Driving Tips
Running-In
No special running-in is necessary, but
a few precautions in the ¿ rst 1,000 km
(600 miles) may add to the performance,
economy, and life of the vehicle.
 


 Do not race the engine.



 Do not maintain one constant speed,
either slow or fast, for a long period of
time.
 


 Do not drive constantly at full-throttle or
high engine rpm for extended periods of
time.
 


 Avoid unnecessary hard stops.



 Avoid full-throttle starts.



 Do not tow a trailer.
Saving Fuel and Protection
of the Environment
How you operate your Mazda determines
how far it will travel on a tank of fuel. Use
these suggestions to help save fuel and
reduce CO2.
 


 Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine
runs smoothly, begin driving.
 


 Avoid fast starts.



 Drive at lower speeds.



 Anticipate when to apply the brakes
(avoid sudden braking).
 


 Follow the maintenance schedule (page
6-3 ) and have an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer perform inspections and
servicing.
 


 Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
 


 Slow down on rough roads.



 Keep the tyres properly inÀ ated.



 Do not carry unnecessary weight.



 Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal
while driving.
 


 Keep the wheels in correct alignment.



 Keep windows closed at high speeds.



 Slow down when driving in crosswinds
and headwinds.

WARNING
Never stop the engine when going
down a hill:
Stopping the engine when going
down a hill is dangerous. This causes
the loss of power steering and power
brake control, and may cause damage
to the drivetrain. Any loss of steering
or braking control could cause an
accident.

Driving Tips
Turbocharger Information (SKYACTIV-D 1.5)
CAUTION
  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. However, when
i-stop operates, idling is unnecessary.
  Racing or over-revving the engine, particularly after it's just been started, can damage
the turbocharger.
  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 6-3 ).
2. Use only recommended engine oil (page 6-22 ). Extra additives are NOT
recommended.

Scheduled Maintenance
*5 Flexible setting is factory preset for some countries in Europe. Consult an Authorised Mazda Repairer for
details. Flexible setting can be set if the vehicle is operated mainly where none of the following conditions
apply.
a) Purpose of vehicle use is police car, taxi or driving school car.
b) Driving in dusty conditions
c) Extended periods of idling or low speed operation
Once the À exible maintenance is selected, the vehicle calculates the remaining oil life based on engine
operating conditions and lets you know when an oil change is due by illuminating the wrench indicator light in
the instrument cluster.
Reset the engine oil data whenever replacing the engine oil regardless of the message/wrench indicator light
display.
*6 If the vehicle is operated primarily under any of the following conditions, replace the engine oil and oil ¿ lter at
every 10,000 km (6,250 miles) or shorter.

*7 For SKYACTIV-D 1.5, reset the engine oil data whenever replacing the engine oil regardless of the message/
wrench indicator light display.
*8 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.
*9 Inspect the battery electrolyte level, speci¿ c gravity and outer appearance. The sealed battery only requires an
outer appearance inspection.
*10 If the brakes are used extensively (for example, continuous hard driving or mountain driving) or if the vehicle
is operated in extremely humid climates, replace the brake À uid annually.
*11 If the vehicle is operated primarily under any of the following conditions, replace the rear differential oil at

*14 The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) initialization must be performed so that the system operates
normally (if equipped).
*15 Check the tyre repair À uid expiration date every year when performing the periodic maintenance. Replace the
tyre repair À uid bottle with new one before the expiration date.
