NOTE
When you fold down the left seatback, the
centre seatback folds down at the same
time.
Using remote handle
*
1.(With rear seat warmer)
Turn the rear seat warmer switch off.
Refer to Seat Warmer on page 2-14.
2. After checking that the rear seats are
clear, open the liftgate and lower the
seatback you want to fold down using
the remote handle.
When folding the left side, operate the
outer part of the remote handle.
WA R N I N G
Always remove the child-restraint system
from the rear seat before operating the
remote handle for the rear seat:
Operating the remote handle while a
rear-facing child-restraint system is in the
rear seat is dangerous. It could cause injury
to a child seated in the child-restraint
system when the seatback suddenly flips
forward.
Make sure there is nobody in the rear seat
area before operating (pulling) the remote
handle:
Not checking the rear seat area for persons
before folding the seatbacks with the strap/
remote handle is dangerous. The rear seat
area is difficult to see from the rear of the
vehicle. Operating (pulling) the remote
handle without checking could cause injury
to a person when a se atback suddenly flips
forward.
CAUTION
 Before folding the seatbacks down with
the remote handle, make sure there is no
cup in a rear cup holder. Folding the
seatbacks with the remote handle while
a cup is in the cup holder could soil or
damage the seat bottom and seatback.
 Be careful of the following when using
the remote handle:
 On a downward slope, the seatback
could flip forward faster than on a flat
surface.
 On an upward slope, the seatback may
not fold down. When the seatbacks
cannot be folded down with the
remote handle, pull the rear seatback
forward from inside the vehicle.

▼Pregnant Women and Persons wi
th Serious Medical Conditions
Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Ask your doctor f or specific
recommendations.
The lap belt should be worn SNUGL Y AND AS LOW AS POSSIBLE OVER THE HIPS.
The shoulder belt should be worn across your shoulder properly, but never across the
stomach area.
Persons with serious medical conditions also should wear seat b elts. Check with your doctor
for any special instructions regarding specific medical conditi ons.
▼Emergency Locking Mode
When the seat belt is fastened,
it will always be in the emergency locking mode.
In the emergency locking mode, the belt remains comfortable on the occupant and the
retractor will lock in position during a collision.
If the belt is locked and cannot be pulled out, retract the belt once, and then try pulling it out
slowly. If this fails, pull the belt strongly one time and loos en, then pull it out again slowly.

Rocking the Vehicle
WA R N I N G
Do not spin the wheels at high speed, 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 tyre could overheat and explode.
This could cause serious injuries.
CAUTION
Too much rocking may cause engine
overheating, transaxle failure, and tyre
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/
selector lever from 1 (D) to R.
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tyre
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper leads, and a small bag of
sand or salt.
Ask an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer to check the
following:
•Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the
radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on page 6-29.
•Inspect the ba ttery and its leads. Cold
reduces battery capacity.
•Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that the
vehicle will be driven in (page 6-25).
•Inspect the ignition system for damage
and loose connections.
•Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze―but do not use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid (page
6-32).
NOTE
•Remove snow before driving. Snow left
on the windscreen is dangerous as it
could obstruct vision.
•Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice or
frozen snow on the mirror glass and
windscreen.
•Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows and
mirrors as it could result in the glass
cracking.

i-ACTIV AWD Operation*
4WD provides excellent drivability on
snow-covered and ice-packed roads, sand
and mud, as well as on steep slopes and
other slippery surfaces.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning
Lights on page 4-42.
WA R N I N G
Never spin a wheel that is off the ground:
Spinning a wheel that is off the ground as a
result of the vehicle being stuck or in a
ditch is dangerous. The drive assembly
could be seriously damaged which could
lead to an accident or could even lead to
overheating, oil leakage, and a fire.
▼ 4WD Driving
This vehicle has not been designed for the
purpose of off-road driving or rallies. Do
not attempt to drive over uneven or rocky
surfaces, or across rivers.
Although this vehicle is equipped with
4WD, acceleration, steering and braking
operations should be conducted in the
same manner as with a non-4WD vehicle,
with the emphasis placed on safe driving.
▼Tyres and Tyre Chains
The condition of the tyres plays a large
role in the performance of the vehicle.
Moreover, to prevent adverse effects to the
drive assembly, please note the following:
Ty r e s
•When replacing tyres, always replace all
front and rear tyres
at the same time.
•All tyres must be of the same size,
manufacture, brand and tread pattern.
Pay particular attention when equipping
snow or other types of winter tyres.
•Do not mix tread-worn tyres with
normal tyres.
•Inspect tyre inflation pressures at the
specified periods adjust to the specified
pressures.
NOTE
Check the tyre inflation pressure label
attached to driver's door frame for the
correct tyre inflation pressure.
•Make sure to equip the vehicle with
genuine wheels of the specified size, on
all wheels. With 4WD, the system is
calibrated for all four wheels being of
the same dimensions.
Ty r e c h a i n s
•Install tyre chains to the front tyres.
•Do not use tyre chains on the rear
wheels.
•Do not drive the vehicle faster than 30
km/h (19 mph) with the tyre chains
installed.
•Do not drive the vehicle with tyre chains
on road conditions other than snow or
ice.
▼ To w i n g
If the vehicle requires towing, have it
towed with all four wheels completely off
the ground.
Refer to Towing Description on page 7-
39.
