(SPORT Mode)
(NORMAL Mode)
(EV Mode)
(OFF-ROAD Mode)
NOTE
TOWING mode can be selected only
when electrically connected to the
trailer using a Mazda genuine trailer
hitch. In addition, it may take some
time until the connection is detected
and TOWING mode is displayed.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for details.
Depending on driving conditions
when selecting TOWING mode/
SPORT mode/OFF-ROAD mode, the
vehicle may perform shift-down or
accelerate slightly.
When SPORT mode/OFF-ROAD
mode is selected, driving the vehicle
at higher engine speeds increases
and fuel economy may worsen.
Canceling SPORT mode/OFF-ROAD
mode during normal driving is
recommended.
When setting the Mazda Radar
Cruise Control (MRCC) while driving
in SPORT mode, the mode is
switched to NORMAL mode. In
addition, while the MRCC is being
used, the mode cannot be switched
to SPORT mode.
Switching to EV mode may not be
possible depending on the driving
operations, driving conditions, and
high voltage battery condition.
When the system determines that
the engine needs to be started while
the vehicle is being driven in EV
mode, the mode is switched to
NORMAL mode.
The remaining distance-to-full
discharge for EV mode may
decrease, even when the vehicle is
being driven in a mode other than
EV mode.
The maximum speed in EV mode is
140 km/h (86 mph).
The drive mode cannot be switched
in the following cases.
The Antilock Brake System (ABS) is
operating.
The Traction Control System (TCS)
is operating.
The Dynamic Stability Control
(DSC) is operating.
The steering wheel is being
operated abruptly.
The driving mode in which the
display in the instrument cluster is
grayed out cannot be selected.
When the vehicle power is switched
OFF, the mode returns to NORMAL
mode. However, TOWING mode
before switching the vehicle power
OFF is maintained only when the
trailer is connected in TOWING
mode.

How to Use the
HomeLink Wireless Control System
Programming the HomeLink System
The HomeLink system provides 3
buttons which can be individually
selected and programmed using the
transmitters for current, on-market
devices as follows:
1. Verify that there is a remote control transmitter available for the device
you would like to program.
NOTE
It is recommended that a new
battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being
programmed to HomeLink for
quicker training and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency
signal.
2. Press and release the HomeLink button you would like to program.
The indicator light flashes slowly in
amber when the button is pressed.
1. Indicator light
2. HomeLink button
3. Hold the hand-held transmitter 3 to 7 cm (1.2 to 2.7 in) away from the
HomeLink button you would like to
program while keeping the
indicator light in view.
NOTE
Depending on the hand-held
transmitter, it may be easier to do
the programming by holding it
about 20 cm (7.9 in) away from the
HomeLink button.
4. Press the hand-held transmitter button continuously until the
indicator light changes from amber
(flashing) to green (on/flashing).
NOTE
Some gate operators and garage
door openers may require you to
replace this Programming Step 4
with procedures noted in the “Gate
Operator/Canadian Programming”
section.
5. Press the HomeLink button again to check if the programming has been
completed.
If the indicator light remains on in
green, the programming is
complete and the device becomes
operational.
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.
6. 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.
7. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and
color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.)

If the brake system warning light and
the ABS warning light
turn on at
the same time, stop the vehicle in a
safe place immediately and contact an

The rear wheels could lock more
quickly in an emergency stop than
under normal circ umstances which
could result in an accident.
CAUTION
In addition, the effectiveness of the
braking may diminish so you may
need to depress the brake pedal
more strongly than normal to stop
the vehicle.
The brake warning light may turn on
when the hybrid system is started. In
this case, park the vehicle in a safe
location and release the brake pedal.
If the brake warning light remains
illuminated, have the vehicle
inspected by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
