Gear position indicator
Manual shift mode indicator
NOTE
If the gears cannot be shifted down when
driving at higher speeds, the gear position
indicator will flash twice to signal that the
gears cannot be shifted down (to protect the
transaxle).
Shifting
Manually Shifting up
(M1 →M2 →M3 →M4 →M5 →M6)
To shift up to a higher gear, move the shift
lever back (
) once.
NOTElWhen driving slowly, the gears may not
shift up.
lIn manual shift mode, gears do not shift up
automatically. Do not run the engine with
the tachometer needle in the RED ZONE. If
the tachometer needle enters the RED
ZONE, you may feel engine-braking
because the fuel delivery will be stopped to
protect the engine. However, this does not
indicate an abnormality.
lWhen depressing the accelerator fully, the
transaxle will shift to a lower gear,
depending on vehicle speed.

Tire Pressure Monitoring Systemí
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) monitors the pressure for each tire.
If tire pressure is too low in one or more tires, the system will inform the driver via the
warning light in the instrument panel and by the warning beep sound.
The tire pressure sensors installed on each wheel send tire pressure data by radio signal to
the receiver unit in the vehicle.
Tire pressure sensors
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is low due to seasonal changes, tire temperatures are also lower.
When the tire temperature decreases, the air pressure decreases as well. The TPMS warning light
may illuminate more frequently. Visually inspect the tires daily before driving, and check tire
pressures monthly with a tire pressure gauge. When checking tire pressures, use of a digital tire
pressure gauge is recommended.
TPMS does not alleviate your need to check the pressure and condition of all four tires
regularly.

NOTElThe detectability of the radar sensors has its limitations. The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
may not operate properly under the following conditions:
lIce, snow, or soil adheres to the rear bumper surface around the radar sensors.lDuring adverse weather conditions such as rain or snow, or under conditions where water is
sprayed.
lThe rear bumper area around the radar sensors is blocked by foreign material (such as
stickers or a bicycle carrier).
lThe radar sensors do not detect human, animal, shopping cart, bicycle, or static objects such as
fences.
lThe radar sensors may not detect all types of vehicles around your vehicle, especially the
following types of vehicles:
lMotorcycleslVehicles with body shapes that radar may not reflect such as a flatbed trailer with no cargo.lVehicles with lower body height such as sports cars.lAlthough the system may detect objects on the road side such as parked vehicles or guardrails and
operate the warning light/beep, it does not indicate a malfunction.
lIf the vehicle is driven on a road with less traffic and few vehicles that the radar sensors can
detect, the system may pause (the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light in the
instrument panel flashes). However, it does not indicate a malfunction.
lThe following conditions may affect the visibility of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning
lights on the outside mirror, making it difficult to confirm the illumination of the lights:
lIce or snow adheres to the surface of the outside mirrors.lThe door window glass is tinted.lThe radar sensors are equipped inside the rear bumper. (page 5-43)lHave the radar sensors inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer if any shock is applied to the
rear bumper, even in a minor accident. If the vehicle is driven with a damaged radar sensor, the
system may not operate properly resulting in an accident.
lFor repairs or paintwork around the radar sensors, or replacement of the bumper, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
lThe radar sensors of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system may be regulated under the radio
wave related laws of the country where the vehicle is driven. The sensors in this system are
approved for use in the U.S.A. (including territories), Canada, and Mexico. If a vehicle with a
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is driven in a country other than the U.S.A., Canada, or
Mexico, the system has to be turned off using the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch.

NOTElThe Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about 10
km/h (6.2 mph).
lThe detection area of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) has been determined based on the lane
width of general freeways. Therefore on a road with a narrower lane width, the system may detect
vehicles on a lane next to the adjacent lane and operate the warning light/beep. On a road with
wider lane width, the system may not detect vehicles on the adjacent lane and may not operate the
warning light/beep.
lUnder the following conditions, the system may be unable to detect vehicles, or detection may be
delayed.
lThe vehicle accelerates from a standing-start with a vehicle alongside.lA vehicle moves from a lane two lanes over to the adjacent lane.lThe difference in vehicle speed between your vehicle and another vehicle is larger when
passing or being passed, and the vehicle passes the detection area within a short period of
time.
lOn a steep incline, or when there is a difference in height between lanes.lImmediately after the system has been activated by pressing the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
OFF switch again after it has been turned off (Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator
light in instrument panel illuminates) by pressing the switch.
lThe selector lever is shifted to the R position, or directly after being shifted from the R position.lThe system may not operate normally when towing a trailer. Turn off the system by operating the
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch when towing a trailer.
lThe system switches to the Rear Cross Traffic Alert function when the selector lever is shifted to
the R position.
