Warning and Cautions forUsing the Mazda
intelligent Drive Select
(Mi-Drive)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
Mi-Drive system.
Vehicle stability is limited even when
Mi-Drive is activated. Always drive the
vehicle safely. Do not drive the vehicle
recklessly, otherwise it may result in an
accident.
Do not use OFF-ROAD mode when
driving on a paved road.
Use Off-road mode when driving on
slippery roads such as muddy, sandy,
or deep-snowy road s. During normal
driving, use normal mode.
CAUTION
Do not use the sport mode when
driving on slippery roads such as wet
or snow-covered roads. It may cause
tire slipping.
Heed the following cautions so that
the system can operate normally.
Always use tires of the
specified
size, same manufacturer, brand,
and pattern (tread pattern) for the
front and rear wheels.
Do not use tires with significantly
different wear patterns on the
same vehicle.
Drive carefully when using tire
chains. Because the diameter of the
tires
differs, the system may not
operate normally.
How to Use the Mazda
intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive)
1. Push the Mi-Drive switch forwardor pull it toward you.
2. While checking the list displayed inthe instrument cluster, push the
Mi-Drive switch forward or pull it
toward you to select a drive mode.
When the drive mode is set, the
display in the instrument cluster
changes.

(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 Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Check the tire pressure
The current tire pressure can be
checked on the center display.
Refer to the Vehicle Status Monitor
section in the Mazda Connect
Owner's Manual.
Low tire pressure warning
When a tire pressure of the specified
air pressure or lower is detected, the
TPMS warning light
turns on and a
warning indication is displayed in the
instrument cluster.
1. Message is displayed.
Action
1. Adjust the tire pressure to the appropriate pressure.
Refer to the Tires on page 10-71.
CAUTION
If the tire pressure is adjusted when
the tire is warm, the tire pressure
may lower below the specified
pressure after cooling and the
warning light may turn on. Adjust
the air pressure of the tires when
they are cold.
2. Make sure that the TPMS warning
light
is turned off.
3. If the TPMS warning light does
not turn off, drive the vehicle for 3
minutes or longer at a speed of 25
km/h (16 mph) or faster.
4. Make sure that the TPMS warning
light
is turned off.
If the TPMS warning light remains on
even after adjusting the tire pressure,
there is a possibility that the tire is flat.
CAUTION
When inspecting/adjusting the tire
pressures, do not apply excessive force
to the air valve of the tire pressure
sensor. Otherwise, the tire pressure
sensor could be damaged.
When changing tires and wheels
When changing the tires or wheels
(such as installing winter tires), it will
be necessary to register the ID signal
code of the tire pressure sensor to the
TPMS.
Have an Authorized Mazda Dealer do
the registration or register the ID signal
codes of the tire pressure sensors using
the following procedure.
NOTE
The tire pressure sensors on each
wheel have a unique ID signal code.
For the TPMS to operate correctly, the
ID signal codes of the tire pressure
sensors need to be registered to the
system.
1. Wait more than 19 minutes after changing a tire or wheel.
2. After more than 19 minutes have passed, drive the vehicle at a speed
of 25 km/h (16 mph) or faster for 3
minutes or longer. While driving,
the ID signal codes of the tire
pressure sensors are automatically
registered.

Always close the door and windows
when refueling. If a fire occurs with
the doors or windows open, the
flames may spread into cabin.
Do not spill fuel on the vehicle while
refueling. It may cause discoloration,
stains, or paint damage.
Do not use any non-genuine
fuel-filler cap. Use of a non-genuine
fuel-filler cap may lead to a
malfunction in the fuel system or
emission system.

been correctly installed, the fuel cap
warning light may continue to
illuminate until a number of driving
cycles have been completed. A drive
cycle consists of starting the engine
(after four or more hours with the
engine off) and driving the vehicle on
city and highway roads. Continuing
to drive with the check fuel cap
warning light illuminated could cause
the check engine light to illuminate
as well.Refueling
