When using the Wireless Charger
(Qi) to store items on, turn off the
Wireless Charger (Qi).
Do not place any metal object
between the charging area and the
mobile device. Also, do not apply
items such as a metallic sticker to the
Wireless Charger (Qi).
When charging, do not place any
item other than the mobile device to
be charged on the Wireless Charger
(Qi). In addition, do not place any
metal object, IC card, coin, or
magnetic item near the charging
area.
Remove dust or dirt from the
charging area before use.
Do not apply strong force or impact
to the Wireless Charger (Qi) or get it
wet.
Use only mobile devices which
support the Wireless Charger (Qi).
CAUTION
While a mobile device is placed on
the charging area, keep the vehicle
key away from the Wireless Charger
(Qi). The vehicle key may not be
detected due to radio wave
interference by the Wireless Charger
(Qi).
Charging may not operate normally
under the following conditions:
The mobile device is fully charged.
There is foreign matter between
the mobile device and the charging
area.
The temperature of the mobile
device is high.
The mobile device is placed with
the charging side facing upward.
The mobile device is placed in a
position extremely deviating from
the center of the charging area.
Your vehicle is in an area where
strong radio waves or electrical
noise occur such as near a
television tower, power plant, or
airport.
The Near Field Communication
(NFC) function setting of the
mobile device is on (depends on
the model of the mobile device).
Keep the following items away from
the charging area. Otherwise the
data stored on the mobile device
could be erased or the device could
malfunction.
Magnetic items such as magnets,
magnetic cards, and magnetic
recording media.
High precision devices such as
wristwatches.
Before using the Wireless Charger
(Qi), make sure to back up the data
stored on the mobile device. The

NOTE
Complete the programming within
30 seconds.
8. 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.
If the status indicator arrows are

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
difficulties programming a gate
operator by using the programming
procedures (regardless of where you
live), replace Step 4 of Programming
the HomeLink System with the
following:
NOTE
If programming a garage door opener
or gate operator, it is advised to unplug
the device during the “cycling” process
to prevent possible overheating.
While the indicator light is flashing in
amber, press the button on the
hand-held transmitter for 2 seconds
and release it repeatedly until the
indicator light changes from amber to
green.
Go back to Step 5 of Programming the
HomeLink System to complete the
procedure.
Operating the HomeLink System
Press the programmed HomeLink
button to operate a programmed
device.
Reprogramming the HomeLink system
To program a device to HomeLink
using a HomeLink button previously
trained, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired
HomeLink button. Do not release
the button.
2. After 20 seconds, the indicator light
flashes in amber. After the indicator
light flashes, release the HomeLink
button.

Warnings and Cautions
For Using the Floor Mat
We recommend the use of Genuine
Mazda floor mats.
WARNING
Make sure the floor mats are secured
with the grommets to prevent them
from bunching up under the foot
pedals (Driver's side).
Using a
floor mat that is not secured is
dangerous as it will interfere with the
accelerator and brake pedal operation
(driver's side), which could result in an
accident.
Only use a floor mat which conforms
to the shape of the floor on the driver's
side and make sure it is oriented
correctly.
Secure the floor mat using the
grommets.
There are various ways to secure floor
mats depending on the type used,
therefore secure the mat according to
the type.
After installing the floor mat, make
sure that it does not slide from side to
side or back and forth, and that there
is sufficient clearance with the
accelerator and brake pedals on the
driver's side.
After removing the floor mat for
cleaning or some other reason, always
securely reinstall it while paying
attention to the precautions just
mentioned.
Do not install two floor mats, one on
top of the other, on the driver's side.
Installing two floor mats, one on top of
the other, on the driver's side is
dangerous as the retention pins can
only keep one floor mat from sliding
forward.
Loose floor mat(s) will interfere with
the foot pedals and could result in an
accident.
If using an all-weather mat for winter
use always remove the original floor
mat.

Having the Vehicle Towed
We recommend that towing be done
only by an Authorized Mazda Dealer
or a commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing are necessary
to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Particularly when towing an AWD
vehicle, where all the wheels are
connected to the drive train, proper
transporting of the vehicle is absolutely
essential to avoid damaging the drive
system. Government and local laws
must be followed.
WARNING
Always tow an AWD vehicle with all
four wheels off the ground.
Towing an AWD vehicle with either the
front or rear wheels on the ground is
dangerous as the drive train could be
damaged, or the vehicle could trail
away from the tow truck and cause an
accident. If the drive train has been
damaged, transport the vehicle on a
flatbed truck.
CAUTION
Do not tow the vehicle pointed
forkward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the transmission.
Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. This could damage your
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed
equipment.
If the parking brake cannot be
released when towing the vehicle,
transport the vehicle with all front
and rear wheels raised
off the ground
as shown in the figure. If the vehicle
is towed without raising the wheels off the ground, the brake system
could be damaged.

Seat Belt Warning Light(Front Seat)
The warning light flashes for about 6
seconds if the driver or front
passenger's seat is occupied and the
seat belt is not fastened with the
vehicle power switched ON.
If the driver or front passenger's seat
belt is unfastened (only when the front
passenger's seat is occupied) and if the
vehicle is driven at about 20 km/h (12
mph) or faster, or about 10 km/h (6
mph) or faster for a continuous 30
seconds, with the seat belt unfastened,
the warning light flashes for a certain
period.
After a short time, the warning light
stops flashing, but remains illuminated.
In addition, when the warning light
flashes, a warning sound is activated.
Wear the seat belt.
NOTE
Placing heavy items on the front
passenger's seat may cause the front
passenger's seat belt warning
function to operate depending on
the weight of the item.
To allow the sensor that detects an
occupant to function properly, do
not sit on the front passenger's seat
with a cushion or other object on it.
The sensor may not function properly
because the additional seat cushion
could cause sensor interference.
If a small child is seated on the front
passenger's seat, the warning light
may not operate.
Seat Belt Warning Light(Rear Seat) (Red)
When the vehicle power is switched
ON, the warning lights turn on if the
seat belts are not fastened.

After the hybrid system is started, the
warning lights turn off after a short
period of time.
In addition, if a fastened seat belt is
unfastened, the warning light flashes
for a short period of time and then
turns off.
When the warning light flashes, a
warning sound is activated.
Wear the seat belt.
*1 The warning light also turns on when the rear seat is unoccupied.
