HD Radio™
What is HD Radio™ Technology and how does it work?
HD Radio™ Technology is the digital evolution of analog AM/FM radio.
Your radio product has a special receiver which allows it to receive digital broadcasts
(where available) in addition to the analog broadcasts it already receives.
Digital broadcasts have better sound quality than analog broadcasts as digital
broadcasts provide free, crystal clear audio.

Add-On Non-GenuinePa r t s a n d A cc e s s o r i e s
▼ Add-On Non-Genuine Parts and
Accessories
Non-genuine parts and accessories for
Mazda vehicles can be found in stores.
These may
fit your vehicle, but they are
not approved by Mazda for use with
Mazda vehicles. When you install
non-genuine parts or accessories, they
could affect your vehicle's
performance or safety systems; the
Mazda warranty doesn't cover this.
Before you install any non-genuine
parts or accessories, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
WARNING
Always consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer before you install non-genuine
parts or accessories:
Improperly designed parts or
accessories could seriously affect your
vehicle's performance or safety
systems. This could cause you to have
an accident or increase your chances of
injuries in an accident.
Be very careful in choosing and
installing add-on electrical
equipment, such as mobile
telephones, two-way radios, stereo
systems, and car alarm systems:
Incorrectly choosing or installing
improper add-on equipment or
choosing an improper installer is
dangerous. Essential systems could be
damaged, causing engine stalling,
air-bag (SRS) activation,
ABS/TCS/DSC inactivation, or a fire in
the vehicle.
Mazda assumes no responsibility for
death, injury, or expenses that may
result from the installation of add-on
non-genuine parts or accessories.

Cell Phones Warning
▼Cell Phones Warning
WARNING
Please comply with the legal
regulations concerning the use of
communication equipment in vehicles
in your country:
Use of any electrical devices such as
cell phones, computers, portable
radios, vehicle navigation or other
devices by the driver while the vehicle
is moving is dangerous. Dialing a
number on a cell phone while driving
also ties-up the driver's hands. Use of
these devices will cause the driver to
be distracted and could lead to a
serious accident. If a passenger is
unable to use the device, pull
off the
right-of-way to a safe area before use.
If use of a cell phone is necessary
despite this warning, use a hands-free
system to at least leave the hands free
to drive the vehicle. Never use a cell
phone or other electrical devices while
the vehicle is moving and, instead,
concentrate on the full-time job of
driving.
