If an obstruction in the same detection range is detected continuously for 6
seconds or longer, only the warning sound stops (excluding the closest detection
range). When the detection range changes to the close side, the warning sound
resumes.
Tu r n i n g off the parking sensors
The parking sensors turn off and the parking sensor OFF switch indicator light turns
on.
If the switch is pressed again, the pa
rking sensors become operational and the
indicator light of the switch turns off.
System problem indication
If a problem occurs, the following display notifies the driver. The system may have
a malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag
of sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
check the following:
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Refer to Inspecting the Coolant on
page 9-14.
Inspect the battery and its cables.
Cold reduces battery capacity.
Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that
the vehicle will be driven in (page
9-18).
Inspect the ignition system for
damage and loose connections.
Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze―but do not use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid
(page 9-17).
When driving on ice or in water, snow,
mud, sand, or similar hazards:
Be cautious and allow extra distance
for braking.
Avoid sudden braking and sudden
maneuvering.
Do not pump the brakes. Continue
to press down on the brake pedal.
Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS)
on page 5-84.
If you get stuck, select a lower gear
and accelerate slowly. Do not spin
the rear wheels.
For more traction in starting on
slippery surfaces such as ice or
packed snow, use sand, rock salt,
chains, carpeting, or other nonslip
material under the rear wheels.
NOTE
Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windshield is dangerous
as it could obstruct vision.
Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice
or frozen snow on the mirror glass
and windshield.
Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.
Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely affected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake
components. If this situation occurs,
drive the vehicle slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to
normal.

Snow Tires
WARNING
Use only the same size and type tires
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all 4
wheels:
Using tires different in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly affected and result in
an accident.
CAUTION
Check local regulations before using
studded tires.
Use snow tires on all 4 wheels
Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75
mph) while driving with snow tires.
When installing winter tires, use tires of
the specified size and adjust the air
pressure of all the tires to the specified
value. (page 10-71).

The vehicle is originally equipped with
all season radials designed to be used
all year around. In some extreme
climates you may find it necessary to
replace them with snow tires during
the winter months to further improve
traction on snow and ice covered
roads.
Tire Chains
Check local regulations before using
tire chains.
CAUTION
 Chains may aff ect handling.
 Do not go faster than 50 km/h (30
mph) or the chain manufacturer's
recommended limit, whichever is
lower.
 Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, and sharp turns.
 Avoid locked-wheel braking.
 Do not use chains on a temporary
spare tire; it may result in damage to
the vehicle and to the tire.
 Do not use chains on roads that are
free of snow or ice. The tires and
chains could be damaged.
 Chains may scratch or chip
aluminum wheels.
NOTE
The tire pressure monitoring system
may not function correctly when using
tire chains.
Install the chains on the rear tires only.
Do not use chains on the front tires.
Please consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
Installing the chains
1. Secure the chains on the rear tires
as tightly as possible. Always follow
the chain manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Retighten the chains after driving 1/2 ―1 km (1/4 ―1/2 mile).

The display indicates whether
recirculate mode (
) or fresh air
mode (
) is selected.
WARNING
Do not recirculate the air in the cabin
during cold or rainy weather.
Recirculating the air in the cabin during
cold and rainy weather is dangerous as
it will cause the windows to fog up.
Your vision will be hampered, which
could lead to a serious accident.
Recirculate mode (
)
Outside air is shut off. Air within the
vehicle is recirculated. Use this
position when going through tunnels,
driving in congested traffic (high engine
exhaust areas) or when quick cooling is
desired.
Fresh air mode (
)
Outside air is allowed to enter the
cabin.
Use this mode for ventilation or
windshield defrosting.
NOTE
The recirculated air position is the
default position whenever the
ignition is switched ON, the climate
control system is on, and the outside
temperature exceeds about 73 °F
(23 ℃).
To exit the default recirculated air
position, press the air intake selector
switch to select the outside air
position.
When the air intake selector switch is
set to the outside air position and
the outside temperature exceeds
about 73 °F (23 ℃), the climate
control system may automatically
select the recirculated air position to
improve the efficiency of the climate
control system.
Mode selector switch
The desired airflow mode can be
selected.
The mode changes each time the
switch is pressed. The selected mode is
indicated on the display.

when defrosting the windshield.
Otherwise, the outer side of the
windshield will frost causing reduced
visibility which may lead to an
accident.
NOTE
For faster defrosting , do any of the
following operations.
Operate the fan switch and
increase the airflow amount.

Convenient Ways to Usethe Fully AutomaticClimate Control
Cabin Preconditioning
Cabin preconditioning is a collective
term regarding use of the climate
control timer and the remote climate
control.
While the climate control timer or the
remote climate control is operating ,
you can check the setting status on
your Smartphone.
Climate Control Timer
By setting the departure time using
Mazda Connect, the climate control
system operates and adjusts the cabin
temperature by the departure time.
The departure time, day, set
temperature, and defroster operation/
non-operation can be personalized,
and 7 types of patterns can be
programmed in advance.
Remote Climate Control
Using your Smartphone, you can turn
on the climate control system remotely
before departing.
WARNING
Do not operate the cabin
preconditioning with people or pets
in the vehicle.
The cabin preconditioning may stop
automatically due to the vehicle
conditions and the surrounding
environment. If the climate control
system stops and the temperature
inside the vehicle increases or
decreases, it could cause a serious
medical condition such as heat
exhaustion and dehydration.
CAUTION
 If any of the following conditions is
met, the cabin preconditioning will
not operate. In addition, if the cabin
preconditioning is operating, it will
stop. However, if the liftgate is
opened while the cabin
preconditioning is operating, the
cabin preconditioning will not stop.
When the cabin preconditioning
does not operate or stops, the cabin
preconditioning cancel display is
indicated on the display.
 The high voltage battery or the
lead-acid battery charge is low
 The doors/liftgate are open
 The vehicle power is switched to a
position other than OFF
 There is a problem with the vehicle
 If any of the following conditions is
met, the climate control system will
not operate effectively and the cabin
temperature may not reach the set
temperature.
 Your power consumption is high
 Extremely high or low
temperatures
 The climate control system operates
so that it reaches the set temperature
at the departure time, and stops at
the departure time. The cabin
temperature may not reach the set
temperature if you get in the vehicle
earlier or later than the set departure
time.
 If you operate the cabin
preconditioning while charging the
vehicle, it could take more time to
charge the battery. In addition, when
it is extremely hot or cold, the power
consumption of the climate control
system is high, therefore the charge
amount may be less than the preset
charge amount.
