Modification and
Add-On Equipment
▼Modification and Add-On
Equipment
Mazda cannot guarantee the
immobilizer and the theft-deterrent
systems' operation if the system has
been modified or if any add-on
equipment has been installed.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the vehicle, do not
modify the system or install any add-on
equipment to the immobilizer and the
theft-deterrent systems or the vehicle.
Immobilizer System
▼Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system allows the
engine to start only with a key the
system recognises.

If someone attempts to start the
engine with an unrecognised key, the
engine will not start, thereby helping to
prevent vehicle theft.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key, consult
an expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
CAUTION
¾Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
¾To avoid damage to the key, do not:
¾Drop the key.
¾Get the key wet.
¾Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic field.
¾Expose the key to high
temperatures on places such as the
instrument panel or bonnet, under
direct sunlight.
¾If the engine does not start with the
correct key, and the security indicator
light keeps illuminating or flashing,
the system may have a malfunction.
Consult an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer).

Theft-Deterrent System*
▼Theft-Deterrent System
If the theft-deterrent system detects an
inappropriate entry into 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 sensor uses ultrasonic
waves to detect movement inside the
vehicle and to raise an alert of an
intrusion into the vehicle.

The intrusion sensor 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:
¾Do not hang clothing or objects from
a head restraint or a coat hook.
¾Return the extension sunvisors to
their original positions.
¾Do not blind the intrusion sensor by
covering it or placing objects over it.
¾Do not allow the intrusion sensor to
get soiled or wipe it with a liquid.
¾Do not shock or cause an impact to
the intrusion sensor or the intrusion
sensor bezel.
¾Do not install seats that are not
Mazda genuine products.
¾To prevent obstruction of intrusion
sensor, do not place objects or cargo
near the intrusion sensor that are
higher than the head restraints.

WARNING
Do not rely completely on the vehicle
roll prevention function.
¾The vehicle roll prevention function
is a supplementary function which
operates for a maximum of 2
seconds after releasing the brake
pedal and accelerating the vehicle
from an engine idling stop condition.
Over reliance on the system may
result in an unexpected accident if
the vehicle were to suddenly
accelerate. Before starting to drive
the vehicle, always confirm the safety
of the surroundings and operate the
selector lever, brake pedal, and
accelerator pedal appropriately.
Note that the vehicle may move
suddenly depending on the vehicle's
load or if it is towing something.
¾Note that the vehicle may move
suddenly after the vehicle roll
prevention function is released while
the vehicle is under the following
conditions:
¾The selector lever is in the N
position.
¾If the selector lever is shifted to the
N position and the brake pedal is
released while the i-stop function
is operating, the brake force is
gradually released. To accelerate
the vehicle, release the brake pedal
after the engine restarts and shift
the selector lever to a position
other than the N position.
NOTE
xWhen the vehicle is stopped on a
steep grade, the vehicle roll
prevention function does not
operate because engine idling is not
stopped.
xThe brake pedal response may
change, sound may occur from the
brakes, or the brake pedal could
vibrate from the operation of the
vehicle roll prevention function.
However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
▼i-stop Warning Light (Amber)/
i-stop Indicator Light (Green)
To ensure safe and comfortable use of
the vehicle, the i-stop system
constantly monitors the driver's
operations, the vehicle's interior and
exterior environment, and the
operational status of the vehicle, and
uses the i-stop warning light (amber)
and i-stop indicator light (green) to
inform the driver of various cautions
and warnings.
NOTE
On vehicles equipped with the centre
display, the i-stop operation status is
displayed in the fuel efficiency monitor
display.
Refer to the Fuel Efficiency Monitor
section in the Mazda Connect
Owner's Manual.
i-stop warning light (amber)
When the light is turned on
xThe light turns on when the ignition
is switched ON and turns
off when
the engine is started.
x(European model)
The light turns on if the following
operations are performed while
engine idling is stopped. In such
cases, the engine does not restart
When Driving
Start/Stop Engine

The parking brake may be applied
automatically to prevent the vehicle
from moving if the engine stalls while
the vehicle is on a slope.
x(With i-stop function)
If the engine has stopped due to
stalling, it can be restarted by
depressing the clutch pedal within 3
seconds of the engine stopping.
The engine cannot be restarted even
if the clutch pedal is depressed
under the following conditions:
xThe driver's door is open.xThe driver's seat belt is unfastened.xThe clutch pedal is not released
completely after the engine stalled.
xThe clutch pedal is depressed with
the engine not stopped
completely.
▼Gear Shift Indicator (GSI)
The GSI supports you to obtain
optimum fuel economy and smooth
driving. It displays the selected gear
position in the instrument cluster as
well as
notifies the driver to change to
the most suitable gear position
corresponding to the actual driving
condition.

CAUTION
Do not rely solely on the shift-up/
shift-down recommendations by
indications. The actual driving situation
might require shift operations different
from indication. To avoid the risk of
accidents, the road and traffic
conditions have to be judged correctly
by the driver before shifting.
NOTE
The GSI turns off when the following
operations are performed.
xThe vehicle is stopped.xThe vehicle is put in neutral.xThe vehicle is driven in reverse.xThe clutch is not fully engaged when
accelerating from a stop.
xThe clutch pedal remains depressed

▼Indicators
1. Manual shift mode indication
2. Gear position indication
Manual shift mode indication
In manual shift mode, the “M” of the
shift position indication in the
instrument panel illuminates.
Gear position indication
The numeral for the selected gear
illuminates.

NOTE
xIf the gears cannot be shifted down
when driving at higher speeds, the
gear position indication will
flash
twice to signal that the gears cannot
be shifted down (to protect the
transmission).
xIf the automatic transmission fluid
(ATF) temperature becomes too
high, there is the possibility that the
transmission will switch to automatic
shift mode, cancelling manual shift
mode and turning off the gear
position indication illumination. This
is a normal function to protect the
AT. After the ATF temperature has
decreased, the gear position
indication illumination turns back on
and driving in manual shift mode is
restored.
x(SKYACTIV-D 1.8 (European
model))
If the engine oil temperature
becomes too high, there is the
possibility that the transmission will
switch to automatic shift mode,
cancelling manual shift mode and
turning off the gear position
indicator illumination. After the
engine oil temperature has
decreased, the gear position
indicator illumination turns back on
and driving in manual shift mode is
restored.

Antilock Brake System
(ABS)
▼Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS control unit continuously
monitors the speed of each wheel. If
one wheel is about to lock up, the ABS
responds by automatically releasing
and reapplying that wheel's brake.

The driver will feel a slight vibration in
the brake pedal and may hear a
chattering noise from the brake system.
This is normal ABS system operation.
Continue to depress the brake pedal
without pumping the brakes.

The warning light turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to ABS Warning Indication/
Warning Light on page 7-52.
WARNING
Do not rely on ABS as a substitute for
safe driving:
The ABS cannot compensate for unsafe
and reckless driving, excessive speed,
tailgating (following another vehicle
too closely), driving on ice and snow,
and hydroplaning (reduced tyre friction
and road contact because of water on
the road surface). You can still have an
accident.
NOTE
xBraking distances may be longer on
loose surfaces (snow or gravel, for
example) which usually have a hard
foundation. A vehicle with a normal
braking system may require less
distance to stop under these
conditions because the tyres will
build up a wedge of surface layer
when the wheels skid.
xThe sound of the ABS operating may
be heard when starting the engine or
immediately after starting the
vehicle, however, it does not indicate
a malfunction.
