CAUTION
 


¾ When driving off -road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recommended that the
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off .




¾ Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specifi ed size, and the same manufacturer,
brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with signifi cantly diff erent wear
patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may not
operate normally.
 


¾ The laser sensor (front) includes a function for detecting a soiled windshield and informing
the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect plastic shopping bags,
ice or snow on the windshield. In such cases, the system cannot accurately determine a
vehicle ahead and may not be able to operate normally. Always drive carefully and pay
attention to the road ahead.

N O T E
 


y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the driver is deliberately
performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel).
 


y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the following conditions. 



y The engine is running.



y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) warning light (amber) does not illuminate.



y The vehicle speed is between about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph).



y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.



y The DSC operation is not turned off using the DSC OFF switch.



y The DSC is not malfunctioning. 



y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a near-infrared
laser beam and receiving the beam reÀ ected off the reÀ ector of the vehicle ahead, and
then using it for the measurement. Consequently, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
may not operate under the following conditions:
 


y ReÀ ection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.



y The vehicle ahead is signi¿ cantly dirty.



y Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.



y The window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used when it's
raining.
 


y The windshield is dirty.



y The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is accelerated
rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
 


y Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or high pro¿ le.



y Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.

When Driving
Cruise Control
To Temporarily Cancel
To temporarily cancel the system, use one
of these methods:
 


y Slightly depress the brake pedal.



y (Manual transaxle) 
 Depress the clutch pedal.



y 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.
N O T E
 


y If any of the following conditions occur,
the cruise control system is temporarily
canceled.
 


y The parking brake is applied.



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


y (Manual transaxle) 
 The shift lever is in the neutral
position.
 


y When the cruise control system is
temporarily canceled by even one of the
applicable cancel conditions, the speed
cannot be re-set.
 


y (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.

To Deactivate
To deactivate the system, press the OFF
switch.

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 ef¿ 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 traf¿ c jam, or when you would like to
shut off outside air for quick cooling of
the interior.
 


y Use the outside air position 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.

(With A/C switch)
 




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
ef¿ cient.

 The refrigerant speci¿ cations are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. Check
the label before re¿ 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.

Operating Tips for Audio
System
WARNING
Always adjust the audio while the
vehicle is stopped:
Do not adjust the audio control
switches while driving the vehicle.
Adjusting the audio while driving
the vehicle is dangerous as it could
distract your attention from the vehicle
operation which could lead to a
serious accident.
Even if the audio control switches are
equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking
down at them so that you can keep
your maximum attention on the road
while driving the vehicle.

CAUTION
For the purposes of safe driving,
adjust the audio volume to a level that
allows you to hear sounds outside of
the vehicle including car horns and
particularly emergency vehicle sirens.

N O T E
 


y To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the audio
system on for a long period of time
when the engine is not running.
 


y If a cellular phone or CB radio is used
in or near the vehicle, it could cause
noise to occur from the audio system,
however, this does not indicate that the
system has been damaged.
