1 This indicator light turns on 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 sensor has determined that an adult is not sitting in the front passenger seat.
NOTE: If a smaller adult sits on the front passenger seat, the sensors might detect the adult as being
a child depending on the person’s physique and may deactivate the front passenger’s front/side
airbags and seat belt pretensioner. 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.

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).
• Shut the engine OFF by making sure the vehicle in park (A/T) and
• setting the parking brake, 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.
NOTE: Yo u can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
Emergency Engine Stop
Pushing and holding the START/STOP button or repeatedly pushing the
button while the engine is running will turn the engine OFF. Use only in case of
an emergency.
If the START/STOP ENGINE button indicator light flashes AMBER, this could
indicate a problem with the engine starting system. You may not be able to start
the engine or switch the ignition to ACC or ON. Have your vehicle inspec\
ted at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
NOTE: The engine may not start if the key cannot be detected. The Key
Indicator Light may flash RED or “Key not detected” may be displayed if the key
is placed in the cup holder.

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 (pp. 31-34) 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 opening) 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 .

Auto-Dimming Mirror
• Auto-dimming will automatically darken your rearview mirror and outside
driver’s mirror to reduce headlight glare from vehicles behind you.
• Auto-dimming is activated every time the engine is started.
NOTE:
In addition to the auto-dimming mirror’s rear light sensor, there is also a
front light sensor (not shown). Do not place or hang any objects over the front or rear
mirror light sensors; otherwise, the auto-dimming mirror will not operate properly.
HomeLink®
• This feature provides a convenient way to replace up to three
transmitters such as garage door openers, home lighting remotes
and other radio frequency devices.
• Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete programming details.
