Do not operate a vehicle with a
damaged seat belt:
Using a damaged seat belt is
dangerous. An accident could damage
the belt webbing of the seat belt in
use. A damaged seat belt cannot
provide adequate protection in a
collision. Have an Authorized Mazda
Dealer inspect all seat belt systems in
use during an accident before they are
used again.
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.
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
6-49).

▼Turbocharger Information
(SKYACTIV-G
2.5T)
CAUTION
After driving at freeway speeds or up
a long hill, idle the engine at least 30
seconds before stopping it.
Otherwise, the turbocharger could
be damaged. However, when i-stop
operates, idling is unnecessary.
Racing or over-revving the engine,
particularly after it's just been
started, can damage the
turbocharger.
To protect the engine from damage,
the engine is designed so that it
cannot be raced just after starting it
in extremely cold weather.
The turbocharger greatly enhances
engine power. Its advanced design
provides improved operation and
requires minimum maintenance.
To get the most from it, observe the
following.
1. Change engine oil and filter according to Scheduled
Maintenance.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance
(U.S.A. and Puerto Rico) on page
6-4.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance
(Canada) on page 6-6.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance
(Mexico) on page 6-8.
2. Use only recommended engine oil (page 6-16). Extra additives are
NOT recommended.

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 selector lever. 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.
The white (yellow) lane lines are
less visible because of dirt or paintflaking.
White (yellow) lane lines or
vehicles ahead are less visible
because of bad weather (rain, fog ,
or snow).
The vehicle is driven on a
temporary lane or section with a
closed lane resulting from
construction where there might be
multiple white (yellow) lane lines,
or they are interrupted.
The camera picks up an obscure
line, such as a temporary line being
used for construction, or because
of shade, unmelted snow, or
grooves filled with water.
The road surface is wet and shiny
after rain, or there are puddles on
the road.
Heavy luggage is loaded in the
luggage compartment or on the
rear seat causing the vehicle to tilt.
A vehicle in front of your vehicle is
running near a white (yellow) lane
line making it less visible.
The windshield is dirty or foggy.The vehicle is driven through an
intersection, a junction, or a fork in
the road.
While white (yellow) lane lines
cannot be detected due to road or
weather conditions.
The surrounding brightness
suddenly changes such as when
entering or exiting a tunnel.
The illumination of the headlights
is weakened because of dirt or the
optical axis is deviated at night.
Back-light is reflected off the road
surface or the road surface is wet
and shiny after rain.
The shade of a guardrail parallel to
a white (yellow) lane line is cast on
the road.
The width of a lane is excessively
narrow or wide.
The road is excessively uneven.

change the installation position of
the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
or remove it. Otherwise, it could
result in damage or malfunction.
Always use tires for all wheels that
are of the specified size, and the
same manufacturer, brand, and tread
pattern. In addition, do not use tires
with significantly different wear
patterns on the same vehicle as the
system may not operate normally.
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
includes a function for detecting a
soiled windshield and informing the
driver, however, depending on the
conditions, it may not detect plastic
shopping bags, ice or snow on the
windshield. In such cases, the system
cannot accurately determine a

to operate normally. Always drive
carefully and pay attention to the

from the radar sensor.
The front radar sensor is mounted
behind the front emblem.
1. Front radar sensor
If “Safety and Driver Support Systems
Temporarily Disabled. Front Radar
Obscured. Drive Safely” is displayed on
the multi-information display of the
instrument cluster, clean the area
around the front radar sensor.
CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to
assure correct operation of each
system.
Do not adhere stickers (including
transparent stickers) to the surface of
the radiator grille and front emblem
in and around the front radar sensor,
and do not replace the radiator grille
and front emblem with any product
that is not a genuine product
designed for use with the front radar
sensor.
The front radar sensor includes a
function for detecting soiling of the
radar sensor's front surface and
informing the driver, however,
depending on the conditions, it may
require time to detect or it may not
detect plastic shopping bags, ice or
snow. If this occurs, the system may
not operate correctly, therefore
always keep the front radar sensor
clean.
Do not install a grille guard.
If the front part of the vehicle has
been damaged in a vehicle accident,
the position of the front radar sensor
may have moved. Stop the system
immediately and always have the
vehicle inspected at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Do not use the front bumper to push
other vehicles or obstructions such
as when pulling out of a parking
space. Otherwise, the front radar
sensor could be hit and its position
deviated.
Do not remove, disassemble, or
modify the front radar sensor.
For repairs, replacement or paint
work around the front radar sensor,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Do not modify the suspensions. If
the suspensions are modified, the
vehicle's posture could change and
the front radar sensor may not be
able to correctly detect a vehicle
ahead or an obstruction.
