Have your seat belts changed
immediately if the pretensioner or
load limiter has been expended:
Always have an Authorized Mazda
Dealer immediately inspect the seat
belt pretensioners and air bags after
any collision. Like the air bags, the seat
belt pretensioners and load limiters
will only function once and must be
replaced after any collision that caused
them to deploy. A seat belt with an
expended pretensioner or load limiter
is still better than wearing no seat belt
at all; however, if the seat belt
pretensioners and load limiters are not
replaced, the risk of injury in a collision
will increase.
Positioning the Shoulder Portion of
the Seat Belt:
Improper positioning of the shoulder
portion of the seat belt is dangerous.
Always make sure the shoulder portion
of the seat belt is positioned across
your shoulder and near your neck, but
never under your arm, on your neck, or
on your upper arm.
Positioning the Lap Portion of the Seat
Belt:
The lap portion of the seat belt worn
too high is dangerous. In a collision,
this would concentrate the impact
force directly on the abdominal area,
causing serious injury. Wear the lap
portion of the belt snugly and as low as
possible.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.
CAUTION
Belt retraction may become difficult if
the belts and rings are soiled, so try to
keep them clean. For more details
about cleaning the seat belts, refer to
"Seat Belt Maintenance" (page
6-46).

▼ Pregnant Women and Persons with
Serious Medical Conditions
Pregnant women should always wear
seat belts. Ask your doctor for specific
recommendations.
The lap belt should be worn SNUGLY
AND AS LOW AS POSSIBLE OVER THE
HIPS.
The shoulder belt should be worn
across your shoulder properly, but
never across the stomach area.
Persons with serious medical
conditions also should wear seat belts.

Rocking the Vehicle
▼Rocking the Vehicle
WARNING
Do not spin the wheels at more than
56 km/h (35 mph), and do not allow
anyone to stand behind a wheel when
pushing the vehicle:
When the vehicle is stuck, spinning the
wheels at high speed is dangerous. The
spinning tire could overheat and
explode. This could cause serious
injuries.
CAUTION
Too much rocking may cause engine
overheating , transmission failure, and
tire damage.
If you must rock the vehicle to free it
from snow, sand or mud, depress the
accelerator slightly and slowly move
the shift lever/selector lever from 1 (D)
to R position.
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.

i-ACTIV AWD Operation*
▼i-ACTIV AWD Operation
AWD provides excellent drivability on
snow-covered and ice-packed roads,
sand and mud, as well as on steep
slopes and other slippery surfaces.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to AWD Wa
rning Indication/
Warning Light on page 7-26.
WARNING
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
WARNING
Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed
and abrupt maneuvers when driving
this vehicle:
Sharp turns, excessive speed and
abrupt maneuvering of this vehicle is
dangerous as it could result in the
increased risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle roll-over, personal injury or
death.
This vehicle has a higher center of
gravity. Vehicles with a higher center of
gravity such as utility and AWD vehicles
handle differently than vehicles with a
lower center of gravity.
Utility and AWD vehicles are not
designed for cornering at high speeds
any more than low profile sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactorily
under off-road conditions. In addition,
utility vehicles have a significantly
higher rollover rate than other types of
vehicles.
Drive carefully when the vehicle is
loaded by lowering vehicle speed and
applying the brakes earlier:
Abrupt maneuvering and sudden
braking when driving a loaded vehicle
is dangerous as the driving behavior of
a vehicle with a high center of gravity is
different when it is loaded compared
to when it is not, and could result in
the loss of vehicle control and an
accident.
▼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.

The vehicle is driven on roads with
lane lines other than white (yellow)
lines, such as an expressway.
Do not get out of the vehicle while
the stop hold control is operating.
(Automatic transmission vehicle)
Getting out of the vehicle while the
stop hold control is operating is
dangerous as the vehicle may move
unexpectedly and result in an accident.
Before getting out of the vehicle,
switch the TJA off, apply the parking
brake, and then shift the selector lever
to the P position.
CAUTION
Turn the system off when the vehicle is
running on a chassis roller.
Heed the following cautions so that
the TJA can operate normally.
Turn the system off when the vehicle
is running on a chassis roller.
Do not modify the vehicle's
suspensions.
Always use wheels of the specified
size for the front and rear wheels.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for tire replacement.
NOTE
The headway control does not detect
the following as physical objects.
Vehicles approaching in the
opposite direction
Pe de st ri a nsStationary objects (stopped
vehicles, obstructions)
If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an
extremely low speed, the system may
not detect it correctly.
If there is a structure on the road or
an object (such as a monorail) at a
low height off the ground in front of
the vehicle, the system may operate.
Therefore, do not use the TJA.
Do not use the TJA under conditions
in which close proximity warnings
are frequently activated.
If it is necessary to accelerate for a
lane change or the vehicle ahead
brakes suddenly causing you to close
in on the vehicle rapidly, accelerate
using the accelerator pedal or
decelerate using the brake pedal
depending on the conditions.
While the TJA is in use, any intended
engine braking does not occur even
if you shift the shift lever (manual
transmission) or th e selector lever
(automatic transmission). If
deceleration is required, lower the
vehicle speed setting or depress the
brake pedal.
While braking by the TJA control is
operating , you might hear an
operation sound, however, this does
not indicate a problem.
The brake lights turn on while
braking by the TJA control is
operating, however, they may not
turn on while the vehicle is on a
down slope at the set vehicle speed
or traveling at a constant speed and
following a vehicle ahead.
Under the following conditions, the
TJA may not be able to detect white
(yellow) lines or vehicles ahead
correctly and the TJA may not
operate normally.
The forward sensing camera (FSC)
cannot recognize the area in front
of the vehicle due to soiling or fog.
