Feature Highlights
AUTO -DIMMING  MIRRORS  AND HOME LINK® 
	 •	 		
Auto-dimming	automatically	darkens	your 	
rearview mirror and driver side door mirror 
to reduce headlight glare from the vehicles 
behind you.
	 •	 	 Auto-dimming	is	activated	every	time	the 	
vehicle is started.
NOTE: 
•	  
The driver side door mirror will appear to have a halo, or ring, around the outer  
edge of the mirror surface. This is actually the electrical circuitry that allows the  
mirror to dim. This is normal operation of the mirror.
•	 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	mirrors	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.
Genuine Mazda Accessory Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror with 
Compass and HomeLink® is available at your Authorized Mazda 
Dealer if your vehicle is not equipped with system.

S PORT  A/T MANUAL  SHIFT  MODE
The Sport A/T  Manual Shift Mode gives you 
the feel of driving a manual transmission by 
allowing you to manually shift to control engine 
rpm and torque when more control is desired.
To Use Manual Shift Mode:
	 •	 	 Shift	lever	from	D	to	M.
NOTE:
 Changing to manual mode   
can be done while driving the vehicle.
To Shift Up To A Higher Gear:
	 •	 	 Tap	shift	lever	back	(+)	once.
To Shift Down To A Lower Gear:

The transmission will automatically adjust how and when it shifts gears   
based on road conditions and your driving style. The transmission may stay   
in a lower gear longer than usual when going up or down hills or driving 
around corners. This feature gives you better control and a more connected 
driving experience. www.MazdaUSA.com
