Before Driving
Driving Tips
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tyre
chains, window scraper, À ares, a small
shovel, jumper leads, and a small bag of
sand or salt.
Ask an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer to check the
following:
 


 Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the
radiator.
  Refer to Engine Coolant on page
6-27 .
 


 Inspect the battery and its leads. Cold
reduces battery capacity.
 


 Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that the
vehicle will be driven in (page 6-22 ).




 Inspect the ignition system for damage
and loose connections.
 


 Use washer À uid made with antifreeze—
but do not use engine coolant antifreeze
for washer À uid (page 6-30 ).

NOTE

 Do not use the parking brake in
freezing weather as it may freeze.
Instead, shift to P with an automatic
transaxle and to 1 or R with a manual
transaxle. Block the rear wheels.
  Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windscreen is dangerous
as it could obstruct vision.
  Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice
or frozen snow on the mirror glass
and windscreen.
  Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.
  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.

When Driving
Instrument Cluster and Display
Function for cancelling illumination
dimmer
The illumination dimmer can be
cancelled by rotating the instrument panel
illumination knob to the right until a beep
sound is heard while the instrument cluster
is dimmed with the ignition switched
ON. If the instrument cluster's visibility
is reduced due to glare from surrounding
brightness, cancel the illumination
dimmer.
NOTE
  When the illumination dimmer is
cancelled, the instrument cluster
cannot be dimmed even if the
position lights are turned on.
  When the illumination dimmer is
cancelled, the screen in the centre
display switches to constant display
of the daytime screen.
Outside Temperature Display
When the ignition is switched ON, the
outside temperature is displayed.



NOTE
Under the following conditions, the
outside temperature display may differ
from the actual outside temperature
depending on the surroundings and
vehicle conditions:
 


 Signi¿ cantly cold or hot
temperatures.
 


 Sudden changes in outside
temperature.
 


 The vehicle is parked.



 The vehicle is driven at low speeds.
Changing the Temperature Unit of the
Outside Temperature Display (Vehicles
with Type B audio)
The outside temperature unit can be
switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Settings can be changed by operating the
centre display screen.
Refer to Personalisation Features on page
9-13 .
NOTE
When the temperature unit indicated
in the outside temperature display is
changed, the temperature unit indicated
in the engine coolant gauge display
changes in conjunction with it.

When Driving
Instrument Cluster and Display
Low Engine Coolant Temperature
Indicator Light (Blue)

The light illuminates continuously when
the engine coolant temperature is low and
turns off after the engine is warm.
If the low engine coolant temperature
indicator light remains illuminated after
the engine has been suf¿ ciently warmed
up, the temperature sensor could have a
malfunction. Consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
Glow Indicator Light
(SKYACTIV-D 1.5)

This light may illuminate when the
ignition is switched ON.
It turns off when the glow plugs are warm.
If the ignition is left switched ON for a
long period of time without the engine
running after the glow plugs are warmed
up, the glow plugs may warm up again
which will illuminate the glow indicator
light.

When Driving
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
engine may malfunction.
NOTE
When the diesel particulate ¿ lter
indicator light À ashes, the engine
output is restricted to protect the diesel
particulate ¿ lter.

CAUTION
If the air conditioner is used while
driving up long hills or in heavy traf¿ c,
monitor the engine coolant temperature
warning light to see if it is illuminated or
À ashing (page 4-36 ).
The air conditioner may cause engine
overheating. If the warning light is
illuminated or À ashing, turn the air-
conditioning off (page 7-42 ).

the extreme cold position and set the
air intake selector to the recirculated
air position, then turn the fan control
dial fully clockwise.
  (Type B)  When maximum cooling is desired,
set the temperature control dial to the
extreme cold position and set the air
intake selector to the recirculated air
position, then set the fan control dial
to position 4.
  If warmer air is desired at À oor level,
set the mode selector dial at the

position and adjust the temperature
control dial to maintain maximum
comfort.
  The air to the À oor is warmer than
air to the face (except when the
temperature control dial is set at the
extreme hot or cold position).
Ventilation
1. Set the mode selector dial to the
position.
2. (Type A)
Set the air intake selector to the outside
air position.
