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.

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: Engine 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.

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.

Tires
CAUTION: Using a wire brush, polishing
compound, solvent, or any type of abrasive
cleaner may damage the protective coating.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that detects low tire pressure in one or more tires. 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 B-pillar or edge
of driver’s door frame for specification) 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.
NOTE: See Page 9 for TPMS switch location.
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 illuminate, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may
illuminate if the tire pressure is normal.

ALUMINUM WHEEL CARE
Your aluminum wheels have a protective
coating on them. Only use a mild soap or
neutral detergent with a sponge or soft cloth
to clean them.
