ACCELERATED WAR M-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
Vehicle Starting:
Your vehicle is equipped with SKYACTIV combustion technology. This
technology includes AWS (Accelerated Warm-up System) for optimal
emission performance during cold starting conditions.
Cold Start (e.g., First start of the day on cold mornings):
Depress the brake (Automatic Trans.) or clutch (Manual Trans.), when the key
indicator light turns green
(if equipped) push the START/STOP button.
What you will notice: On start-up, the engine speed and sound are
higher (1500 RPM) for 30 seconds to 1 minute to quickly bring the catalyst
to effcient operating temperature. The RPM will reduce to idle once the
temperature is achieved. This is normal engine operation under cold
start conditions.
NOT E:
Yo u can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
Normal Start (Emission components within optimal
temperature range):
Depress the brake (Automatic Trans.) or clutch (Manual Trans.), when the
key indicator light turns green push the START/STOP button.
Key
STARTING THE ENGINE
While Carrying the Key…
• Start the engine by pushing the START/STOP button, while
pushing the clutch pedal (manual transmission) or the brake pedal
(automatic transmission).
• Shut the engine OFF by placing the vehicle in Park, then push the
S TA R T/ S TO P b u t t o n .
• Activate Accessories (ACC) by pushing the START/STOP button
once without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
• To turn the ignition to the ON position, push the START/STOP
button twice without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
The key indicator light
in the instrument cluster will show GREEN
(en gine ready to start) when the key is detected and the clutch pedal (M/ T)
or the brake pedal (A / T) is pushed. If the KEY warning light illuminates
RE D, or the START/STOP button indicator light fashes AMBER , th is
could indicate a problem with the engine starting system and the inability
to start the engine or switch the ignition to ACC or ON. Have your vehicle
inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
NOT E:
RED Key Indicator Light may fash if the key is placed in the cup holder.
The key may not be detected in the cup holder .

FORWARD O BST RUC TION WAR NING (FOW)
Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) is a system which
alerts the driver of a possible collision using an indicator
and warning sound in the instrument cluster while the
vehicle is being driven at about 10 mph or faster (15 km/h
or faster) and the system’s radar sensor determines that
your vehicle may hit a vehicle or obstruction ahead.
HOW TO SET THE SPEE D
1 Adjust the vehicle speed to the desired setting using the
acce lerator pedal.
2 Hea dway control begins when the SET + or SET – switch is pushed.
The set speed and the inter-vehicle distance display flled with white
lines is displayed. The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) indicator
light (green) is indicated simultaneously.

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.

TIRE PRESSURE MONI TORING SYSTE M (TP MS)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that detects low tire pressure in one or more tires. In the following cases,
the TPMS must be “initialized” so the system can operate normally.
• The tire pressure is adjusted (up or down) in one or more tires.
• A tire ro tation is pe rformed.
• Any ti re or wh eel is re placed.
•
The ve hicle’s ba tter y is di sconnected, re placed or co mpletely de ad.
Initialization Process (TPMS Warning Light is Illuminated):
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place and frmly apply the parking brake.
2 Let t he tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specifed
pressure (S ee ti re la bel lo cated on th e dr i ve r’s si de B- pillar or ed ge
of dr iver’s door frame for specifcation) on all four (4) tires.
3 Swi tch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked.
4 Pus h and hold the TPMS “Set Switch” (left side of dash)
until the TPMS warning light
in the
instrument cluster fashes twice and a
beep sound is heard once.

Go to www.MyMazda.com, then select “Accessories” below the MyMazda
Home header for a complete listing of available accessories for your Maz\
da6.
NOTE: See Page 7 for TPMS switch location.
CAUTION: If the TPMS “Set Switch” is pushed without adjusting the tire
pressure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure. The TPMS
warning light may not illuminate, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may
illuminate if the tire pressure is normal.

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:

When the warning message is displayed, do not drive the vehicle. Allow the
engine to idle until the warning message is no longer displayed. This time is
needed for normal generator operation.
NOTE:
• If the vehicle is jump started, leave the jumper cables connected
until the warning message is no longer displayed.
•
If the vehicle is driven while the warning is displayed, a warning
sound will be heard and power steering assist will be limited.

Blind Spot Monitoring System
BLIND SPOT MONI TORING (B SM) (if equipped)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver
by monitoring blind spots on both sides of the vehicle to the rear in
certain situations such as when changing lanes on roads and freeways or
reversing the vehicle from a parking garage.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System consists of the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).
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 automatically turn on the next time the vehicle is started.
• If your vehicle speed is 6.7 mph (10.8 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 fash.
•
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.
Your Vehicle
Detection Areas
Please refer to
your Owner’s
Manual for
complete details.
NOTE: Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look
over your shoulder before changing lanes:
• The BSM ca n as sist the dr iver in co nfirming the sa fety of th e surroundings, but
is no t a complete substitute.
• The driver is re sponsible for en suring safe lane changes and ot her ma neuvers.
• Alw ays pay at tention to th e direction in wh ich the ve hicle is traveling and th e
vehicle’s surroundings.
• The BSM do es no t op erate when th e ve hicle speed is lo wer than ab out 6.7 mph
(10 .8 km/h).
