Before Driving
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 D to R.
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, À ares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag of
sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to check
the following:
y Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the
radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on page
6-30 .
y Inspect the battery and its cables. Cold
reduces battery capacity.
y Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that the
vehicle will be driven in (page 6-27 ).
y Inspect the ignition system for damage
and loose connections.
y Use washer À uid made with antifreeze—
but do not use engine coolant antifreeze
for washer À uid (page 6-32 ).

When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) when the vehicle is running on a chassis
roller or being towed:
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system to prevent mistaken operation when
the vehicle is running on a chassis roller or being towed.
Refer to the Stopping the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation on page
4-107 on how to turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system.
CAUTION
¾ When driving off -road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recommended that the
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off .
¾ Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specifi ed size, and the same manufacturer,
brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with signifi cantly diff erent wear
patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may not
operate normally.
¾ The laser sensor (front) includes a function for detecting a soiled windshield and informing
the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect plastic shopping bags,
ice or snow on the windshield. In such cases, the system cannot accurately determine a
vehicle ahead and may not be able to operate normally. Always drive carefully and pay
attention to the road ahead.
N O T E
y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the driver is deliberately
performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel).
y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the following conditions.
y The engine is running.
y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) warning light (amber) does not illuminate.
y The vehicle speed is between about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph).
y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.
y The DSC is not malfunctioning.

Maintenance and Care
Scheduled Maintenance
Scheduled Maintenance (U.S.A., Canada, and Puerto
Rico)
Follow Schedule 1 if the vehicle is operated mainly where none of the following conditions
(severe driving conditions)apply.
y Repeated short-distance driving
y Driving in dusty conditions
y Driving with extended use of brakes
y Driving in areas where salt or other corrosive materials are used
y Driving on rough or muddy roads
y Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation
y Driving for long periods in cold temperatures or extremely humid climates
y Driving in extremely hot conditions
y Driving in mountainous conditions continually
If any do apply, follow Schedule 2. (Canada residents follow Schedule 2.)
Vehicles using Engine Oil Flexible Maintenance
Engine Oil Flexible Maintenance is available for U.S.A. and Puerto Rico residents whose
vehicle is operated mainly where none of the following conditions apply:
y Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation such as police car, taxi or driving
school car
y Driving in dusty conditions
If any do apply, follow Schedule 2 with engine oil ¿ xed maintenance.
Once engine oil À exible maintenance is selected, the vehicle calculates the remaining oil life
based on engine operating conditions. The vehicle lets you know when an oil change is due
by illuminating the wrench indicator light in the instrument cluster. Change the oil as soon
as possible within the next 500 km (300 mile) or 15 days. Refer page 6-20 for the details.
Mazda Genuine 0W-20 Oil and Castrol
® 0W-20 Oil are required to achieve optimum
performance.
N O T E
y Please ensure that the Flexible Oil Maintenance Setting is reset after each Oil and Filter
replacement.
y For maintenance guidelines beyond the miles/months listed, follow the maintenance
intervals provided in the Scheduled Maintenance Tables.
