Defogging
Press the windshield defroster switch.
In this position, the outside air position
is automatically selected, and the air
conditioner automatically turns on. The
air conditioner will directly dehumidify
the air to the front windshield and side

WARNING
Set the temperature control to the hot
or warm position when defogging
(
position):
Using the
position with the
temperature control set to the cold

Troubleshooting for Voice Recognition
If you do not understand an operation
method while in the voice recognition
mode, say “Tutorial” or “Help”.
Commands useable anytime during
voice recognition
“Go Back” and “Cancel” are commands
which can be used at anytime during voice
recognition.
Returning to previous operation
To return to the previous operation, say,
“Go Back” while in voice recognition
mode.
Cancel
To put the Bluetooth
® Hands-Free system
in standby mode, say, “Cancel” while in
voice recognition mode.
To prevent a deterioration in the voice
recognition rate and voice quality, the
following points should be observed:
 




 The voice recognition cannot be
performed while voice guidance or
the beep sound is operating. Wait
until the voice guidance or the beep
sound is fi nished before saying your
commands.




 Phone related commands are available
only when your phone is connected via
Bluetooth
® . Make sure your phone is
connected via Bluetooth ® before you
operate phone related voice commands.
 


 Music play commands, such as Play
Artist and Play Album can be used only
in USB audio mode.
 


 Do not speak too slowly or loudly (no
loud voice).
 


 Speak clearly, without pausing between
words or numbers.
 


 Dialects or different wording other
than hands-free prompts cannot be
recognized by voice recognition. Speak
in the wording specifi ed by the voice
commands.
 


 It is not necessary to face the
microphone or approach it. Speak the
voice commands while maintaining a
safe driving position.
  Close the windows and/or the moonroof
to reduce loud noises from outside the
vehicle, or turn down the airfl ow of the
climate control system while Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free is being used.
 


 Make sure the vents are not directing air
up towards the microphone.

NOTE
If the voice recognition performance is not
satisfactory.

Replacing a Tire
WARNING
Always use tires that are in good
condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and
traction could result in an accident.

Replace all four tires at the same time:
Replacing just one tire is dangerous. It
could cause poor handling and poor
braking resulting in loss of vehicle
control. Mazda strongly recommends
that you replace all four tires at the
same time.

If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will
appear as a solid band across the tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.

New treadTread wear indicator
Worn tread

You should replace the tire before the band
crosses the entire tread.
(With tire pressure monitoring system)
After adjusting the tire pressure,
initialization of the tire pressure
monitoring system is necessary to make
the system operate normally.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization on page 4-153 .
NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used on the road. It
is recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or older.
Heat caused by hot climates or frequent
high loading conditions can accelerate
the aging process. You should replace the
spare tire when you replace the other road
tires due to the aging of the spare tire. The
period in which the tire was manufactured
(both week and year) is indicated by a
4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-24 .

Temporary Spare Tire
Inspect the temporary spare tire at least
monthly to make sure it is properly
infl ated and stored.
NOTE
The temporary spare tire condition
gradually deteriorates even if it has not
been used.

The temporary spare tire is easier to
handle because of its construction which
is lighter and smaller than a conventional
tire. This tire should be used only for an
emergency and only for a short distance.

Use the temporary spare tire only until the
conventional tire is repaired, which should
be as soon as possible.
Refer to Tires on page 9-9 .
