Introduction
nExtremely low or high temperatures may interfere with normal operationThe inside of the vehicle can become very hot or cold when it is parked for extended
periods in direct sunlight or in cold places with the engine turned off. The navigation system
may not operate normally under such circumstances. Turn off the navigation system until
the inside of the vehicle has cooled down or warmed up. If the system does not operate
thereafter, consult an Authorized Dealer, we recommend an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
This navigation system utilizes GPS* satellite signals, a speed sensor and gyrosensor to track
and display your vehicle’s current position, and to guide you from your starting point to your
destination along a calculated route.
* : GPS (Global Positioning System) is a position detecting system utilizing the signals from GPS satellites deployed by the U.S. Defense Department.
The beep sound and voice guidance related to the navigation system operation are not heard
while a Bluetooth Hands-Free is being used.
Screens displayed in this manual may differ from those on the actual display.
Direct sunlight or other outside light sources makes it difficult to view the images on the
display. For moonroof-equipped vehicles, close the sunshade to better view the display.

Route Guide
For certain intersection shapes,
the upcoming turn or the name of
the intersection may not be
announced. For certain intersection shapes,
you may be prompted to turn right
or left when you should actually
stay on the same road.Voice guidance for the planned
route may continue even after you
have deviated from that route
such as having turned too early.
Some points where the road
divides on highways or toll roads
may not be displayed or
announced. The Intersection Zoom Map may
not always agree with the actual
shape of the intersection.
The announced distance to an
upcoming turn may differ slightly
from reality.

nRadio Reception
AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as
buildings or mountains and bounce off the
ionosphere. Therefore, they can reach
longer distances than FM signals. Because
of this, two stations may sometimes be
picked up on the same frequency at the
same time.
FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about 40–
50 km (25–30 miles) from the source.
Because of extra coding needed to break the
sound into two channels, stereo FM has
even less range than monaural (non-stereo)
FM. Signals from an FM transmitter are similar to
beams of light because they do not bend
around corners, but they do reflect.
Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot travel
beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM stations
cannot be received at the great distances
possible with AM reception.
Atmospheric conditions can also affect FM
reception. High humidity will cause poor
reception. However, cloudy days may pro-
vide better reception than clear days.
Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be reflected by
obstructions, it is possible to receive both the
direct signal and the reflected signal at the
same time. This causes a slight delay in
reception and may be heard as a broken
sound or a distortion. This problem may also
be encountered when in close proximity to
the transmitter.
