The AFS improves the direction of headlight illumination while cornering, and
only works when the vehicle is moving.
Push AFS OFF to turn system off or on. When off,
AFS OFF illuminates in the instrument panel.

LDWS
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM (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.
NOTE: Any driver input (e.g., turn signal,
steering or acceleration) will cancel warning.

The painted lane lines
on the road are not
recognized or the vehicle

No indicator light
LDWS OFF
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.
Use the LDWS switch to
turn system ON or OFF

Transmission
MANUAL SHIFT MODE (if equipped)
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 Use Steering Shift Switches:

- DOWN Shift Switch+ UP Shift Switch
NOTE: Steering Shift Switches
can be used in “D” or “M”.
ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) 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 MODE (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 equipped)
The Mazda-unique regenerative braking system (i-ELOOP) generates and
stores electrical energy in a capacitor during deceleration. Through efficient
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 t

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

I M P O R TA N T :
• Set the volume level on your portable audio player to the highest level before
distortion starts, then use the vehicle’s audio system to adjust the volume.
• Unplug any device from the USB port and accessory socket before turning off
the vehicle. Leaving devices plugged in can drain the battery and cause issues
during the Bluetooth pairing process at startup. Wait about 15 seconds after
starting the vehicle before plugging anything into the USB port.
NOTE: You will need an audio cable with an 1/8 inch (3.5 mm)
mini stereo plug (available as a Genuine Mazda accessory) to
connect your portable audio player into the aux jack.
