LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM (LDWS) (if equipped)
The LDWS recognizes painted lane lines on a road using the forward
sensing camera (FSC) installed to the windshield. If the vehicle deviates
from its lane at speeds above 44 mph, the system alerts the driver using
the following indicators.
Use the LDWS switch to
turn system ON or OFF

WARNING: LDWS is only a supplementary
system to warn the driver that the vehicle may
be deviating from its lane, however the LDWS
has limitations. Do not rely solely on the LDWS.
Relying solely on the LDWS may cause an
unexpected accident resulting in death or serious
injury. Always pay attention to the direction in
which the vehicle is traveling and drive safely.
NOTE: • Any driver input (e.g., turn signal, steering or acceleration) will cancel warning.• You can change the warning indicator between a rumble or beeping sound
in the vehicle personalization features.

Blind Spot Monitoring System
NOTE: Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over
your shoulder before changing lanes:
• The BSM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the s\
urroundings,
but is not a complete substitute.
• The driver is responsible for ensuring safe lane changes and other maneuvers.
• Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.
• The BSM system does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than abo\
ut
6.2 mph (10 km/h).
Turning BSM System Off
Turning the BSM system off will turn off both the light and sound
indicators. To manually turn the BSM system off, push the BSM
OFF switch on the dash. The BSM OFF indicator will illuminate
in the instrument cluster when the BSM system is off. The BSM
system will retain the last setting before the ignition was turned off.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver
by monitoring the blind spots to the rear of the vehicle on both sides.
• If your vehicle speed is about 6.2 mph (10 km/h) or more, the BSM
will warn you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the
BSM warning lights located on the left and right door mirrors.
• If you operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM warning
light, the system will also warn you with a beep and warning light flash.
• BSM sensors are located under the left and right rear bumper areas.
The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper gets too
dirty, so keep the rear bumper area clean.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.

AUDIO OPERATION USING VOICE
Audio operation and media selection
can be done using voice. Push the
“TALK” button on the steering wheel, wait for a beep, then say a command in
a clear, natural voice (not too fast or too slow). Some common commands are listed below.

Play or Resume / Pause or
Stop / Next or Previous
Play (and any of the following):

Artist , Album
, Genre , Folder
Tune to Station
Tune to Channel Number (XM)
HD RADIO
HD radio has a special
receiver which allows it to
receive digital broadcasts (where available) in addition to the analog broadcasts it already receives. Digital broadcasts have better
sound quality than analog broadcasts as digital
broadcasts provide free,
crystal clear audio.
When the HD radio button is ON (red), there could be
a noticeable difference in sound quality and volume when a change from digital to analog signals occurs.
If the sound quality and
volume becomes noticeably
diminished or cuts off, select the HD button to turn OFF HD radio (not red).

GRACENOTE
The Gracenote media database is used to improve voice recognition of artist and album names with the Mazda Hands Free system. To make best use of the
voice recognition, install the most recent database.
1 Load the Gracenote update on a memory stick
from www.MazdaUSA.com/USB. Insert the
memory stick into the USB port.
2 Go to System Settings in the infotainment system.
3 Select Music Database Update.
NOTE: To use BT audio, make sure the musical
icon is displayed by going to Bluetooth in Device
settings. Some Bluetooth® audio devices need a
certain amount of time before the icon is displayed.
NOTE: Push the TALK button and say “Help” at any time to hear a list of
available commands.
