2023 MAZDA MX5 MIATA climate control

Commands useable anytime during voice recognition
“Go Back” and “Cancel” are commands which can be used at anytime during voice
recognition.
Returning to previous operation
To return to the previous operation, say, “Go Back” while in voice recognition mode.
Cancel
To put the Bluetooth
® Hands-Free system in standby mode, say, “Cancel” while in voice
recognition mode.
To prevent a deterioration in the voice recognition rate and voice quality, the following
points should be observed:
The voice recognition cannot be performed while voice guidance or the beep sound is
operating. Wait until the voice guidance or th e beep sound is finished before saying a
command.
Phone related commands are available only when a phone is connected via Bluetooth®.
Make sure a phone is connected via Bluetooth
® before you operate phone related voice
commands.
Music play commands, such as Play Artist and Play Album can be used only in USB
audio mode.
Do not speak too slowly or loudly (no loud voice).
Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.
Dialects or different wording other than hands-free prompts cannot be recognized by
voice recognition. Speak in the wording specified by the voice commands.
It is not necessary to face the microphone or be close to it. Speak the voice commands
while maintaining a safe driving position.
Close the windows and/or the convertible t op to reduce loud noises from outside the
vehicle, or turn down the airflow of the climate control system while Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free is being used.
Make sure the vents are not directing air up towards the microphone.

NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when they
are not being used on the road. It is
recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or older.
Heat caused by hot climates or frequent
high loading conditions can accelerate the
aging process. The period in which the tire
was manufactured (both week and year) is
indicated by a 4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-25.
▼Replacing a Wheel
WA R N I N G
Always use wheels of the correct size on
your vehicle:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is dangerous.
Braking and handling could be affected,
leading to loss of control and an accident.
CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely affect:

Tire fit
 Wheel and bearing life
 Ground clearance
 Snow-chain clearance
 Speedometer calibration
 Headlight aim
 Bumper height
 Tire Pressure Monitoring System
NOTE
When replacing a wheel, make sure the
new one is the same as the original
factory wheel in diameter, rim width,
and offset (inset/outset).
For details, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

Proper tire balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and flat spots.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQGS)
This information relates to the tire grading system developed by the U.S. National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration for grading t ires by tread wear, traction, and temperature
performance.
▼ Tr e a d We a r
The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear on e-and-a-half times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100.

The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however,
and may depart significantly from the norm because of variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
▼ Traction-AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. These grades represent the
tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as meas
ured under controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt and conc rete. A tire marked C may have poor traction
performance.
WA R N I N G
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight ahead) traction tests and
does not include acceleration cornering (turning), hydroplaning, or peak traction
characteristics.
▼ Te m p e r a t u r e - A , B , C
The temperature grades A (the highest), B, and C, represent the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its abili
ty to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire
life, and excessive temperatures can lead to sudden tire failure.

Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger vehicle tires must meet
under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
