Winter Driving
▼Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag of
sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to check
the following:
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the
radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on page 6-17.
Inspect the battery and its cables. Cold
reduces battery capacity.
Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that the
vehicle will be driven in (page 6-15).
Inspect the ignition system for damage
and loose connections.
Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze―but do not use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid (page
6-19).
NOTE
Remove snow before driving. Snow left
on the windshield is dangerous as it
could obstruct vision.
Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice or
frozen snow on the mirror glass and
windshield.
Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows and
mirrors as it could result in the glass
cracking.
Drive slowly. Braking performance can
be adversely affected if snow or ice
adheres to the brake
components. If this
situation occurs, drive the vehicle
slowly, releasing the accelerator pedal
and lightly applying the brakes several
times until the brake performance
returns to normal.
▼ Snow Tires
Use snow tires on all four wheels
Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75 mph)
while driving with sno
w tires. Inflate snow
tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2, 4.3 psi) more
than recommended on the tire pressure
label (driver's door frame), but never more
than the maximum c old-tire pressure
shown on the tires.

Mexico
The vehicle is originally equipped with
summer tires designed for optimum
traction on wet and dry roads. If your
vehicle is to be used on snow and ice
covered roads, Mazda recommends that
you replace the tires originally equipped
on your vehicle with snow tires during the
winter months.
Except Mexico
The vehicle is originally equipped with all
season radials designed to be used all year
around. In some extreme climates you
may find it necessary t o replace them with
snow tires during the winter months to
further improve traction on snow and ice
covered roads.

WA R N I N G
Never spin a wheel that is
off the ground:
Spinning a wheel that is off the ground as a
result of the vehicle being stuck or in a
ditch is dangerous. The drive assembly
could be seriously damaged which could
lead to an accident or could even lead to
overheating, oil leakage, and a fire.
▼ AWD Driving
This vehicle has not been designed for the
purpose of off-road driving or rallies. Do
not attempt to drive over uneven or rocky
surfaces, or across rivers.
Although this vehicle is equipped with
AWD, acceleration, steering and braking
operations should be conducted in the
same manner as with a non-AWD vehicle,
with the emphasis placed on safe driving.
▼Tires and Tire Chains
The condition of the tires plays a large role
in the performance of the vehicle.
Moreover, to prevent adverse effects to the
drive assembly, please note the following:
Tires
When replacing tires, always replace all
front and rear tires
at the same time.
All tires must be of the same size,
manufacture, brand and tread pattern.
Pay particular attention when equipping
snow or other types of winter tires.
Do not mix tread-worn tires with normal
tires.
Inspect tire inflation pressures at the
specified periods adjust to the specified
pressures.
NOTE
Check the tire inflation pressure label
attached to driver's door frame for the
correct tire inflation pressure.
Make sure to equip the vehicle with
genuine wheels of the specified size, on
all wheels. With AWD, the system is
calibrated for all 4 wheels being of the
same dimensions.
Tire chains
Install tire chains to the front tires.
Do not use tire chains on the rear
wheels.
Do not drive the veh icle faster than 30
km/h (19 mph) with the tire chains
installed.
Do not drive the vehicle with tire chains
on road conditions other than snow or
ice.
▼ To w i n g
If the vehicle requires towing, have it
towed with all 4 wheels completely off the
ground.
Refer to Towing Description on page
7-22.

WA R N I N G
Always confirm the safety of the area
around the vehicle with the mirrors and
directly with your eyes when driving.
The 360°View Monitor is an auxiliary device
which assists the driver in checking the
safety of the area around the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and
detection range of the sensors are limited.
For example, the areas in black at the front
and rear of the vehicle image and the
seams where each of the camera images
merge are blind spots where an obstruction
may not be visible. In addition, the
extended vehicle widt h lines and projected
vehicle path lines are only to be used as
references, and the images on the screen
may differ from the actual conditions.
CAUTION
 Do not use the 360°View Monitor under
any of the following conditions.
 Icy or snow-covered roads.
 Tire chains or a temporary spare tire is
installed.
 The front doors or the rear doors is not
fully closed.
 The vehicle is on a road incline.
 The door mirrors are retracted.
 Do not hit the front/rear camera, front/
rear bumper, and door mirrors forcefully.
The camera position or installation angle
may shift.
 The cameras are of a waterproof
structure. Do not di sassemble, modify, or
remove a camera.
 The camera cover is made of hard
plastic, therefore do not apply oil film
remover, organic solvents, wax, or
coating agents. If any such agent gets on
the camera cover, wipe it
off using a soft
cloth immediately.
 Do not rub the camera lens forcefully, or
clean it with an abrasive or hard brush.
Otherwise, it could scratch the camera
lens and negatively affect the images.
 Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for
repair, painting, or replacement of the
front/rear camera, front/rear bumper
and door mirrors.
 Heed the following cautions to assure
that the 360°View Monitor operates
normally.
 Do not modify the vehicle suspensions
or lower/raise the vehicle body, or
both.
 Always use wheels of the
specified type
and size for the front and rear wheels.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for tire replacement.
 When the display is cold, images may
leave trails or the screen might be darker
than usual, making it
difficult to check
the vehicle surroundings. Always confirm
the safety at the front and around the
vehicle visually when driving.
 The method for parking/stopping the
vehicle using the 360°View Monitor
differs depending on the road
circumstances/conditions and the
vehicle conditions. When and how much
you turn the steering wheel will differ
depending on the situation, , therefore
always check the vehicle surroundings
directly with your eyes while using the
system.
