ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS) (if equipped)
The adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) automatically turns the
headlight beam to the right or left in conjunction with the direction of
the steering wheel.
The AFS improves the direction of headlight illumination while cornering, and
only works when the vehicle is moving.
NOTE:
• With AFS, it is normal to see the headlights move and hear the sound of the
he adlight leveling motors at the front of the vehicle when the ignition is ON.
•
The system will need to be reset if the vehicle battery has been disconnected
or the system fuse has been replaced. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for
easy to follow resetting instructions.

LDWS
LANE DE PA RTU R E WARNING SYSTE M (LDWS) (if equipped)
The Lane Departure Warning System (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 of 37 mph
or higher, the system alerts the driver of the lane departure using the
following indicator lights and warning sound .
Use the LDWS switch to
turn system ON or OFF
NOTE: Any driver input (e.g., turn signal, steering or acceleration) will cancel warning.

WARNING: LDWS is only a supplementary system
for the prevention of a lane departure, however the
LDWS functions have 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 make lane corrections using
the steering wheel and drive safely.

Transmission
MANUAL SHIFT MODE (if eq uipped)
The 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 Shift Up To A
Higher Gear:
• Pull the steering
UP switch (+) once.
To Shift D own To A
Lower Gear:

- D OWN Shift
Switch+ UP Shift Switch
NOTE: Steering Shift Switches
can be used in “D” or “M”.
ACTIVE A DAPTI VE SHIFT (A AS) CONTROL
A AS will automatically adjust how and when the transmission 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.
(if equipped)
SPORT MOD E (if equipped)
SPORT mode allows greater response and
control when driving on mountain roads
as well as on freeways by adjusting the
transmission shift schedule.
Fuel consumption increases slightly because
higher engine speeds (i.e., lower gear position) are used in
Sports mode compared to normal mode. Use Sports mode
and normal mode depending on the road conditions and
situation. The SPORT mode indicator light in the instrument
cluster is illuminated while in SPORT mode and is not illuminated
while in normal mode.

i-ELOOP
i-ELOOP (if eq uipped)
The Mazda-unique regenerative braking system (i-ELOOP) generates and
stores electrical energy in a capacitor during deceleration. Through efcient
energy regeneration, storage, and usage, fuel economy is improved.
i-ELOOP Pre-Charge Mode
If the capacitor is discharged because of vehicle storage (the vehicle \
is parked
for long periods of time), the Multi-Information Display will display t\
he following
i-ELOOP warning message after engine startup:

If the vehicle is driven while the warning is displayed, a warning
sound will be heard and power steering assist will be limited.
