MAZDA RADAR CRUISE CONTROL (MRCC) SYSTEM
The MRCC system maintains vehicle speed and f\Xollowing distance using a radar sensor
to detect a vehicle ahead. The driver simply presets the vehicle speed between 19 mph
and 90 mph and the\X system will maintain a safe following distance without having to turn the cruise control off.
SETTING THE MRCC:
When the MODE switch is pushed, the
vehicle speed and t\.he distance between
vehicles while in headway control can be
set. The MR\b\b indication is shown in the
Active Driving Display.
NOTE: The radar for the MR\b\b is located
behind the Mazda emblem in the g\.rille.
Keep this area clean to avoid the system
not working properly.
How to set the speed:
1 Adjust the vehicle to the desired speed using the\. accelerator pedal.
2
Push the \fET + or \f\.ET – switch. The set speed and the in\.ter-vehicle distance display
filled with white lines are displayed in the Active Driving Display and the MR\b\b indicator light (green) turns on simultaneously.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING \fY\fTEM
(IF EQUIPPED)
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM (LDWS)
The LDWS recognizes the painted lane lines using the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
installed on the winds\Xhield.
If the vehicle deviates from its lane at speeds a\.bove 44 mph, the system alerts the driver
using the active driving display, flashing the LDW\f warning light and a warning beep to help the driver stay within the lines.

BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM)
The BSM system is designed to assist the driver by monitoring blind spots on the left
and right sides of the vehicle in certain situations, such as lane chan\Xges.
•
The B\fM detects vehicles approaching from the rear while traveling in
the forward direction at a speed \.of 6.3 mph or more and notifies the
driver by turning on the B\fM w\.arning indicator light and displaying the vehicle detection screen (vehicles with Active Driving Display).
•
If the turn signal lever is operated to signal a turn in the direction
in which the B\fM warning indicator light is illuminated while the
approaching vehicle is detected, the B\fM warns the driver by turning on the B\fM warning indicator light, and by activating the warning sound and
the warning screen indicator display
(vehicles with Active Driving Display).
•
The detection area on this system
covers the driving lane\.s on both sides
of the vehicle and from the rear part
of the front doors to about 164 ft behind the vehicle.
• B\fM sensors are located under the
left and right rear bumper areas.
The B\fM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper is dirty,
so keep the rear bumper area clean
and free of bumper stickers.
NOTE:
•
The B\fM can assist the driver in confirming the safety
of the surroundings, but is not a complete substitute.
•
The driver is responsible for ensuring safe lane changes
and other maneuvers.
•
Always pay attention to the direction in which th\.e vehicle
is traveling and the vehicle’s surroundings.
Turning BSM System Off:
Turning the B\fM system off will turn off both the light and sound indicators. To turn the B\fM system off, push the B\fM OFF \.switch on the dash.
The B\fM OFF indicator in the instrument cluster will turn on to indicate the B\fM system is off.
NOTE: Turning the B\fM system off will also turn off the Rear \bross Traffic Alert system.
BLIND \fPOT MONITORING \fY\fTEM
WARNING:
B\fM is only a
supplementary
system to help
aid in monitoring
blind spots;
however, B\fM
has limitations.
The system may
not detect all
vehicles, especially
a motorcycle. Do
not rely solely on
the B\fM. Relying
solely on the
B\fM may cause
an unexpected
accident resulting
in death or serious
injury. Make sure
to look over your
shoulder before
changing lanes.

ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING \fY\fTEM
(IF EQUIPPED)
ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS)
AFS automatically turns the headlight beam to the right or left in conjunction with the\X
direction of the steering wheel to improve the direction of headlight illumination whil\Xe cornering. AFS only works when the vehicle is moving.
NOTE: With AF\f, it is normal to see the headlights move and hear the sound of the
headlight leveling motors at the front of the vehicle when the ig\.nition is ON.

The system will need to be reset if the vehicle battery has been disconnected or the system fuse has been replaced. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for easy-to-follow resetting instructions.
VEHICLE SETTINGS
AFS can be turned off using Vehicle Settings in MAZDA CONNECT (p. 10).

HIGH BEAM CONTROL (HBC)
With HBC, the headlights are switched to high beams at speeds above 18 mph when there are no vehicles in front of your vehicle or approaching in the oppo\Xsite direction.
The HBC system switches to low beam when: •
You are approaching a vehicle or a vehicle is approaching in the oppo\.site direction.
• Driving on roads lined with street lights or well-lit cities and towns.
• At speeds lower than 12 mph.
To turn HBC on: 1 Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO position.
2 Push the headlight lever forward to the High Beam position.
NOTE: When the HB\b system is on, the HB\b indicator light in the instrument cluster will
illuminate (green). The High Beam indicator light will turn on (blue) when the HB\b system
switches to high beam and will turn off when the HB\b system switches to low beam.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE 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 Temperature
FLA\fHING: Engine is starting to run hot.
Drive slowly to reduce engine load.
ON: Engine is overheating. \fafely pull
over to the side of the road and turn the
engine off. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more information. Blue Coolant Temperature
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.
TRIP COMPUTER
The following information can be selected by pushing the or of the INFO button on
the steering wheel.

To reset, push and hold th\.e INFO button for more than 1.5 seconds.
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
The outside temperature unit can be switched between °\b and °F using\. \fystem \fettings
in the Infotainment \fystem.
IMPORTANT: When your MAZDA \bONNE\bT display setting is set on “AUTO”, the
instrument cluster and display may become dimmer when th\.e 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.
TPMS NOTE: Low ambient temperature and/or high altitude may cause tire pressures to
change and turn the TPM\f warning light on. If the warning light comes on, see p. 6.

MANUAL SHIFT MODE
Manual Shift Mode g\Xives you the feel of driving a manual \Xtransmission by allowing you
to manually shift to control engine rpm and \Xtorque when more control is desired.
To Use Manual Shift Mode\X:
\fhift the lever from D to M.
To Shift Up To A Higher Gear:
Tap the shift lever back (+) once.
To Shift Down To A Lower Gear:
Tap the shift lever forward (-) once.
DRIVE SELECTION
SPORT mode will choose a lower gear for increased
acceleration response. It will also hold a lower gear/
delay upshifting when it d\Xetects you are braking or
cornering because it anticipates that you will want to
accelerate out of the turn more quickly.
Push the \fPORT button to switch to \fPORT mode
and the \fPORT mode indicator light in the instrument
cluster turns on. Push again\. to turn off.
NOTE: If the \fET button of the cruise control is pushed while\. in \fPORT mode, \fPORT
mode is switched off. \fPORT mode cannot be turned on or off when cornering.
• When the ignition i\.s switched OFF, \fPORT mode is also switched off.
•
Fuel consumption increases slightly when using \fPOR\.T mode.
