performed while voice guidance or
the beep sound is operating. Wait
until the voice guidance or the beep
sound is ¿ nished before saying your
commands.

only when your phone is connected via
Bluetooth
® . Make sure your phone is
connected via Bluetooth ® before you
operate phone related voice commands.

Artist and Play Album can be used only
in USB audio mode.
y Do not speak too slowly or loudly (no
loud voice).
y Speak clearly, without pausing between
words or numbers.
y Dialects or different wording other
than hands-free prompts cannot be
recognized by voice recognition. Speak
in the wording speci ¿ ed by the voice

y It is not necessary to face the
microphone or approach it. Speak the
voice commands while maintaining a
safe driving position.
y Close the windows and/or the
convertible top to reduce loud noises
from outside the vehicle, or turn down
the air À ow of the air-conditioning
system while Bluetooth

all the turn signals will À ash. The hazard
warning indicator lights in the instrument
cluster À ash simultaneously.
N O T E
y The turn signals do not work when the
hazard warning lights are on.
y Check local regulations about the use of
hazard warning lights while the vehicle
is being towed to verify that it is not in
violation of the law.

Emergency Starting
Starting a Flooded Engine
If the engine fails to start, it may be
À ooded (excessive fuel in the engine).
Follow this procedure:
1. If the engine does not start within
¿ ve seconds on the ¿ rst try, wait ten
seconds and try again.
2. Make sure the parking brake is on.
3. Depress the accelerator all the way and
hold it there.
4. Depress the clutch pedal (Manual
transmission) or the brake pedal
(Automatic transmission), then
press the push button start. If the
engine starts, release the accelerator
immediately because the engine will
suddenly rev up.
5. If the engine fails to start, crank it
without depressing the accelerator.
If the engine still does not start using the
previous procedure, have your vehicle
inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Push-Starting
Do not push-start your Mazda.
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle to start it:
Towing a vehicle to start it is
dangerous. The vehicle being towed
could surge forward when its engine
starts, causing the two vehicles to
collide. The occupants could be injured.
CAUTION
Do not push-start a vehicle that has a
manual transmission. It can damage
the emission control system.
N O T E
You cannot start a vehicle with an
automatic transmission by pushing it.

If Trouble Arises
Emergency Towing
Towing Description
We recommend that towing be done only
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing are necessary
to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Government and local laws must be
followed.
A towed vehicle usually should have its
drive wheels (rear wheels) off the ground.
If excessive damage or other conditions
prevent this, use wheel dollies.
Wheel dollies
When towing with the rear wheels on the
ground, release the parking brake.
CAUTION
¾ Do not tow the vehicle pointed
backward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal damage
to the transmission.
¾ Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or fl atbed equipment.
