TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
For your safety, the Mazda6 is equipped with TPMS that detects low
tire pressure in one or more tires. If the tire pressure starts getting
low in one or more tires, the system alerts the driver by turning on a
light in the instrument cluster (pp. 35-36) and sounding an alarm.
What to do? Don’t ignore the TPMS warning light. Stop and check your
tire pressure (when tires are cold) and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Properly inflated tires are safer, last longer, and increase fuel economy.
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 tir
e rotation is performed.
•
Any t

ire or wheel is replaced.
•
The v

ehicle’s battery is disconnected, replaced or completely dead.
Initialization Process (TPMS Warning Light is Illuminated)
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place and firmly apply the parking brake.
2 Let t
he tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specified
pressure (see tire label located on the driver’s
side door opening) 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 flashes twice and

a beep sound is heard once.
Tires
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 turn on, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may turn on
if the tire pressure is normal.
NOTE: Drastic changes in temperature or altitude can affect the pressure in the
tires, causing the TPMS warning light to turn on. Verify the tire pressures when
driving through extreme temperature or altitude changes.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMP LIGHTS Since this vehicle does not use an engine
coolant temperature gauge, red and blue
engine coolant temperature lights are used to
indicate high and low coolant temperature.
Red Coolant Temp Light Flashing: Engine is starting to run hot.
Drive slowly to reduce engine load.
On: E

ngine is overheating. Safely pull
over to the side of the road and turn
the engine off. Refer to the Owner’s
Manual for more information.
Blue Coolant Temp Light On: Engine coolant is cold and no warm
air is available for heater/defroster.
Off

: Engine coolant is warm and warm air
is available for heater/defroster. The light
may stay on for a few minutes after start-
up when the engine is cold, but the vehicle
can be driven with the light on or off.
NOTE: When your Mazda Connect display
setting is set on “AUTO”, the instrument
cluster and display may become dimmer
when the headlights are on. If the display
and instrument cluster become too dim or
too bright when the headlights are on, simply
rotate the dimmer knob located on your
instrument cluster to adjust the brightness.

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.
Transmission
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.
HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA)
HLA 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,
HLA 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.
DRIVE SEL ECTION
SPORT mode will choose a lower gear for
increased acceleration response. It will also
hold a lower gear/delay upshifting when
it detects you are braking or cornering
because it anticipates that you will want
to accelerate out of the turn more quickly.
Push the SPORT button to switch to SPORT
mode and the SPORT mode indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on. Push again to turn off.
NOTE:
• If the SET button of the cruise control is pushed while in SPORT mode, SPORT
mode is switched off. SPORT mode cannot be turned on or off when cornering.
• When the ignition is switched off, SPORT mode is also switched off.
• Fuel consumption increases slightly when using SPORT mode.

NOTE: • If the vehicle is jump started, leave the jumper cables connected until the
wa
rning message is no longer displayed.
•
If th

e 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.
