Driving Tips
Turbocharger Information (SKYACTIV-D 1.5)
CAUTION
  After driving at freeway speeds or up a long hill, idle the engine at least 30 seconds
before stopping it. Otherwise, the turbocharger could be damaged. However, when
i-stop operates, idling is unnecessary.
  Racing or over-revving the engine, particularly after it's just been started, can damage
the turbocharger.
  To protect the engine from damage, the engine is designed so that it cannot be raced
just after starting it in extremely cold weather.
The turbocharger greatly enhances engine power. Its advanced design provides improved
operation and requires minimum maintenance.

To get the most from it, observe the following.

1. Change engine oil and ¿ lter according to Scheduled Maintenance (page 6-3 ).
2. Use only recommended engine oil (page 6-23 ). Extra additives are NOT
recommended.

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
WARNING
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) when the vehicle is running on a chassis
roller or being towed:
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system to prevent mistaken operation
when the vehicle is running on a chassis roller or being towed.
Refer to the Stopping the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation on page
4-160 on how to turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system.
CAUTION
  When driving off-road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recommended that
the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off.
  Always use tyres for all wheels that are of the speci¿ ed size, and the same
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tyres with signi¿ cantly
different wear patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
system may not operate normally.
  The laser sensor includes a function for detecting a soiled windscreen and informing
the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect plastic shopping
bags, ice or snow on the windscreen. In such cases, the system cannot accurately
determine a vehicle ahead and may not be able to operate normally. Always drive
carefully and pay attention to the road ahead.

NOTE
Changing the engine oil should be done by an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Recommended Oil
In order to keep the maintenance interval (page 6-3 ) and to protect the engine from
damage caused by poor lubrication, it is vitally important to make use of engine oil with
the correct speci¿ cation. Do not use oils which do not meet the following speci¿ cations or
requirements. Use of unsuitable oil may lead to engine damage which is not covered by the
Mazda Warranty.

Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
Engine oil viscosity, or thickness, has an effect on fuel economy and cold-weather operation
(starting and oil À ow).
Low-viscosity engine oils can provide improved fuel economy and cold-weather
performance.

When choosing an oil, consider the temperature range your vehicle will operate in before
the next oil change.
Then select the recommended viscosity from the chart.
CAUTION
  Using oils of viscosity besides those recommended for speci¿ c temperature ranges
could result in engine damage.
 
 (SKYACTIV-D 1.5)  SKYACTIV-D 1.5 uses speci¿ ed oil. Please con¿ rm the speci¿ cation in owner's
manual. If engine oil other than the speci¿ ed oil is used, the Diesel Particulate
Filter effective period of use will be shortened or the Diesel Particulate Filter may
be damaged.

Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
*Some models.
NOTE
  Because genuine leather is a natural
material, its surface is not uniform
and it may have natural scars,
scratches, and wrinkles.
  To maintain the quality for as long
as possible, periodical maintenance,
about twice a year, is recommended.
  If the leather upholstery comes into
contact with any of the following,
clean it immediately.
 Leaving it uncleaned could cause
premature wear, mold, or stains.
 


 Sand or dirt



 Grease or oil, such as hand cream



 Alcohol, such as in cosmetic or
hair dressing items


 If the leather upholstery gets wet,
promptly remove moisture with a
dry cloth. Remaining moisture on the
surface may cause deterioration such
as hardening and shrinkage.
  Exposure to direct sunlight for long
periods may cause deterioration
and shrinkage. When parking the
car under direct sunlight for long
periods, shade the interior using
sunshades.
  Do not leave vinyl products on
the leather upholstery for long
periods. They may affect the leather
quality and colouring. If the cabin
temperature becomes hot, the vinyl
may deteriorate and adhere to the
genuine leather.
Plastic Part Maintenance
CAUTION
Do not use polishing agents.
Depending on the product ingredients,
they could cause discolouration, stains,
cracks or peeling of the coating.
Instrument Panel Top
Maintenance
1. Wipe the soiled area with a soft cloth
soaked in a mild detergent
(approx. 5%) diluted with water.
2. Wipe off the remaining detergent using
a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.

Active Driving Display
Maintenance *
The combiner and mirror surface have
a special coating. When cleaning it, do
not use a hard cloth, a cloth with a rough
surface, or cleaning detergent. Use a ¿ ne-
textured, soft cloth.
If a chemical solvent gets on the combiner
or mirror surface, wipe it off immediately.
Otherwise, they could be damaged and the
surface coating could be scratched.
