Be extremely careful if it is necessary to
downshift on slippery surfaces:
Downshifting into lower gear while driving
on slippery surfaces is dangerous. The
sudden change in tyre speed could cause
the tyres to skid. This could lead to loss of
vehicle control and an accident.

Make sure the floor mats are secured with
the grommets or the retainers to prevent
them from bunching up under the foot
pedals (Driver's side):
Using a
floor mat that is not secured is
dangerous as it will interfere with the
accelerator and brake pedal operation
(driver's side), which could result in an
accident.
Only use a
floor mat which conforms to the
shape of the floor on the driver's side and
make sure it is oriented correctly.
Secure the floor mat using the grommets or
retainers.
There are various ways to secure floor mats
depending on the type used, therefore
secure the mat according to the type.
After installing the floor mat, make sure
that it does not slide from side to side or
back and forth, and that there is sufficient
clearance with the accelerator and brake
pedals on the driver's side.
After removing the floor mat for cleaning
or some other reason, always securely
reinstall it while paying attention to the
precautions just mentioned.

¾Chains may affect handling.
¾Do not go faster than 50 km/h (30 mph)
or the chain manufacturer's
recommended limit, whichever is lower.
¾Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes,
and sharp turns.
¾Avoid locked-wheel braking.
¾Do not use chains on a temporary spare
tyre; it may result in damage to the
vehicle and to the tyre.
In some models, the vehicle is not
equipped with a factory installed
temporary spare tyre.
¾Do not use chains on roads that are free
of snow or ice. The tyres and chains could
be damaged.
¾Chains may scratch or chip aluminium
wheels.
NOTE
xIf your vehicle is equipped with the tyre
pressure monitoring system, the system may
not function correctly when using tyre
chains.
x(Except SKYACTIV-G 1.5 for 6-speed
manual transaxle (Europe))
Use of tyre chains on a vehicle equipped
with 185/60R16 tyres could cause
interference with the vehicle body and
scratching. If tyre chains are to be used,
replace both the front and rear tyres with
185/65R15 tyres and replace both the front
and rear wheels with genuine Mazda 15-inch
wheels of the same size, and use genuine
Mazda tyre chains. Consult an expert
repairer (we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer).

Do not rely on the Traction Control System
(TCS) as a substitute for safe driving:
The Traction Control System (TCS) cannot
compensate for unsafe and reckless
driving, excessive speed, tailgating
(following another vehicle too closely), and
hydroplaning (reduced tyre friction and
road contact because of water on the road
surface). You can still have an accident.
Use snow tyres or tyre chains and drive at
reduced speeds when roads are covered
with ice and/or snow:
Driving without proper traction devices on
snow and/or ice-covered roads is
dangerous. The Traction Control System
(TCS) alone cannot provide adequate
traction and you could still have an
accident.
NOTE
To turn off the TCS, press the DSC OFF
switch (page 4-85).

NOTE
xIn addition to the indicator light
flashing, a slight labouring sound will
come from the engine. This indicates
that the TCS/DSC is operating properly.
xOn slippery surfaces, such as fresh
snow, it will be impossible to achieve
high rpm when the TCS is on.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tyre maintenance, and it is the
driver's responsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tyre pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tyre pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement
or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tyres or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tyres and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
¾To avoid false readings, the system samples for a little while before indicating a problem. As
a result it will not instantaneously register a rapid tyre deflation or blow out.
NOTE
Because this system detects slight changes in tyre conditions, the timing of the warning may
be faster or slower in the following cases:
xThe size, manufacturer, or the type of tyres is different from the specification.
xThe size, manufacturer, or the type of a tyre is different from the others, or the level of tyre
wear is excessively different between them.
xA run-flat tyre, studless tyre, snow tyre, or tyre chains are used.
xAn emergency tyre is used (The tyre pressure monitoring system warning light may flash
and then continue illuminating).
xA tyre is repaired using the emergency flat tyre repair kit.
xThe tyre pressure is excessively higher than the specified pressure, or the tyre pressure is
suddenly lowered for some reason such as a tyre burst during driving.
xThe vehicle speed is lower than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph) (including when the vehicle is
stopped), or the drive period is shorter than 5 minutes.
xThe vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road or a slippery, icy road.
xHard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as during aggressive
driving on a winding road.
xLoad on the vehicle is applied to a tyre such as by loading heavy luggage to one side of
the vehicle.
xSystem initialization has not been implemented with the specified tyre pressure.

Always drive carefully
confirming the safety of the rear and the surrounding conditions by
looking directly with your eyes:
Reversing the vehicle by only looking at the screen is dangerous as it may cause an accident
or a collision with an object. The rear view monitor is only a visual assist device when
reversing the vehicle. The images on the screen may be different from the actual conditions.

¾Do not use the rear view monitor under the following conditions: Using the rear view
monitor under the following conditions is dangerous and could result in injury or vehicle
damage or both.
¾Icy or snow-covered roads.
¾Tyre chains or a temporary spare tyre is installed.
¾The liftgate/boot lid is not fully closed.
¾The vehicle is on a road incline.
¾When the display is cold, images may course across the monitor or the screen and may be
dimmer than usual, which could cause difficulty in confirming the surrounding conditions
of the vehicle. Always drive carefully confirming the safety of the rear and the surrounding
conditions by looking directly with your eyes.
¾Do not apply excessive force to the camera. The camera position and angle may deviate.
¾Do not disassemble, modify, or remove it as it may no longer be waterproof.
¾The camera cover is made of plastic. Do not apply degreasing agents, organic solvents,
wax, or glass coating agents to the camera cover. If any are spilled on the cover, wipe off
with a soft cloth immediately.
¾Do not rub the camera cover forcefully with an abrasive or hard brush. The camera cover or
lens may be scratched which might affect the images.
