Essential Safety Equipment
SRS Air Bags
Do not increase the total seated weight on the front passenger seat:
When an infant or small child sits on the front passenger seat, increasing the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat is dangerous. The front passenger seat weight sensors
will detect the increased total seated weight, which could result in the unexpected
deployment of the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner
system in an accident and may cause serious injury. Increasing the total seated weight on
the front passenger seat could result in the front passenger front and side air bags and
seat belt pretensioner system deployment in an accident under the following conditions,
for example:
¾ Luggage or other items are placed on the seat with the child in the child-restraint
system.
¾ A rear passenger or luggage push or pull down on the front passenger seatback.
¾ A rear passenger steps on the front passenger seat rails with their feet.
¾ Luggage or other items are placed on the seatback or hung on the head restraint.
¾ Heavy items are placed in the seatback map pocket.
¾ The seat is washed.
¾ Liquids are spilled on the seat.
¾ The front passenger seat is moved backward, pushing into luggage or other items
placed behind it.
¾ The front passenger seatback contacts the rear seat.
¾ Luggage or other items are placed between the front passenger seat and driver seat.
¾ Any accessories which might increase the total seated weight on the front passenger
seat are attached to the front passenger seat.
CAUTION
¾ To assure proper deployment of the front air bag and to prevent damage to the sensors in
the front seat bottoms:
¾ Do not place sharp objects on the front seat bottoms or leave heavy luggage on them.
¾ Do not spill any liquids on the front seats or under the front seats.
¾ To allow the sensors to function properly, always perform the following:
¾ Adjust the front seats as far back as possible and always sit upright against the
seatbacks with seat belts worn properly.
¾ If you place your child on the front passenger seat, secure the child-restraint system
properly and slide the front passenger seat as far back as possible (page 2-30 ).

When Driving
i-ELOOP
i-ELOOP *
On conventional vehicles, the kinetic energy that is generated when the vehicle is
decelerated by applying the brakes or during engine braking ends up being discarded as
heat. By utilizing this discarded kinetic energy to generate electricity and use it to power the
vehicle's electrical devices and accessories such as the A/C and audio, fuel consumption can
be reduced. Mazda's system for generating electricity from this kinetic energy is called the
Regenerative Braking System (i-ELOOP).

y An emergency tire is used (The tire pressure monitoring system warning light may fl ash
and then continue illuminating).
y A tire is repaired using the puncture tire repair kit.
y The tire pressure is excessively higher than the specifi ed pressure, or the tire pressure is
suddenly lowered for some reason such as a tire burst during driving.
y The vehicle speed is lower than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph) (including when the vehicle is
stopped), or the drive period is shorter than 5 minutes.
y The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road or a slippery, icy road.
y Hard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as during
aggressive driving on a winding road.
y Load on the vehicle is applied to a tire such as by loading heavy luggage to one side of
the vehicle.
y System initialization has not been implemented with the specifi ed tire pressure.

When Driving
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
y The following conditions may affect the visibility of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
warning lights on the outside mirror, making it diffi cult to confi rm the illumination of the
lights:
y Ice or snow adheres to the surface of the outside mirrors.
y The door window glass is tinted.
y The radar sensors are equipped inside the rear bumper (page 4-114 ).
y Have the radar sensors inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer if any shock is applied
to the rear bumper, even in a minor accident. If the vehicle is driven with a damaged
radar sensor, the system may not operate properly resulting in an accident.
y For repairs or paintwork around the radar sensors, or replacement of the bumper,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
y The radar sensors of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system may be regulated under
the radio wave related laws of the country where the vehicle is driven. The sensors in this
system are approved for use in the U.S.A. (including territories), Canada, and Mexico.
If a vehicle with a Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is driven in a country other
than the U.S.A., Canada, or Mexico, the system has to be turned off using the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system monitors the detection areas on both sides of
the vehicle to the rear and when there are vehicles in the detection area it notifi es the driver
by illuminating the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning light while the vehicle speed is
about 10 km/h (6.2 mph) or faster and driving forward.
If the turn signal lever is operated to the side the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning
light is illuminated, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning light fl ashes and the system
warns the driver of the vehicle in the detection area using a BSM warning beep sound.

Interior Features
Climate Control System
Operating Tips
y Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.
y To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
dial on for a long period of time with the
ignition switched ON when the engine is
not running.
y Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system effi ciency.
y Use the climate control system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
y The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while in
a traffi c jam, or when you would like to
shut off outside air for quick cooling of
the interior.
y Use the outside air mode for ventilation
or windshield defrosting.
y If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the climate control system.
y Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes
at least once a month to keep internal
parts lubricated.
y Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
effi cient.
The refrigerant specifi cations are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. Check
the label before refi lling the refrigerant.
If the wrong type of refrigerant is used,
it could result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.
For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
