2 This indicator light turns on to remind you that the front passenger’s front/side
airbags and seat belt pretensioner will not deploy during a collision. The reason
for this is that the sensor has determined that an adult is not sitting in the front passenger seat.
NOTE: If a smaller adult sits on the front passenger seat, the sensors might detect the adult as being a child depending on the person’s physique and may deactivate the front passenger’s front/side
airbags and seat belt pretensioner. Always wear your seat belt and secure children in the rear seats in
appropriate child restraints. See the Owner’s Manual for important information on this safety feature.

STARTING THE ENGINE WITH
ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
The CX-3 is equipped with SKYACTIV combustion technology.
This technology includes AWS (Accelerated Warm-up System) for
optimal emission performance during cold starting conditions.
While Carrying the Key…
• Start the engine by pushing the START/STOP ENGINE button while
pushing the clutch pedal (M/ T) or the brake pedal (A / T).
What you will notice? On start-up, the engine speed and sound are
higher (1500 RPM) for less than 1 minute to quickly bring the catalyst
to efficient operating temperature. The RPM will reduce to idle once
the temperature is achieved. This is normal engine operation under
cold start conditions.
What this does? This heats up the catalytic converter faster to reduce
emissions and allows Mazda to use an exhaust header on the engine
(to improve efficiency and horsepower).
NOTE:
Yo u can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
Key
• Shut the engine OFF by setting the parking brake/placing the
vehicle in Park (A / T), then push the START/STOP ENGINE button.
• Activate Accessories (ACC) by pushing the START/STOP
ENGINE button once without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
• Turn the ignition to the ON position by pushing the START/STOP
ENGINE button twice without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
The key indicator light
in the instrument cluster will show GREEN
(engine 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
RED , or the START/STOP ENGINE button indicator light flashes AMBER ,
this 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.

NOTE:
RED Key Indicator Light may flash if the key is placed in the cup holder.
The key may not be detected in the cup holder .

BREAK-IN PERIOD
No special break-in is necessary, but a few
precautions in the first 600 miles should
be observed. • Do not race the engine.
• Do not maintain one constant speed, either
slow or fast, for a long period of time.
• Avoid full-throttle starts.
• Avoid unnecessary hard stops.
• Do not drive constantly at full-throttle or high
engine rpm for extended periods of time.
Emergency Engine Stop
Pushing and holding the START/STOP ENGINE
button or repeatedly pushing the button while
the engine is running will turn the engine OFF.
Use only in case of an emergency.
Emergency Vehicle Entry
If the key cannot be used due to a malfunction
or dead key battery, use the auxiliary key to
lock or unlock the doors.
Emergency Engine Start
If the engine cannot be started due to a dead
key batter y:

1 Push the brake pedal (A / T) or the clutch
pedal (M/T).
2 While the indicator light
flashes GREEN , touch the
START/STOP ENGINE button
using the back side of the
transmitter (as shown).
3 After the GREEN indicator

Tires
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
For your safety, the CX-3 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. 35-38) 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 tire rotation is performed.
• Any tire or wheel is replaced.
• The vehicle’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 the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specified
pressure (See tire label located on the driver’s side door jam area) on
all four (4) tires.
3 Switch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked.
4 Push 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.
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 may cause the TPMS warning
light to turn on.

Returning rear seats to upright position:
1 Install the headrest (if removed).
2 Raise seatbacks until they lock
into position.
3 Pull on the top of the seatbacks to
make sure they are locked.
4 Check that all seat belts are routed
properly for passenger use.
Seats and Headrests
F R O N T S E AT S
Headrests
For your safety, the front seats are equipped with active headrests that
are not adjustable forward or backward, only up and down. An active
headrest is designed to move forward in the event of a collision to close
the gap between your head and the headrest (to prevent whiplash).
REAR SEATS
Push the button to fold down the seatback.
NOTE: For tall drivers and front passengers who
adjust the front seats all the way back, the headrests
on the rear seats need to be removed when folding
the rear seatbacks down. If not removed, the rear
headrest will push into the front seatback. In order
to remove the headrest from the rear seat, the
seatback needs to be tilted slightly forward.
NOTE: Left rear seat release is shown .
