WARNING
2 This indicator light illuminates to remind you that the front passenger’s front/side airbags
and seat belt pretensioner will not deploy during a collision. The reason for this is that the
weight in the seat is less than approximately 66 lbs. Always wear your seat belt and secure children in the rear
seats in appropriate child restraints. See the Owner’s Manual for important information on this safety feature.
NOTE:
Indicator light turns of f when conditions have been met for necessar y airbag deployment. See

STARTING THE ENGINE WITH
ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
The Mazda3 is equipped with SKYACTIV combustion technology.
This technology includes AWS (Accelerated Warm-up System) for
optimal emission performance during cold starting conditions.
While Carrying the Key…
• Start the engine by pushing the START/STOP ENGINE button while
pushing the clutch pedal (M/ T) or the brake pedal (A / T).
What you will notice? On start-up, the engine speed and sound are
higher (1500 RPM) for less than 1 minute to quickly bring the catalyst
to efficient operating temperature. The RPM will reduce to idle once the
temperature is achieved. This is normal engine operation under cold
start conditions.
What this does? This heats up the catalytic converter faster to reduce
emissions and allows Mazda to use an exhaust header on the engine
(to improve efficiency and horsepower).
NOTE:
Yo u can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
Key
• Shut the engine OFF by setting the parking brake/placing the
vehicle in Park (A / T), then push the START/STOP ENGINE button.
• Activate Accessories (ACC) by pushing the START/STOP
ENGINE button once without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
• Turn the ignition to the ON position by pushing the START/STOP
ENGINE button twice without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
The key indicator light
in the instrument cluster will show GREEN
(engine ready to start) when the key is detected and the clutch pedal (M/ T)
or the brake pedal (A / T) is pushed. If the KEY warning light illuminates
RED , or the START/STOP ENGINE button indicator light flashes AMBER ,
this could indicate a problem with the engine starting system and the
inability to start the engine or switch the ignition to ACC or ON. Have your
vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

NOTE:
RED Key Indicator Light may flash if the key is placed in the cup holder.
The key may not be detected in the cup holder .

• Do not maintain one constant
speed, either slow or fast,

• Avoid full-throttle starts.
• Avoid unnecessary hard stops.
• Do not drive constantly at
full-throttle or high engine rpm
for extended periods of time.

START/STOP ENGINE button
or repeatedly pushing the button
while the engine is running will
turn the engine OFF. Use only in
case of an emergency.
Emergency Vehicle Entry

unlock the doors.
Emergency Engine Start
If the engine cannot be started
due to a dead key battery:

1 Push the brake pedal (A / T)
or the clutch pedal (M/ T).
2 While the indicator light flashes
GREEN , touch the START/STOP

Tires
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
For your safety, the Mazda3 is equipped with TPMS that detects low tire
pressure in one or more tires. If the tire pressure starts getting low in
one or more tires, the system alerts the driver by turning on a light in the
instrument cluster (p. 35-38) and sounding an alarm.
What to do? Don’t ignore the TPMS warning light. Stop and check your
tire pressure (when tires are cold) and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Properly inflated tires are safer, last longer, and increase fuel economy.
In the following cases, the TPMS must be “initialized” so the system can
operate normally.
• The tire pressure is adjusted (up or down) in one or more tires.
• A tire rotation is performed.
• Any tire or wheel is replaced.
• The vehicle’s battery is disconnected, replaced or completely dead.
Initialization Process
(TPMS Warning Light
is Illuminated)
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place and firmly apply the parking brake.
2 Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specified
pressure (See tire label located on the driver’s side door jam area) on
all four (4) tires.
3 Switch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked.
4 Push and hold the TPMS “Set Switch”
(left side of dash) until the TPMS warning
light
in the instrument cluster flashes
twice and a beep sound is heard once.
CAUTION: If the TPMS “Set Switch” is pushed without adjusting the tire
pressure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure. The TPMS
warning light may not turn on, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may turn on
if the tire pressure is normal.
NOTE: Drastic changes in temperature or altitude may cause the TPMS warning
light to turn on.

Headrests
For your safety, the front seats are equipped with active headrests that
are not adjustable forward or backward, only up and down. An active
headrest is designed to move forward in the event of a collision to close
the gap between your head and the headrest (to prevent whiplash).
Driver’s Seat Lumbar Support Adjustment
(if equipped)
To increase the lumbar support, move the lever
upward. Move the lever downward to decrease
lumbar support.
5‐door hatchback
Push the button to fold
down the seatback.
NOTE: For tall drivers and front passengers who
adjust the front seats all the way back, the headrests
on the rear seats need to be removed when folding the
rear seatbacks down. If not removed, the rear headrest
will press into the front seatback. In order to remove the
headrest from the rear seat, the seatback needs to be
tilted slightly forward.
NOTE: Left rear seat release is shown .

FORWARD OBSTRUCTION WARNING (FOW)
The Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) system alerts the
driver of a possible collision using an indicator in the active
driving display and instrument cluster along with a warning sound.
The system operates when driving at 10 mph (15 km/h) or faster and the\

system’s radar sensor determines that your vehicle may hit a vehicle or
obstruction ahead.
CAUTION: Do not rely completely on the MRCC system and always
drive carefully obeying the speed limit.
NOTE: The MRCC sometimes will brake your vehicle when passing a semi truck (tractor
trailer). This is normal. Simply press the accelerator pedal to override the system.
NOTE: FOW can be turned off using the DSC OFF button.
WARNING: FOW is only a supplementar y system designed to reduce damage in
the event of a collision. The FOW has limitations and does not detect all objects. Do not
rely solely on the FOW. Relying solely on the FOW may cause an unexpected accident
resulting in death or serious injur y. Always keep your eyes on the road.
