If the indicator light flashes
rapidly in green, firmly press and
hold the Homelink button and
release it after two seconds have
passed. Repeat this process up to
three times to complete the
programming. The device
becomes operational and
programming is complete. If the
device does not operate, go to
the next step.
5. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the “learn” or “smart” button.
This can usually be found where the
hanging antenna wire is attached to
the motor-head unit.
6. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and
color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.)
NOTE
Complete the programming within
30 seconds.
7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the Homelink
button, and then release it after
two seconds have passed. Repeat
the “ press/hold/release” sequence
a second time, and, depending on
the brand of the garage door
opener (or other rolling code
equipped device), repeat this
sequence a third time to complete
the programming process.
Press the programmed HomeLink
button and make sure that the
HomeLink System operates.

▼ Gate operator/Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or
quit) after several seconds of
transmission
― which may not be long
enough for HomeLink to pick up the
signal during programming. Similar to
this Canadian law, some U.S. gate
operators are designed to “time-out”
in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or are having
di fficulties programming a gate
operator by using the programming
procedures (regardless of where you
live), replace Step 3 of Programming

NOTE
When the power switch is switched OFF, the system status before it was turned off
is maintained. For example, if the power switch is switched OFF while the parking
sensor is activated, the system will be activated when the power switch is switched
ON the next time.
The system may not operate normally under the following conditions:
Mud, ice, or snow is adhering to the sensor area (Returns to normal operation
when removed).
The sensor area is frozen (Returns to normal operation when the ice is thawed).The sensor is covered by a hand.The sensor is excessively shocked.The vehicle is excessively tilted.Under extremely hot or cold weather conditions.The vehicle is driven on bumps, inclines, gravel, grating, or grass covered roads.Anything which generates ultrasonic wave s such as another vehicle's horn, the
engine sound of a motorcycle, the air brake sound of a large-sized vehicle, or
another vehicle's sensors approaches the vehicle.
The vehicle is driven in heavy rain or in road conditions causing water-splash.A commercially-available fender pole or an antenna for a radio transmitter is
installed to the vehicle.
The vehicle is moving towards a tall or square curbstone, or a steep grade.An obstruction is too close to the sensor.The vehicle is moving towards an uneven wall or stairs.There are multiple obstructions.The vehicle is driven in a place with low ceilings.Obstructions under the bumper cannot be detected. Obstructions which are
lower than the sensor or thin may not be detected even though they were
detected once.
The following types of obstructions may not be detected:
Thin objects such as wire, rope or polesThings which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snowAngular shaped objectsVery tall objects, and those which are wide at the topSmall, short objectsAlways have the system inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer if any shock is
applied to the bumpers, even in a minor accident. If the sensors are deviated, they
cannot detect obstructions.
The system may have a malfunction if a sound is not activated or the detection
indication is not displayed even when th e parking sensor OFF switch is pressed
and the parking sensor is operable. Have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
The system may have a malfunction if the indicator light does not turn on even

Maintenance
The dust-proof sheet has a coating.
When cleaning , do
not use a hard or
rough-surface cloth, or cleaning
detergent. In addition, if a chemical
solvent gets on the active driving
display, wipe it o ff immediately. The
dust-proof sheet could be damaged
and the surface coating could be
scratched. Use a fine, soft cloth such as
those used for cleaning eyeglasses.
NOTE
Use of compressed air when cleaning
the dust-proof sheet is recommended.
▼ Panel and Cork Area Maintenance
If a panel or cork area becomes soiled,
gently wipe it o
ff with a soft cloth
soaked in clean water and thoroughly
wrung out.
If some areas require further cleaning ,
use the following procedure:
1. Wipe the soiled area with a soft cloth soaked in a mild detergent
(approx. 5 %) diluted with water.
2. Wipe o ff the remaining detergent
using a cloth soaked in clean water
and wrung out well.
NOTE
Be particularly careful when cleaning
shiny surface panels and metallic
parts such as plating as they can be
scratched easily.
(Cork area)
Do not apply items with adhesive
properties to the cork area.
Otherwise, the cork could be
damaged.
▼ Glass and Mirror Maintenance
Use Mazda genuine glass cleaner to
remove oil
film from the glass or
mirror.
When cleaning the interior side of the
window glass, gently wipe it with a soft
cloth soaked in clean water and
thoroughly wrung out.
If there is oil film on the windshield,
headlight beams from on-coming
vehicles may re flect irregularly
especially on a rainy night, and your
front vision might be obstructed.
If an antenna or filament is printed on
the window glass, gently wipe along
the antenna or filament to clean that
area.
CAUTION
If some areas require further cleaning,
a glass cleaning agent can be used.
However, be careful of the following
points.
Follow the instructions on the glass
cleaner container.
Do not use a glass cleaning agent on
a window antenna and filaments,
and on a rearview mirror equipped
with the automatic glare prevention
function.
Using a glass cleaning agent may
damage the window antenna or
fi laments, and the automatic glare
prevention function may not operate
normally.
▼ Cleaning the Floor Mats
Rubber
floor mats should be cleaned
with mild soap and water only.
WARNING
Do not use rubber cleaners, such as
tire cleaner or tire shine, when
cleaning rubber floor mats:
Cleaning the rubber floor mats with
rubber cleaning products makes the
fl oor mats slippery.
