Radar Sensor
CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to assure correct operation of each system.
¾ Do not adhere stickers (including transparent stickers) to the surface of the radiator
grille and front emblem in and around the radar sensor, and do not replace the
radiator grille and front emblem with any product that is not a genuine product
designed for use with the radar sensor.
¾ The radar sensor includes a function for detecting soiling of the radar sensor's front
surface and informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may
require time to detect or it may not detect plastic shopping bags, ice or snow. If this
occurs, the system may not operate correctly, therefore always keep the radar sensor
clean.
¾ Do not install a grille guard.
¾ If the front part of the vehicle has been damaged in a vehicle accident, the position of
the radar sensor may have moved. Stop the system immediately and always have the
vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

When Driving
Drive Selection
Drive Selection *
Mazda Drive Selection provides an opportunity to select a different driving characteristic
when SPORT mode is activated. By selecting SPORT mode, greater vehicle response
is achieved through automatic adjustments in transaxle shift control and engine throttle
control. This provides additional quick acceleration which may be needed to safely make
maneuvers such as lane changes, merging onto freeways, or passing other vehicles.
NOTE
If driving long distances in SPORT mode, the fuel economy will decrease due to the
frequency of driving in lower gears. Driving in SPORT mode all of the time is not
recommended. SPORT mode is best used only in situations requiring quick, responsive
driving.

When Driving
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
CAUTION
Do not modify the suspension. If the vehicle height or the damping force of the
suspensions is changed, the LDWS may not operate correctly.
NOTE
y If your vehicle deviates from its traffi c lane, the LDWS operates (warning sound and
indicator light). Steer the vehicle adequately to drive the vehicle to the center of the lane.
y When the turn signal lever is operated for a lane change, the LDWS warning is
automatically canceled. The LDWS warning becomes operable when the turn signal lever
is returned and the system detects the white or yellow lines.
y If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the
vehicle moves close to a white or yellow line, the system determines that the driver is
making a lane change and the LDWS warning is automatically canceled.
y The LDWS may not operate during the period immediately after the vehicle has deviated
from its lane and the LDWS has operated, or the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly
within a short period of time.
y The LDWS does not operate if it does not detect the white or yellow lines of the traffi c
lane.

Interior Features
Audio System
Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be refl ected by
obstructions, it is possible to receive both
the direct signal and the refl ected signal
at the same time. This causes a slight
delay in reception and may be heard as a
broken sound or a distortion. This problem
may also be encountered when in close
proximity to the transmitter.
Reflected wave
Direct
Flutter/Skip noise
Signals from an FM transmitter move in
straight lines and become weak in valleys
between tall buildings, mountains, and
other obstacles. When a vehicle passes
through such an area, the reception
conditions may change suddenly, resulting
in annoying noise.
Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast signals
become weak because of distance from the
transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas
is characterized by sound breakup.
Strong signal noise
This occurs very close to a transmitter
tower. The broadcast signals are extremely
strong, so the result is noise and sound
breakup at the radio receiver.
Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area of two
strong stations broadcasting at similar
frequencies, the original station may be
temporarily lost and the second station
picked up. At this time there will be some
noise from this disturbance.
