Before Driving
Driving Tips
Break-In Period
No special break-in is necessary, but a
few precautions in the ¿ rst 1,000 km
(600 miles) may add to the performance,
economy, and life of the vehicle.
y Do not race the engine.
y Do not maintain one constant speed,
either slow or fast, for a long period of
time.
y Do not drive constantly at full-throttle or
high engine rpm for extended periods of
time.
y Avoid unnecessary hard stops.
y Avoid full-throttle starts.
y Do not tow a trailer.
Saving Fuel and
Protection
of the Environment
How you operate your Mazda determines
how far it will travel on a tank of fuel. Use
these suggestions to help save fuel and
reduce CO2.
y Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine
runs smoothly, begin driving.
y Avoid fast starts.
y Drive at lower speeds.
y Anticipate when to apply the brakes
(avoid sudden braking).
y Follow the maintenance schedule
(page 6-4 ) and have an Authorized
Mazda Dealer perform inspections and
servicing.
y Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
y Slow down on rough roads.
y Keep the tires properly in À ated.
y Do not carry unnecessary weight.
y Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal
while driving.
y Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
y Keep windows closed at high speeds.
y Slow down when driving in crosswinds
and headwinds.
WARNING
Never stop the engine when going down
a hill:
Stopping the engine when going
down a hill is dangerous. This causes
the loss of power steering and power
brake control, and may cause damage
to the drivetrain. Any loss of steering
or braking control could cause an
accident.

Before Driving
Driving Tips
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, À ares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag of
sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to check
the following:
y Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the
radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on page
6-29 .
y Inspect the battery and its cables. Cold
reduces battery capacity.
y Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that the
vehicle will be driven in (page 6-26 ).
y Inspect the ignition system for damage
and loose connections.
y Use washer À uid made with antifreeze—
but do not use engine coolant antifreeze
for washer À uid (page 6-31 ).
N O T E
y Remove snow before driving. Snow left
on the windshield is dangerous as it
could obstruct vision.
y Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice or
frozen snow on the mirror glass and
windshield.
y Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows and
mirrors as it could result in the glass
cracking.
y Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely affected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake components. If
this situation occurs, drive the vehicle
slowly, releasing the accelerator pedal
and lightly applying the brakes several
times until the brake performance
returns to normal.
Snow Tires
Use snow tires on all four wheels
Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75 mph)
while driving with snow tires. In À ate snow
tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2 , 4.3 psi) more
than recommended on the tire pressure
label (driver's door frame), but never
more than the maximum cold-tire pressure
shown on the tires.
The vehicle is originally equipped with
all season radials designed to be used all
year around. In some extreme climates you
may ¿ nd it necessary to replace them with
snow tires during the winter months to
further improve traction on snow and ice
covered roads.
WARNING
Use only the same size and type tires
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all four
wheels:
Using tires diff erent in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly aff ected and result in
an accident.
CAUTION
Check local regulations before using
studded tires.

CAUTION
¾ When driving off -road in areas where there is grass or foliage, it is recommended that the
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off .
¾ Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specifi ed size, and the same manufacturer,
brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with signifi cantly diff erent wear
patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system may not
operate normally.
¾ The laser sensor (front) includes a function for detecting a soiled windshield and informing
the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not detect plastic shopping bags,
ice or snow on the windshield. In such cases, the system cannot accurately determine a
vehicle ahead and may not be able to operate normally. Always drive carefully and pay
attention to the road ahead.
N O T E
y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the driver is deliberately
performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel).
y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the following conditions.
y The engine is running.
y “Forward Smart City Brake Support Malfunction” is not displayed in the multi-
information display.
y The vehicle speed is between about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph).
y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.
y The DSC is not malfunctioning.
y The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a near-infrared
laser beam and receiving the beam re À ected off the re À ector of the vehicle ahead, and
then using it for the measurement. Consequently, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
may not operate under the following conditions:
y Re À ection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.
y The vehicle ahead is signi ¿ cantly dirty.
y Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
y The window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used when it's
raining.
y The windshield is dirty.
y The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is accelerated
rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
y Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or high pro ¿ le.
y Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.

Interior Features
Climate Control System
O p e r a t i n g T i p s
y Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.
y To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
switch on for a long period of time with
the ignition switched ON when the
engine is not running.
y Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system ef ¿ ciency.
y Use the climate control system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
y The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while in
a traf ¿ c jam, or when you would like to
shut off outside air for quick cooling of
the interior.
y Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windshield defrosting.
y If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the climate control system.
y Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes
at least once a month to keep internal
parts lubricated.
y Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
ef ¿ cient.
The refrigerant speci ¿ cations are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. Check
the label before re ¿ lling the refrigerant.
If the wrong type of refrigerant is used,
it could result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.
For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
