is being driven.

NOTE

The displayable range varies depending on the vehicle and road conditions. The displayable range is limited. Objects under the bumper or around the bumper ends
cannot be displayed.
 The distance appearing in the displayed image is different from the actual distance
because the rear view parking camera is equipped with a specific lens.
 Some optionally installed vehicle accessories may be picked up by the ca\
mera. Do not
install any optional parts that can interfere with the camera view, such as illuminating
parts or parts made of reflective material.
 It may be difficult to see the display under the following conditions, however, it does not
indicate a malfunction.
 In darkened areas. When the temperature around the lens is high/low. When the camera is wet such as on a rainy day or during periods of high \
humidity. When foreign material such as mud is stuck around the camera. When the camera lens reflects sunlight or headlight beams.
 Image display may be delayed if the temperature around the camera is low.

Climate Control System
Operating Tips
 Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.
 To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
dial/switch on for a long period of time
with the ignition switched ON when the
engine is not running.
 Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system efficiency.
 Use the climate control system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
 The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while in
a traffic jam, or when you would like to
shut off outside air for quick cooling of
the interior.
 Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windshield defrosting.
 If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the climate control system.
 Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes
at least once a month to keep internal
parts lubricated.
 Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
efficient.
The refrigerant specifications are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. Check
the label before refilling the refrigerant.
If the wrong type of refrigerant is used,
it could result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.
For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

NOTE
 The mode selector dial can be set at the
intermediate positions (
) between
each mode. Set the dial to an
intermediate position if you want to split
the airflow between the two modes.
 For example, when the mode selector
dial is at the
position between the
and
positions, airflow from the floor
vent is less than that of the
position.
A/C switch
Press the A/C switch to turn the air
conditioner on. The indicator light on the
switch will illuminate when the fan control
dial is in any position except OFF.
Press the switch once again to turn the air
conditioner off.
NOTE

turned off)
Outside air is allowed to enter the
cabin. Use this mode for ventilation or
windshield defrosting.
WARNING
Do not use the position in cold or
rainy weather: Using the
position in cold or rainy
weather is dangerous as it will cause
the windows to fog up. Your vision will
be hampered, which could lead to a
serious accident.
Rear window defogger switch
Press the rear window defogger switch to
defrost the rear window.
Refer to Rear Window Defogger on page
4-63.

speed.
5. If dehumidified heating is desired, turn
on the air conditioner.
NOTE
 If the windshield fogs up easily, set the
mode selector dial to the
position. If cooler air is desired at face level, set
the mode selector dial at the
position
and adjust the temperature control dial
to maintain maximum comfort.
 The air to the floor is warmer than air
to the face (except when the temperature
control dial is set at the extreme hot or
