Introduction
nExtremely low or high temperatures may interfere with normal operationThe inside of the vehicle can become very hot or cold when it is parked for extended 
periods in direct sunlight or in cold places with the engine turned off. The navigation system 
may not operate normally under such circumstances. Turn off the navigation system until 
the inside of the vehicle has cooled down or warmed up. If the system does not operate 
thereafter, consult an Authorized Dealer, we recommend an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
This navigation system utilizes GPS* satellite signals, a speed sensor and gyrosensor to track 
and display your vehicle’s current position, and to guide you from your starting point to your 
destination along a calculated route.
* : GPS (Global Positioning System) is a position de tecting system utilizing the signals from GPS satellites 
deployed by the U.S. Defense Department.
The beep sound and voice guidance related to the navigation system operation are not heard 
while a Bluetooth Hands-Free is being used.
Screens displayed in this manual may differ from those on the actual display.
Direct sunlight or other outside light sources makes it difficult to view the images on the 
display. For moonroof-equipped vehicles, close the sunshade to better view the display.
