NOTE
Always stop the engine and lock the
doors. In addition, to prevent theft of
valuables, do not leave them inside
the cabin.
If the key is left in the following areas
and you leave the vehicle, the doors
may be locked depending on the
radio wave conditions even if the key
is left in the vehicle.
Around the dashboardIn the storage compartments such
as the glove compartment or the
center console
On the rear parcel shelf (4–door)Next to a communication device
such as a mobile phone
When the ignition is switched to
ACC or ON, the vehicle lock-out
prevention feature prevents you from
locking yourself out of the vehicle.
All doors, fuel-filler lid, and liftgate
will automatically unlock if they are
locked using the power door locks
with any door or the liftgate open.
The vehicle lock-out prevention
feature does not operate while the
ignition is switched o ff.
When all doors, fuel-filler lid, and
liftgate are locked using the power
door lock with any door or the
liftgate/trunk lid open, the closed
doors, fuel- filler lid, and liftgate are
locked. After that, when all doors
and the liftgate/trunk lid are closed,
all doors and the liftgate/trunk lid
are locked. However, if the key is
inside the vehicle, all doors,
fuel- filler lid, and liftgate are
automatically unlocked.
(With the advanced keyless
function)
The beep sound is heard for about
10 seconds to notify the driver that
the key has been left in the vehicle.
(Without the advanced keyless
function)
The horn sound is heard twice to
notify the driver that the key has
been left in the vehicle.
(Door unlock (control) system with
collision detection)
This system automatically unlocks the
doors, fuel-filler lid, and liftgate in
the event the vehicle is involved in an
accident to allow passengers to get
out of the vehicle immediately and
prevent being trapped inside. While
the ignition is switched ON and in
the event the vehicle receives an
impact strong enough to in flate the
air bags, all the doors, fuel- filler lid,
and liftgate are automatically
unlocked after about 6 seconds have
elapsed from the time of the
accident.
The doors, fuel-filler lid, and liftgate
may not unlock depending on how
an impact is applied, the force of the
impact, and other conditions of the
accident.
If door-related systems or the battery
is malfunctioning, the doors, fuel- filler lid, and liftgate may not
unlock depending on your vehicle
type.

Odometer
The odometer records the total
distance the vehicle has been driven.
Tr i p m e te r
The driving distance for a
specified
interval is indicated. Two types (TRIP A,
TRIP B) of interval distance can be
measured.

For instance, trip meter A can record
the distance from the point of origin,
and trip meter B can record the
distance from where the fuel tank is
filled.

When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. When trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.

The trip meter can be reset by pressing
the TRIP switch for 1.5 seconds or
more while the trip meter is displayed.

Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS)
▼Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
The TPMS monitors the air pressure of
each tire and if it decreases below the
speci
fied value, the system
notifies the
driver by turning on the TPMS warning
light in the instrument cluster and
indicating a message on the
multi-information display.
For the TPMS, the air pressure data
sent from the tire pressure sensors
installed on each wheel via radio signal
is received by the receiver unit in the
vehicle to monitor the tire pressures.
1. Tire pressure sensors

In addition, the current tire pressures
can be checked using the center
display.
Refer to the Vehicle Status Monitor
section in the Mazda Connect
Owner's Manual.
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is
low, the tire temperatures also
decrease. If the tire temperatures
decrease, the air pressure in the tires
will also decrease which could turn
on the TPMS warning light.
Before driving, visually inspect the
tires for abnormalities. Additionally,
inspect the tire pressures monthly. A
digital type air pressure gauge is
recommended for inspecting the tire
pressures.
The TPMS is not a substitute for your
own periodic inspection of the tires.
Always inspect the tires yourself
periodically.
CAUTION
 Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and
inflated to
the in flation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or
tire in flation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire in flation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more
of your tires is significantly
under-in flated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible,
and in flate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a signi ficantly
under-in flated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-in flation also reduces fuel
e ffi ciency and tire tread life, and may
a ff ect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.

Only use SAE 5W-30 oil “Certified For
Gasoline Engines” by the American
Petroleum Institute (API).
Oil with this trademark symbol
conforms to the current engine and
emission system protection standards
and fuel economy requirements of the
International Lubricant Standardization
and Approval Committee (ILSAC),
comprised of U.S. and Japanese
automobile manufacturers.

Except U.S.A., Canada
Use SAE 5W -30 engine oil.
Oil container labels provide important
information.
A chief contribution this type of oil
makes to fuel economy is reducing the
amount of fuel necessary to overcome
engine friction.

For maintenance service, Mazda
recommends Mazda Genuine Parts.

(Mexico)
SKYACTIV -G 2.0 and SKYACTIV -G
2.5
Use API SM or higher, or ILSAC GF-IV
or higher/SAE 5W -30 engine oil. If SAE
5W -30 engine oil is not available, use
SAE 5W-20 engine oil.

The quality designation SM, or ILSAC
must be on the label.

SKYACTIV -G 2.5T
Use SAE 5W -30 engine oil. If SAE
5W -30 engine oil is not available, use
SAE 0W- 30 or SAE 10W -30 engine oil.

The quality designation SM or SN, or
ILSAC must be on the label.

Tires
▼Tires
For reasons of proper performance,
safety, and better fuel economy, always
maintain recommended tire
inflation
pressures and stay within the
recommended load limits and weight
distribution.
WARNING
Using Di fferent Tire Types:
Driving your vehicle with di fferent
types of tires is dangerous. It could
cause poor handling and poor braking;
leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the
temporary spare tire, use only the
same type tires (radial, bias-belted,
bias-type) on all four wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tires:
Using any other tire size than what is
speci fied for the vehicle (page 9-10)
is dangerous. It could seriously a ffect
ride, handling , ground clearance, tire
clearance, and speedometer
calibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Use only tires that
are the correct size speci fied for the
vehicle.
