The ignition must be switched ON to use
the turn and lane-change signals.
▼Turn Signals
Move the signal lever down (for a left
turn) or up (for a right turn) to the stop
position. The signal will self-cancel after
the turn is completed.

If the indicator light continues to flash
after a turn, manually re
turn the lever to its
original position.

The turn signal indicators in the
instrument cluster flash according to the
operation of the turn
signal lever to show
which signal is working.

NOTE
If an indicator light stays on without
flashing or if it flashes abnormally, one
of the turn signal bulbs may be burned
out.
A personalized function is available to
change the turn indicator sound volume.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
▼ Lane-Change Signals
Move the lever halfway toward the
direction of the lane change―until the
indicator flashes
― and hold it there. It
will return to the off position when
released.

After releasing the turn
signal lever, the
turn signal indicator flashes 3 times. The
operation can be canceled by moving the
lever in the direction opposite to which it
was operated.
