Audio Controls (with Mazda Connect)
AUDIO OPERATION USING VOICE
Audio operation and media selection
can be done using voice. Push the
“TALK” button on the steering wheel, wait for a beep, then say a command in
a clear, natural voice (not too fast or too slow). Some common commands are listed below.
Play (and any of the following):
AM, FM, XM, CD, Bluetooth, Aha, Pandora, Stitcher, USB, AUX
Play or Resume / Pause or
Stop / Next or Previous
Play (and any of the following):
Song, Playlist ,
Artist , Album
, Genre , Folder
Tune to Station
Tune to Channel Number (XM)
HD RADIO
HD radio has a special
receiver which allows it to
receive digital broadcasts (where available) in addition to the analog broadcasts it already receives. Digital broadcasts have better
sound quality than analog broadcasts as digital
broadcasts provide free,
crystal clear audio.
When the HD radio button is ON (red), there could be
a noticeable difference in sound quality and volume when a change from digital to analog signals occurs.
If the sound quality and
volume becomes noticeably
diminished or cuts off, select the HD button to turn OFF HD radio (not red).
GRACENOTE
The Gracenote media database is used to improve voice recognition of artist and album names with the Mazda Hands Free system. To make best use of the
voice recognition, install the most recent database.
1 Load the Gracenote update on a memory stick
from www.MazdaUSA.com/USB. Insert the
memory stick into the USB port.
2 Go to System Settings in the infotainment system.
3 Select Music Database Update.
NOTE: To use BT audio, make sure the musical
icon is displayed by going to Bluetooth in Device
settings. Some Bluetooth® audio devices need a
certain amount of time before the icon is displayed.
NOTE: Push the TALK button and say “Help” at any time to hear a list of
available commands.

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.
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.
1 Locate the USB port or AUX jack.
2 Connect the device plug into the portable audio player and into the
USB port or AUX jack.
3 Turn the vehicle audio system on.
4 • Audio Controls (without Mazda Connect) : Push the MEDIA
button on the audio unit to switch to the AUX or USB mode.
• Audio Controls (with Mazda Connect) : Select AUX or USB from
the Sources menu.
5 • USB Port : Use the vehicle’s audio system or steering wheel controls
to control the connected USB device.

Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information.
PORTABLE AUDIO PLAYER INTEGRATION
USING THE USB PORT OR AUX JACK
Your vehicle is equipped with a USB port and
auxiliary AUX jack, conveniently located in the
center console, that allows you to play your iPod,
USB device, or portable audio player through the
vehicle’s audio system. The center console is useful
for storing your personal media/phone devices.
Learn the system when parked and do not let it
distract you while driving.
12 VOLT ACCESSORY SOCKETS
The accessory socket in the dash is on with ignition on and the accessor\
y socket
in the center console is always on.
NOTE: When using a USB memory stick, the system plays the first audio file when
restarting the vehicle. It does not start where it left off when turning off the engine.
NOTE: When using the accessory socket in the center console, make sure to
disconnect any device from it when turning off the ignition, otherwise the vehicle’s
battery could go dead.

and may turn the TPMS warning light on. If the warning light comes on, check the tire pressure
and fill the tires as soon as possible, preferably before moving the vehicle and warming up
the tires. Initialize system (p. 6). Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.

NOTE: The HL A system will hold the vehicle for a maximum of 2.0 seconds
while the driver is changing from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA)
HL A helps assist you when accelerating the vehicle from a stop while on
a hill or slope.
When the brake pedal is released and the accelerator pedal is pushed,
HL A prevents the vehicle from rolling forward or backward. It operates on
a downward slope when the shift lever is in the reverse (R) position, and on
an upward slope when the shift lever is in a position other than the reverse
(R) position.
Transmission
ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) CONTROL
AAS 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.

i-ELOOP
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 screen is displayed, a warning sound
will be heard and power steering assist will be limited.
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. To view i-ELOOP information, select Applications from
the Home screen, then scroll down to Fuel Economy Monitor.
i-ELOOP Pre-Charge Mode
If the capacitor is discharged because of vehicle storage (the vehicle \
is
parked for long periods of time), the i-ELOOP indicator in the instrume\
nt
cluster will flash and a
warning screen appears
on the screen of the
infotainment system.
When this warning screen appears, do not drive the
vehicle. Allow the engine to idle until the warning
screen disappears. This time is needed for normal
generator operation.
