NOTE
There may be a problem with the
turn signal lights if they do not flash
but remain turned on, or they flash
abnormally. Have your vehicle
inspected by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
A personalized function is available
to change the turn indicator sound
volume.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
▼ Lane-Change Signals

Windshield Wipers and
Washer
▼Windshield Wipers and Washer
The windshield wipers and washer can
be used when the power switch is
switched ON.
WARNING
Use only windshield washer
fluid 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,
a ff ect your visibility, and could result in
an accident.
Only use windshield washer fluid
mixed with anti-freeze protection in
freezing weather conditions:
Using windshield washer fluid without
anti-freeze protection in freezing
weather conditions is dangerous as it
could freeze on the windshield and
block your vision which could cause an
accident. In addition, make sure the
windshield is su fficiently warmed using
the defroster before spraying the
washer fluid.
CAUTION
 When the wipers are not used during
freezing temperatures or for a long
time, the wiper rubber may adhere
to the glass. If the wipers are
operated while adhered to the glass,
it could damage the wiper rubber
and motor.

Hazard Warning Flasher
▼Hazard Warning Flasher
The hazard warning lights should
always be used when you stop on or
near a roadway in an emergency.

The hazard warning lights warn other
drivers that your vehicle is a tra
ffic
hazard and that they must take
extreme caution when near it.

Depress the hazard warning flasher
and all the turn signals will flash. The
hazard warning indicator lights in the
instrument cluster flash simultaneously.
NOTE
The turn signals do not work when
the hazard warning lights are on.
Check local regulations about the
use of hazard warning lights while
the vehicle is being towed to verify
that it is not in violation of the law.

The HomeLink system replaces up to 3
hand-held transmitters with a single
built-in component in the
auto-dimming mirror. Pressing the
HomeLink button on the
auto-dimming mirror activates garage
doors, gates and other devices
surrounding your home.

WARNING
Do not use the HomeLink system with
any garage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature:
Using the HomeLink system with any
garage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature as
required by federal safety standards is
dangerous. (This includes garage doors
manufactured before April 1, 1982.)

If the indicator light flashes
rapidly in green, firmly press and
hold the Homelink button and
release it after two seconds have
passed. Repeat this process up to
three times to complete the
programming. The device
becomes operational and
programming is complete. If the
device does not operate, go to
the next step.
5. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the “learn” or “smart” button.
This can usually be found where the
hanging antenna wire is attached to
the motor-head unit.
6. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and
color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.)
NOTE
Complete the programming within
30 seconds.
7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the Homelink
button, and then release it after
two seconds have passed. Repeat
the “ press/hold/release” sequence
a second time, and, depending on
the brand of the garage door
opener (or other rolling code
equipped device), repeat this
sequence a third time to complete
the programming process.
Press the programmed HomeLink
button and make sure that the
HomeLink System operates.

▼ Gate operator/Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or
quit) after several seconds of
transmission
― which may not be long
enough for HomeLink to pick up the
signal during programming. Similar to
this Canadian law, some U.S. gate
operators are designed to “time-out”
in the same manner.

If you live in Canada or are having
di fficulties programming a gate
operator by using the programming
procedures (regardless of where you
live), replace Step 3 of Programming

Emergency Stop SignalSystem
▼Emergency Stop Signal System
If you apply the brakes suddenly while
driving at a speed of about 55 km/h
(34 mph) or faster, the emergency stop
signal system automatically and rapidly
fl
ashes all the turn signal lights to
caution drivers behind your vehicle of
the sudden braking situation.
NOTE
Flashing
When you bring your vehicle to a
complete stop while all the turn
signal lights are flashing rapidly, the
rapid flashing of all the turn signal
lights changes back to the normal
fl ashing pattern. The turn signal lights
turn o ff when you release your foot
from the brake pedal.
Operation
When the ABS operates, the
emergency stop signal system is
more likely to operate. Therefore, if
the brake pedal is depressed on a
slippery road, all of the turn signal
lights may flash.
The emergency stop signal system
does not operate when the hazard
warning light switch is pressed.
Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
▼ Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
The HLA functions to assist in
accelerating the vehicle from a stop on
slopes. When releasing the brake pedal
and depressing the accelerator pedal
to accelerate the vehicle from a stop
while on a slope, the function prevents
the vehicle from rolling. The HLA also
operates when reversing on a slope.
The braking force is maintained
automatically after releasing the brake
pedal on a steep slope.
The HLA operates when the vehicle is
tilted rearward with the selector lever
in a forward gear, and operates when
the vehicle is tilted forward with the
selector lever in the R position.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on
HLA:
HLA is an auxiliary device for
accelerating from a stop on a slope.
The system only operates for about 2
seconds and therefore, relying only on
the system, when accelerating from a
stop is dangerous because the vehicle
may move (roll) unexpectedly and
cause an accident.
The vehicle could roll depending on
the vehicle's load.
Always con firm the safety around the
vehicle before starting to drive the
vehicle.
NOTE
HLA does not operate on a gentle
slope. In addition, the gradient of
the slope on which the system will
operate changes depending on the
vehicle's load.

*
▼Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
The BSM is designed to assist the driver
in checking the area to the rear of the
vehicle on both sides during lane
changes by notifying the driver of the
presence of vehicles approaching from
the rear in an adjacent lane.
BSM operation
The BSM detects vehicles approaching
from the rear while traveling in the
forward direction at a speed of 10
km/h (6.3 mph) or faster and noti
fies
the driver by turning on the BSM
warning indicator light and displaying
the vehicle detection screen.
If the turn signal lever is operated to
signal a turn in the direction in which
the BSM warning indicator light is
illuminated while the approaching
vehicle is detected, the BSM notifies
the driver of possible danger flashing
on the BSM warning indicator light,
and by activating the warning sound
and the warning screen indicator
display.
The detection area on this system
covers the driving lanes on both sides
of the vehicle and from the rear part of
