seats in appropriate child restraints. See the Owner’s Manual for important information on this safety feature.

• When a trip meter is selected, push and hold to reset to zero.
TPMS NOTE: Low ambient temperature and/or high altitude causes tire pressures to
drop and may turn the TPMS warning light on. If the warning light comes on, check the tire
pressure and fill the tires as soon as possible, preferably before moving the vehicle and
warming up the tires. Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.

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.

Transmission
MANUAL SHIFT MODE (if equipped)
The Manual Shift Mode gives you the feel of
driving a manual transmission by allowing you to
manually shift to control engine rpm and torque
when more control is desired.
To Use Manual Shift Mode:
• Shift the lever from D to M.
NOTE:
Changing to manual
mode can be done while driving
the vehicle.
To Shift Up To A Higher Gear:
• Tap shift lever back (+) once.
To Shift Down To A Lower Gear: • Tap shift lever forward (-) once.
6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
• Push the clutch pedal completely down
to start the engine and to shift gears.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL KICKDOWN SWITCH*
The accelerator pedal is equipped with a
kickdown switch to give the driver more
control and to improve fuel economy.
When you depress the accelerator 95% of the
way, you will feel an increase in resistance.
Push harder, and you will feel a click as you
activate the kickdown switch. The transmission
will usually downshift (depending on engine
speed) and the engine will switch to maximum
power mode. This kickdown switch function is
the same in both Manual mode and in “D”.
*Available on vehicles with automatic transmission only.
H ILL L AUNCH A SSIST (HLA)
HL A 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,
HL A 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.
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.

FUEL ECONOMY
To achieve the best fuel economy:
•
Drive sensibly. Speeding, rapid acceleration
and excessive braking will lower fuel economy.
•
Observe the speed limit. Fuel economy can decrease rapidly
at speeds above 60 mph.
•
Keep tires properly inflated. Under-inflated tires will lower
fuel economy.
•
Use the recommended grade of oil specified in the owner’s
manual and keep the engine properly maintained. Visit your
Authorized Mazda Dealer who specializes in the servicing of
Mazda engines.
•
Monitor the Current Fuel Economy in the Information Display.
The current fuel economy is calculated every 2 seconds.
Additional items that also help increase fuel economy:
•
Remove excess weight. Heavy items in the vehicle will lower
fuel economy.
•
Avoid excessive idling. Idling for long periods will waste gas.
•
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on the highway helps to
maintain a constant speed and saves gas.
•
Use overdrive gears. Using overdrive gearing reduces the vehicle’s
engine speed, which saves gas and reduces engine wear.
•
Use a quality gasoline with the recommended octane. Use of higher
octane gasoline will not improve your fuel economy.
Visit www.ecodrivingusa.com or www.fueleconomy.gov for
more information.

Headlights (cont’d from pg.13)
With AFS
Without AFS
NOTE:
•
With AFS, 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 ignition 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.
A DAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS) (if equipped)
The adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) automatically turns the
headlight beam to the right or left in conjunction with the direction of
the steering wheel.
The AFS improves the direction of headlight illumination while cornering, and
only works when the vehicle is moving.
Push AFS OFF to turn
system off or on. When off,
AFS OFF illuminates in the
instrument panel.
