Theft-Deterrent System*
If the theft-deterrent system detects an
inappropriate entry in to the vehicle or the
intrusion sensor detects movement in the
vehicle which could result in the vehicle
(with the intrusion sensor) or its contents
being stolen, the alarm alerts the
surrounding area of an abnormality by
sounding the siren/horn and flashing the
hazard warning lights.

The system will not function unless it's
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, follow the arming procedure
correctly.
Intrusion sensor
*
The intrusion s ensor uses ultrasonic waves
to detect movement inside the vehicle and
to raise an alert of an intrusion into the
vehicle.

The intrusion s ensor detects certain kinds
of movement inside the vehicle, however,
it may also respond to phenomenon
outside the vehicle such as vibrations, loud
noise, wind, and air currents.
CAUTION
In order for the intrusion sensor to operate
appropriately, be aware of the following:
 Do not hang clothing or objects from a
head restraint or a coat hook.
 Return the extension sunvisors to their
original positions.
 Do not blind the intrusion sensor by
covering it or placing objects over it.
 Do not allow the intrusion sensor to get
soiled or wipe it with a liquid.
Do not shock or cause an impact to the
intrusion sensor or the intrusion sensor
bezel.
 Do not install seats that are not Mazda
genuine products.
 To prevent obstruction of intrusion
sensor, do not place objects or cargo
near the intrusion sensor that are higher
than the head restraints.

Operating Tips
•Operate the air-conditioning 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.
•(With i-stop)
The airflow amount may decrease
slightly while the i-stop function is
operating.
•Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the bonnet and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system efficiency.
•Use the air-conditioning 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 windscreen defrosting.
•If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the air-conditioning system.
•Run the air cond itioner 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. If the
wrong type of refrigerant is used, it
could result in a ser ious malfunction of
the air conditioner. Consult a
professional, government certified
repairer for the inspection or repair
because a special device is required for
the air conditi oner maintenance.
For details, consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.

Bonnet
WA R N I N G
Always check that the bonnet is closed and
securely locked:
A bonnet that is not closed and securely

while the vehicle is moving and block the
driver's vision which could result in a
serious accident.
▼ Opening the Bonnet
1. With the vehicle parked, pull the
release handle to unlock the bonnet.

Window and HeadlightWasher Fluid
▼Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
WA R N I N G
Use only windscreen washer fluid or plain
water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fluid is
dangerous. If sprayed on the windscreen, it
will dirty the windscreen, affect your
visibility, and could result in an accident.
Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir; add fluid if necessary.

L F
The top of the float should be between F
and L.

Use plain water if washer fluid is
unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold weather
to prevent it from freezing.
NOTE
Front and rear washer fluid is supplied
from the same reservoir.
Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and bonnet hinges and locks, should
be lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.

Make sure the bonnet's secondary latch
keeps the bonnet from opening when the
primary latch is released.

Overheating
If the temperature gauge indicates
overheating or the high engine coolant
temperature warning light turns on, the
vehicle loses power, or you hear a loud
knocking or pinging noise, the engine is
probably too hot.
WA R N I N G
Pull over to a safe location, then switch
the ignition off and make sure the fan is
not running before attempting to work
near the cooling fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is
running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the
engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
Do not remove either cooling
system cap when the engine and radiator
are hot:
When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot out
under pressure and cause serious injury.
Open the bonnet ONLY after steam is no
longer escaping from the engine:
Steam from an overheated engine is
dangerous. The escaping steam could
seriously burn you.
If the temperature gauge indicates
overheating or the high engine coolant
temperature warning light turns on:

1. Drive safely to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic transaxle in park (P), a manual
transaxle in neutral.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Turn off the air conditioner.
5. Check whether coolant or steam is escaping from the engine
compartment.

If steam is coming from the engine
compartment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle.
Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then
open the bonnet and start the engine.

If neither coolant nor steam is
escaping:
Open the bonnet and idle the engine
until it cools.
CAUTION
If the cooling fan does not operate
while the engine is running, the engine
temperature will increase. Stop the
engine and call an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
6. Make sure the cooling fan is operating, then turn off the engine after the
temperature has decreased.
