Driving Tips
Rocking the Vehicle
WARNING
Do not spin the wheels at more than
56 km/h (35 mph), and do not allow
anyone to stand behind a wheel when
pushing the vehicle:When the vehicle is stuck, spinning the
wheels at high speed is dangerous.
The spinning tire could overheat and
explode. This could cause serious
injuries.
CAUTION
Too much rocking may cause engine
overheating, transaxle failure, and tire
damage.
If you must rock the vehicle to free it from
snow, sand or mud, depress the accelerator
slightly and slowly move the shift lever
from 1 (D) to R.
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag of
sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to check
the following:
 Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the
radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on page
6-29.
 Inspect the battery and its cables. Cold
reduces battery capacity.
 Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that the
vehicle will be driven in (page 6-26).
 Inspect the ignition system for damage
and loose connections.
 Use washer fluid made with antifreeze—
but do not use engine coolant antifreeze
for washer fluid (page 6-31).
NOTE
 Remove snow before driving. Snow left
on the windshield is dangerous as it
could obstruct vision.
 Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice or
frozen snow on the mirror glass and
windshield.
 Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows and
mirrors as it could result in the glass
cracking.
 Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely affected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake components. If
this situation occurs, drive the vehicle
slowly, releasing the accelerator pedal
and lightly applying the brakes several
times until the brake performance
returns to normal.

Instrument Cluster and Display
*Some models.
Active Driving Display*
Combiner
Optical receiver
Mirror
WARNING
Always adjust the display brightness and position with the vehicle stopped:
Adjusting the display brightness and position while driving the vehicle is dangerous as
doing so could distract your attention from the road ahead and lead to an accident.
CAUTION
 Do not try to adjust the angle or open/close the active driving display manually.
Fingerprints on the display will make it difficult to view and using excessive force when
operating it could cause damage.
 Do not place objects in the vicinity of the active driving display. The active driving display
may not operate or any interference with its operation could cause damage.
 Do not place beverages near the active driving display. If water or other liquids are splashed
on the active driving display, it could cause damage.
 Do not place objects above the active driving display screen or apply stickers to the
combiner as they will cause interference.
 A sensor is integrated to control the display's luminosity. If the optical receiver is covered,
the display's luminosity will lower making the display difficult to view.
 Do not allow intense light to hit the optical receiver. Otherwise, it could cause damage.
