Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle:
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This gas contains carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colourless, odourless, and poisonous. When inhaled, it can cause loss of consciousness and
death. If you smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle, keep all windows fully open and contact an
expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer immediately.
Do not run the engine when inside an enclosed area:
Running the engine inside an enclosed area, such as a garage, is dangerous. Exhaust gas,
which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could easily enter the cabin. Loss of
consciousness or even death could occur.
Open the windows or adjust the heating or cooling system to draw fresh air when idling the
engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the vehicle is stopped with the windows closed and the
engine running for a long time even in an open area, exhaust gas, which contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, could enter the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occur.
Clear snow from underneath and around your vehicle, particularly the tail pipe, before
starting the engine:
Running the engine when a vehicle is stopped in deep snow is dangerous. The exhaust pipe
could be blocked by the snow, allowing exhaust gas to enter the cabin. Because exhaust gas
contains poisonous carbon monoxide, it could cause loss of consciousness or even death to
occupants in the cabin.

¾After driving at freeway speeds or up a long hill, trailer towing for a long time, idle the
engine at least 30 seconds before stopping it. Otherwise, the turbocharger could be
damaged. However, when i-stop operates, idling is unnecessary.
¾Racing or over-revving the engine, particularly after it's just been started, can damage the
turbocharger.
¾To protect the engine from damage, the engine is designed so that it cannot be raced just
after starting it in extremely cold weather.

Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is
moving:
Stopping the engine while the vehicle is
moving for any reason other than in an
emergency is dangerous. Stopping the
engine while the vehicle is moving will
result in reduced braking ability due to the
loss of power braking, which could cause
an accident and serious injury.

Do not rely completely on the vehicle roll prevention function.
¾The vehicle roll prevention function is a supplementary function which operates for a
maximum of 4 seconds after releasing the brake pedal and accelerating the vehicle from an
engine idling stop condition. Over reliance on the system may result in an unexpected
accident if the vehicle were to suddenly accelerate. Before starting to drive the vehicle,
always confirm the safety of the surroundings and operate the selector lever, brake pedal,
and accelerator pedal appropriately. Note that the vehicle may move suddenly depending
on the vehicle's load or if it is towing something.
¾Note that the vehicle may move suddenly after the vehicle roll prevention function is
released while the vehicle is under the following conditions:
¾The selector lever is in the N position.
¾If the selector lever is shifted to the N position and the brake pedal is released while the
i-stop function is operating, the brake force is gradually released. To accelerate the
vehicle, release the brake pedal after the engine restarts and shift the selector lever to a
position other than the N position.
NOTE
xWhen the vehicle is stopped on a steep grade, the vehicle roll prevention function does not
operate because engine idling is not stopped.
xThe brake pedal response may change, sound may occur from the brakes, or the brake
pedal could vibrate from the operation of the vehicle roll prevention function. However,
this does not indicate a malfunction.

following conditions:
xThe driver's door is open.
xThe driver's seat belt is unfastened.
xThe clutch pedal is not released
completely after the engine stalled.
xThe clutch pedal is depressed with the
engine not stopped completely.

When the shift lever is shifted to the R
position with the ignition switched ON,
the parking sensor system is activated
and a beep sound is heard.

Do not rely solely on the shift-up/
shift-down recommendations by
indications. The actual driving situation
might require shift operations different
from indication. To avoid the risk of
accidents, the road and traffic conditions
have to be judged correctly by the driver
before shifting.
NOTE
The GSI turns off when the following
operations are performed.
xThe vehicle is stopped.
xThe vehicle is put in neutral.
xThe vehicle is driven in reverse.
xThe clutch is not fully engaged when
accelerating from a stop.
xThe clutch pedal remains depressed for
2 seconds or longer while driving.
