          Cruise Control Function
            While  this  function  is  operating,  the 
headway control operation is canceled and 
only the cruise control function operates.
  The vehicle speed can be set more than 
about 25 km/h (16 mph).
  Use the cruise control function on 
expressways and other highways which do 
not require a lot of repeated acceleration 
and deceleration.
  WARNING 
  Do not use the cruise control function in 
the following locations:   Otherwise, it could lead to an accident.
    Roads with sharp curves and where vehicle traffi     c is heavy and there is 
insuffi    cient space between vehicles. 
(Driving under these conditions 
using the cruise control function is 
not possible)
  Steep down slopes (Set speed may  be exceeded because suffi   cient 
engine braking cannot be applied)
  Slippery roads such as ice or snow- bound roads (Tires could spin 
causing you to lose vehicle control)
    
  Always  drive  carefully:   The warnings and brake control 
will not operate after the headway 
control function is canceled and the 
system is switched to only the cruise 
control function. Depress the brake 
pedal to decelerate according to the 
surrounding conditions while keeping 
a safer distance from the vehicle ahead 
and always driving carefully.

When Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
  CAUTION 
  Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and infl  ated to the infl  ation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle 
placard or tire infl  ation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a diff  erent size than the 
size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire infl  ation pressure label, you should determine 
the proper tire infl  ation pressure for those tires.)
  As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring  system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires 
is signifi  cantly under-infl  ated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, 
you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and infl  ate them to the proper 
pressure. Driving on a signifi  cantly under-infl  ated tire causes the tire to overheat and can 
lead to tire failure. Under-infl  ation also reduces fuel effi    ciency and tire tread life, and may 
aff  ect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
  Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the 
driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-infl  ation has not 
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
  Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. 
  The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will fl  ash for approximately one minute and then 
remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle 
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, 
the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS 
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement 
or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. 
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on 
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to 
continue to function properly.
  To avoid false readings, the system samples for a little while before indicating a problem. As a result it will not instantaneously register a rapid tire defl  ation or blow out.

 Bluetooth ® 
               Introduction
    Bluetooth ®  Hands-Free outline
    When  a  Bluetooth 
®  device (mobile phone) is connected to the vehicle's Bluetooth ®  unit, a 
call can be made or received by pressing the talk button, pick-up button\
, or hang-up button 
on the audio remote control switch. For example, even if a device (mobi\
le phone) is in your 
coat pocket, a call can be made without taking the device (mobile phone\
) out and operating 
it directly.
  Bluetooth 
®  audio outline
    When a portable audio unit equipped with the Bluetooth 
®  communication function is paired 
to the vehicle, you can listen to music stored on the paired portable au\
dio device from the 
vehicle's speakers. It is not necessary to connect the portable audio de\
vice to the vehicle's 
external input terminal. After programming, operate the vehicle audio control panel to play/
stop the audio.
  
   NOTE
    For your safety, a device can be paired only when the vehicle is parked. If the vehicle 
starts to move, the pairing procedure will end. Park the vehicle in a safe place before 
pairing.
   The communication range of a Bluetooth ®  equipped device is about 10 meters (32 ft) or 
less.
    Basic audio operation is available using voice commands even if Bluetoot\
h ®  is not 
connected.

   NOTE
   The battery consumption of Bluetooth ®  
audio devices increases while 
Bluetooth 
®  is connected.    If a general mobile phone device is 
USB connected during music playback 
over the Bluetooth 
®  connection, the 
Bluetooth ®  connection is disconnected. 
For this reason, you cannot have music 
playback over a Bluetooth 
®   connection 
and music playback using a USB 
connection at the same time.
    The system may not operate normally 
depending on the Bluetooth ®   audio 
device.
     
         Switching to Bluetooth ®   audio 
mode
    To listen to music or voice audio recorded 
to a Bluetooth ®  audio device, switch to 
the Bluetooth ®  audio mode to operate 
the audio device using the audio system 
control panel. Any Bluetooth 
®   audio 
device must be paired to the vehicle's 
Bluetooth 
®  unit before it can be used.
  Refer  to  Bluetooth ®  Preparation (Type A) 
on  page   5-38 .
  
   1.   Turn  on  the  Bluetooth ®  audio device's 
power.

displayed in the audio display. The 
symbol is not displayed if an un-paired 
Bluetooth 
®  audio device is being used 
or the vehicle's Bluetooth ®  unit has a 
malfunction.
   NOTE
  Some  Bluetooth ®  audio devices need a 
certain amount of time before the “ 
 ” 
symbol is displayed.
   
   3.   Press  the  media  button  (  )  to 
switch to the Bluetooth ®  audio mode 
and start playback.

    Voice  recognition  related  problems
 Symptom  Cause  Solution  method 
 Poor voice recognition     
   Excessive,  slow  speech.    
    Excessive,  forceful  speech 
(shouting).  
  
  Speaking before the beep sound 
has ended.   
  
  Loud noise (speaking or noise from 
outside/inside vehicle).   
  
  Airfl  ow from A/C is blowing 
against the microphone.   
  
  Speaking  in  off-standard 
expressions  (dialect).       Regarding the causes indicated 
on the left, be careful with how 
you speak. In addition, when 
numbers are spoken in a sequence, 
recognition ability will improve 
if no stop is placed between the 
numbers. 
 False recognition of numbers 
 Poor voice recognition   There is a malfunction in the 
microphone.  A poor connection or malfunction 
with the microphone may have 
occurred. Consult an Authorized 
Mazda Dealer. 
 Phone-related voice recognition is 
disabled   There is a problem with the 
connection between the Bluetooth 
®  
unit and the device.   If there is any malfunction after 
checking the pairing situation, check 
for device pairing or connection 
problems. 
 Names in the phonebook are not 
easily recognized   The  Bluetooth 
®  system is under a 
condition in which recognition is 
diffi  cult.   By carrying out the following 
measures, the rate of recognition 
will improve.
         Clear memory from the phonebook 
which is not used very often.  
  
  Avoid shortened names, use full 
names. (Recognition improves the 
longer the name is. By not using 
names such as “Mom”, “Dad”, 
recognition  will  improve.)     
 When operating the audio, a song 
name is not recognized   Song names cannot be recognized 
by voice.

 You want to skip guidance   —  Guidance can be skipped by quickly 
pressing and releasing the Talk 
button. 
   
    Regarding  problems  with  calls
 Symptom 
 Cause  Solution  method 
 When starting a call, vehicle noise 
from the other party can be heard   For about three seconds after 
starting a call, the Bluetooth 
®  
unit's Noise Suppression function 
requires time to adapt to the call 
environment.   This does not indicate a problem 
with the device. 
 The other party cannot be heard or 
the speaker's voice is quiet   The volume is set at zero or low.   Increase the volume.
