When Driving
Instrument Cluster and Display
*Some models.
Active Driving Display *
Optical receiver
Dust-proof sheet
WARNING
Always adjust the display brightness and position with the vehicle stopped:
Adjusting the display brightness and position while driving the vehicle is dangerous as
doing so could distract your attention from the road ahead and lead to an accident.
CAUTION
¾ Do not place beverages near the active driving display. If water or other liquids are splashed
on the active driving display, it could cause damage.
¾ Do not place objects above the active driving display or apply stickers to the dust-proof
sheet/optical receiver as they will cause interference.
¾ A sensor is integrated to control the display's luminosity. If the optical receiver is covered,
the display's luminosity will lower making the display diffi cult to view.
¾ Do not allow intense light to hit the optical receiver. Otherwise, it could cause damage.
N O T E
y It may be dif ¿ cult to view the display when wearing polarized sunglasses. Take off your
polarized sunglasses or adjust the luminosity.
y If the battery has been removed and re-installed or the battery voltage is low, the adjusted
position may deviate.
y The display may be dif ¿ cult to view or temporarily affected by weather conditions such as
rain, snow, light, and temperature.
y If the audio system is removed, the active driving display cannot be operated.

When Driving
Rear View Monitor
*Some models.
Rear View Monitor *
The rear view monitor provides visual images of the rear of the vehicle when reversing.
WARNING
Always drive carefully confi rming the safety of the rear and the surrounding conditions
by looking directly with your eyes:
Reversing the vehicle by only looking at the screen is dangerous as it may cause an
accident or a collision with an object. The rear view monitor is only a visual assist device
when reversing the vehicle. The images on the screen may be diff erent from the actual
conditions.
CAUTION
¾ Do not use the rear view monitor under the following conditions: Using the rear view
monitor under the following conditions is dangerous and could result in injury or vehicle
damage or both.
¾ Icy or snow-covered roads.
¾ Tire chains or a temporary spare tire is installed.
¾ The liftgate is not fully closed.
¾ The vehicle is on a road incline.
¾ When the display is cold, images may course across the monitor or the screen and may be
dimmer than usual, which could cause diffi culty in confi rming the surrounding conditions
of the vehicle. Always drive carefully confi rming the safety of the rear and the surrounding
conditions by looking directly with your eyes.
¾ Do not apply excessive force to the camera. The camera position and angle may deviate.
¾ Do not disassemble, modify, or remove it as it may no longer be waterproof.
¾ The camera cover is made of plastic. Do not apply degreasing agents, organic solvents,
wax, or glass coating agents to the camera cover. If any are spilled on the cover, wipe off
with a soft cloth immediately.
¾ Do not rub the camera cover forcefully with an abrasive or hard brush. The camera cover or
lens may be scratched which might aff ect the images.

Brake Fluid
Inspecting Brake Fluid Level
WARNING
If the brake fl uid level is low, have the
brakes inspected:
A low brake fl uid level is dangerous.
A low level could indicate brake lining
wear or a brake system leak which
could cause the brakes to fail and lead
to an accident.
Inspect the À uid level in the reservoir
regularly. It should be kept between the
MAX and MIN lines.
The level normally drops with
accumulated distance, a condition
associated with wear of brake linings. If it
is excessively low, have the brake system
inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Washer Fluid
Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
WARNING
Use only windshield washer fl uid or
plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fl uid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield,
aff ect your visibility, and could result in
an accident.
Using Washer Fluid Without Anti-freeze
Protection in Cold Weather:
Operating your vehicle in temperatures
below 4 degrees C (40 degrees F)
using washer fl uid without anti-freeze
protection is dangerous as it could
cause impaired windshield vision and
result in an accident. In cold weather,
always use washer fl uid with anti-
freeze protection.
N O T E
State or local regulations may restrict the
use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs),
which are commonly used as anti-freeze
agents in washer À uid. A washer À uid with
limited VOC content should be used only
if it provides adequate freeze resistance
for all regions and climates in which the
vehicle will be operated.

Replacing a Tire
WARNING
Always use tires that are in good
condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and
traction could result in an accident.
Replace all four tires at the same time:
Replacing just one tire is dangerous. It
could cause poor handling and poor
braking resulting in loss of vehicle
control. Mazda strongly recommends
that you replace all four tires at the
same time.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will
appear as a solid band across the tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.
New treadTread wear indicator
Worn tread
You should replace the tire before the band
crosses the entire tread.
(With tire pressure monitoring system)
After adjusting the tire pressure,
initialization of the tire pressure
monitoring system is necessary to make
the system operate normally.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization on page 4-154 .
N O T E
Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used on the road. It
is recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or older.
Heat caused by hot climates or frequent
high loading conditions can accelerate
the aging process. You should replace the
spare tire when you replace the other road
tires due to the aging of the spare tire. The
period in which the tire was manufactured
(both week and year) is indicated by a
4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-24 .
Temporary Spare Tire
Inspect the temporary spare tire at least
monthly to make sure it is properly
in À ated and stored.
N O T E
The temporary spare tire condition
gradually deteriorates even if it has not
been used.
The temporary spare tire is easier to
handle because of its construction which
is lighter and smaller than a conventional
tire. This tire should be used only for an
emergency and only for a short distance.
Use the temporary spare tire only until the
conventional tire is repaired, which should
be as soon as possible.
Refer to Tires on page 9-9 .

*Some models.
CAUTION
¾ Do not use your temporary spare tire
rim with a snow tire or a conventional
tire. Neither will properly fi t and could
damage both tire and rim.
¾ The temporary spare tire has a tread life
of less than 5,000 km (3,000 miles). The
tread life may be shorter depending on
driving conditions.
¾ The temporary spare tire is for limited
use, however, if the tread wear solid-
band indicator appears, replace the tire
with the same type of temporary spare
(page 6-45 ).

Replacing a Wheel
WARNING
Always use wheels of the correct size on
your vehicle:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is
dangerous. Braking and handling
could be aff ected, leading to loss of
control and an accident.
CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely
aff ect:
¾ Tire fi t
¾ Wheel and bearing life
¾ Ground clearance
¾ Snow-chain clearance
¾ Speedometer calibration
¾ Headlight aim
¾ Bumper height
¾ Tire Pressure Monitoring System *
N O T E
y When replacing a wheel, make sure
the new one is the same as the original
factory wheel in diameter, rim width,
and offset (inset/outset).
y For details, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Proper tire balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and À at spots.

and change the direction in which the tires
are pointed to the position where the bulb
replacement can be done easily.
Turn the steering wheel after starting the
engine and stop the engine after you ¿ nish
turning the steering wheel.
1. If you are changing the right bulb, start
the engine, turn the steering wheel
all the way to the right, and turn off
engine. If you are changing the left
bulb, turn the steering wheel to the left,
and turn off engine.
2. Make sure the ignition is switched off,
and the headlight switch is off.
3. Turn the screw counterclockwise and
remove it.
