How to Set the Distance Between
Vehicles During Headway Control
The distance between vehicles is set to a
shorter distance each time the
switch is
pressed. The distance between vehicles is
set to a longer distance by pressing the
switch. The distance-between-vehicles can
be set to 4 levels; Long, medium, short,
and extremely short distance.
Distance-between-
vehicles guideline
(at 80 km/h (50 mph)
vehicle speed) Indication on display
Long (about 50 m (164
ft))
Medium (about 40 m
(131 ft))
Short (about 30 m (98
ft))
Extremely short (about
25 m (82 ft))
NOTE
  The distance between vehicles differs
depending on the vehicle speed, and
the slower the vehicle speed, the
shorter the distance.
  When the ignition is switched
to ACC or OFF and then the
engine is started again, the system
automatically sets the distance
between vehicles to the previous
setting.
Changing the Set Vehicle Speed
Changing the set vehicle speed using the
SET
/ SET switch
Press the SET
switch to accelerate. Press
the SET
switch to decelerate. The set
vehicle speed changes as follows each
time the SET
/ SET switch is pressed.
European
models Except
European
models
Short press 1 km/h (1 mph) 5 km/h (5 mph)
Long press 10 km/h (5 mph)
NOTE
For example, the set vehicle speed is
changed by pressing the SET
/ SET
switch four times as follows:
(European models)
The vehicle speed accelerates or
decelerates by 4 km/h (4 mph).
(Except European models)
The vehicle speed accelerates or
decelerates by 20 km/h (20 mph).

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to assure correct operation of each system.
 
 Do not adhere stickers (including transparent stickers) to the surface of the radiator
grille and front emblem in and around the radar sensor (front), 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 (front).
  The radar sensor (front) 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
(front) clean.
  Do not install a grille guard. 
 If the front part of the vehicle has been damaged in a vehicle accident, the position of
the radar sensor (front) may have moved. Stop the system immediately and always
have the vehicle inspected at an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
  Do not use the front bumper to push other vehicles or obstructions such as when
pulling out of a parking space. Otherwise, the radar sensor (front) could be hit and its
position deviated.
  Do not remove, disassemble, or modify the radar sensor (front). 
 For repairs, replacement or paint work around the radar sensor (front), consult an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
  Do not modify the suspension. If the suspension are modifi ed, the vehicle's posture
could change and the radar sensor (front) may not be able to correctly detect a vehicle
ahead or an obstruction.

When Driving
Cruise Control
NOTE
Accelerate if you want to speed up
temporarily when the cruise control is
on. Greater speed will not interfere with
or change the set speed. Take your foot
off the accelerator to return to the set
speed.
To Decrease Cruising Speed
Press the SET switch and hold it. The
vehicle will gradually slow.
Release the switch at the speed you want.
Press the SET
switch and release it
immediately to adjust the preset speed.
Multiple operations will decrease the
preset speed according to the number of
times it is operated.
Decreasing speed with a single SET
switch operation
Meter display for vehicle speed indicated
in km/h: 1 km/h (0.6 mph)
Meter display for vehicle speed indicated
in mph: 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
To Resume Cruising Speed at
More Than 25 km/h (16 mph)
If some other method besides the OFF
switch was used to cancel cruising speed
(such as applying the brake pedal) and the
system is still activated, the most recent
set speed will automatically resume when
the RESUME switch is pressed.
If vehicle speed is below 25 km/h (16
mph), increase the vehicle speed up to
25 km/h (16 mph) or more and press the
RESUME switch.
To Temporarily Cancel
To temporarily cancel the system, use one
of these methods:
 


 Slightly depress the brake pedal.



(Manual transaxle)
 Depress the clutch pedal.



 Press the CANCEL switch.
If the RESUME switch is pressed when
the vehicle speed is 25 km/h (16 mph) or
higher, the system reverts to the previously
set speed.
NOTE
  If any of the following conditions
occur, the cruise control system is
temporarily cancelled.
 


 The parking brake is applied.



(Vehicles with adjustable speed
limiter)
  The ON/OFF switch for the
adjustable speed limiter is pressed.
 


(Automatic transaxle)
 The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
 


(Manual transaxle)
 The shift lever is in the neutral
position.
 
 When the cruise control system is
temporarily cancelled by even one of
the applicable cancel conditions, the
speed cannot be re-set.
 (Automatic transaxle) The cruise control cannot be
cancelled while driving in manual
mode (selector lever shifted from
D to M position). Therefore, engine
braking will not be applied even
if the transaxle is shifted down
to a lower gear. If deceleration is
required, lower the set speed or
depress the brake pedal.

When Driving
Diesel Particulate Filter (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
Diesel Particulate Filter
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
The diesel particulate fi lter collects and
removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
PM collected by the diesel particulate
fi lter is cleared during normal driving,
however, PM may not be removed and the
diesel particulate fi lter indicator light may
illuminate under the following conditions:
 


 If the vehicle is driven at 15 km/h (9
mph) or less continuously.
 


 If the vehicle is repeatedly driven for a
short period of time (10 minute or less)
or driven while the engine is cold.
 


 If the vehicle is idled for a long time.
NOTE
The engine sound and exhaust gas smell
may change when PM is being removed
while driving.
Diesel Particulate Filter Indicator Light
When illuminated
The particulate matter (PM) cannot be
removed automatically and the amount of
collected PM reaches a specifi ed amount.
After the engine has suffi ciently warmed
up (engine coolant temperature of 80 °C
or more), depress the accelerator pedal and
drive the vehicle at a speed of 20 km/h
or more for about 15 to 20 minutes to
eliminate the PM. When fl ashing
Contact an expert repairer, we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is continually driven as
usual with the diesel particulate fi lter
indicator light illuminated, PM increases
and the indicator light may start fl ashing.
If the diesel particulate fi lter indicator
light starts fl ashing, have the vehicle
inspected immediately at an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer. If the vehicle is not
inspected and continues to be driven, the
engine may malfunction.
NOTE
When the diesel particulate fi lter
indicator light fl ashes, the engine
output is restricted to protect the diesel
particulate fi lter.

Interior Features
Audio System
Signals from an FM transmitter are similar
to beams of light because they do not
bend around corners, but they do refl ect.
Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot
travel beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM
stations cannot be received at the great
distances possible with AM reception.
AM wave FM wave
FM wave
100—200 km (60—120 miles) Ionosphere
Atmospheric conditions can also affect
FM reception. High humidity will cause
poor reception. However, cloudy days may
provide better reception than clear days.
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 characterised by sound breakup.
