2021 MAZDA MODEL CX-5 Owners Manual

Diesel Particulate Filter(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
The diesel particulate filter collects and
removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
PM collected by the diesel particulate
filter is cleared during normal driving,
however, PM may not be removed and the
diesel particulate filter indicator light may
illuminate under the following conditions:
If the vehicle is driven at 15 km/h (9
mph) or less continuously.
If the vehicle is repeatedly driven for a
short period of time (10 minute or less)
or driven while the engine is cold.
If the vehicle is idled for a long time.
When “DPF Clogged” is indicated
The particulate matter (PM) cannot be
removed automatically and the amount of
collected PM reaches a specified amount.
After the engine has sufficiently warmed
up (engine coolant temperature of 80 °C
(176 °F) or more), depress the accelerator
pedal and drive the vehicle at a speed of
20 km/h (12 mph) or more for about 15 to
20 minutes to eliminate the PM.
When “DPF malfunction” is indicated
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
If the vehicle continues to be driven with
“DPF Clogged” indicated in the display, the
particulate matter (PM) increases and the
indication may change to “DPF
malfunction”. If the indication changes to
“DPF malfunction”, have the vehicle
inspected immediately at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer. If the vehicle is not
inspected and continues to be driven, the
engine may malfunction.
NOTE
When “DPF malfunction” is indicated
in the display, the engine output is
restricted to protect the diesel
particulate filter.
The engine sound and exhaust gas smell
may change when PM is being removed
while driving.

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System*
The SCR system is designed to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the exhaust gas and purify
the exhaust gas by injecting it with Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF).
WARNING
Be careful not to allow the DEF to run out. If the DEF completely runs out, the SCR system will
not operate normally.
When the remaining DEF is low, a message is displayed on the multi-information display, and
the SCR warning light turns on/flashes.
Refer to Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System Indications on page 4-261.
In this case, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer. If DEF needs to be replenished, add DEF
following the specified procedure.
Refer to Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Replenishment on page 6-30.
NOTE
DEF needs to be replenished periodically according to the scheduled maintenance
information.
Normally, the vehicle can be driven about 12,000 km (7,500 miles) before the DEF needs
to be replenished. However, it may need to be replenished earlier depending on the
driving and environmental conditions (such as putting a high load on the engine while
driving or driving the vehicle at high altitudes).
The sound of the SCR system operating may be heard from the area under the vehicle,
however, this does not indicate a problem.
▼ Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR) System Indications
As the remaining amount of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) lowers, the SCR system notifies
the driver using the following indications.
The vehicle speed may be restricted for a while even if the warning light turns off after
replenishing the DEF. To cancel the vehicle speed restriction immediately, switch the
ignition OFF after the warning light turns off and then switch the ignition ON again.

Rear View Monitor (Mazda Connect (Type A))*
The rear view monitor provides visual images of the rear of the vehicle when reversing.
WA R N I N G
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.
CAUTION
Do not use the rear view monitor under the following conditions: Using the rear view
monitor under the following conditions is dang erous and could result in injury or vehicle
damage or both.
 Icy or snow-covered roads.
 Tire chains or a temporary spare tire is installed.
 The liftgate is not fully closed.
 The vehicle is on a road incline.
 When 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 confirm ing the safety of the rear and the surrounding
conditions by looking directly with your eyes.
 Do not apply excessive force to the camera. The camera position and angle may deviate.
 Do not disassemble, modify, or remove it as it may no longer be waterproof.
 The camera cover is made of plastic. Do not apply degreasing agents, organic solvents,
wax, or glass coating agents to the camera co ver. If any are spilled on the cover, wipe off
with a soft cloth immediately.
 Do 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.
NOTE
If water, snow, or mud is stuck on the camera lens, wipe it off using a soft cloth. If it
cannot be wiped off, use a mild detergent.
If the camera temperature changes rapidly (Hot to cold, cold to hot), the rear view
monitor may not ope rate correctly.
When replacing the tires, consult an Author ized Mazda Dealer. Replacing the tires could
result in deviation of the guide lines which appear on the display.

Some optionally installed vehicle accessories may be picked up by the camera. Do not
install any optional part s that can interfere with the camera view, such as illuminating
parts or parts made of reflective material.
It may be difficult to see the display under the following conditions, however, it does not
indicate a malfunction.
In darkened areas.
When the temperature around the lens is high/low.
When the camera is wet such as on a rainy day or during periods of high humidity.

▼Viewing the Display
Guide lines which indicate the width of the vehi
cle (yellow) are displayed on the screen as a
reference to the approximate width of the vehicl e in comparison to the width of the parking
space you are about to back into.
Use this display view for parking your vehicle in a parking space or garage.

a
a) Vehicle width guide lines (yellow) These guide lines serve as a reference to the approximate width of the vehicle.
b) Distance guide lines. These guide lines indicate the approximate distance to a point measured from the
vehicle's rear (from the end of the bumper).
The red and yellow lines indicate the points about 0.5 m (19 in) for the red line and 1.0
m (39 in) for the yellow lines from the rear bumper (at the center point of each of the
lines).
CAUTION
The guide lines on the screen are fixed lines. They are not synced to the driver's turning of the
steering wheel. Always be careful and check the area to the vehicle's rear and the surrounding
area directly with your eyes while backing up.
▼ Rear View Monitor Operation
The operation of the rear view monitor when reversing the vehicle varies depending on the
traffic, road, and vehicle conditions. The amount of steering and the timing also varies
depending on conditions, so confirm the surround
ing conditions directly with your eyes and
steer the vehicle in accordance with the conditions.
Be well aware of the above cautions prior to using the rear view monitor.
NOTE
Images displayed on the monitor from the rear view parking camera are reversed images
(mirror images).
