by the vehicle system, it unlocks when
the driver’s door is unlocked.
If the charge connector locked by the
vehicle system is not unlocked even
though the driver’s door is unlocked,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

The conditions for locking the system
on the vehicle side can be changed.
For the procedure to change the
conditions, refer to Charging Settings
on page 3-21.

Your vehicle is tilted (such as when
heavy luggage is in the luggage
compartment or on the rear seat).
Your vehicle is towing another
vehicle.
The vehicle is making a sharp curve,
or ascending or descending a steep
slope.
The vehicle is driven on roads with
sharp curves or undulations.
The vehicle is driven on uneven
roads.
The vehicle is driven next to walls
with no patterning (including fences
and longitudinally striped walls).
There are water puddles on the road.The road surface is shiny.
Front Radar Sensor*
▼Front Radar Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with a front
radar sensor.
1. Front radar sensor

The following systems also use the
front radar sensor.
Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)Mazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with
Stop & Go function)
Tra
ffic Jam Assist (TJA)Smart brake support (SBS) forward
drive detection
The front radar sensor functions by
detecting the radio waves re flected o ff
a vehicle ahead or an obstruction sent
from the radar sensor.
CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to
assure correct operation of each
system.
 Do not apply a sticker (including a
transparent one) to the front radar
sensor cover or replace the front
radar sensor cover with a product
other than a genuine product.

▼Tire Rotation
WARNING
Rotate tires periodically:
Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining
good performance
in handling and
braking, rotate the tires periodically or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
Please refer to Scheduled maintenance
for your tire rotation interval.
During rotation, inspect them for
correct balance.
NOTE
Because your vehicle is not equipped
with a spare tire, you cannot do a tire
rotation safely with the jack that comes
with your vehicle. Have an Authorized
Mazda Dealer perform tire rotation.

1. Forward
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tire in rotation.

Also, inspect them for uneven wear
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually
caused by one or a combination of the
following:
Incorrect tire pressureImproper wheel alignmentOut-of-balance wheel
Severe braking

After rotation, in flate all tire pressures
to specifi cation on page 9-5 and
inspect the lug nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial
tires that have an asymmetrical tread
pattern or studs only from front to rear,
not from side to side. Tire performance
will be reduced if rotated from side to
side.
▼ 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.

▼ 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.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.
1. New tread
2. Worn tread
3. Tread wear indicator

You should replace the tire before the
band crosses the entire tread.
NOTE
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 load
ing 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 8-21.
▼ Safety Practices
The way you drive has a great deal to
do with your tire mileage and safety.
So cultivate good driving habits for
your own bene
fit.
Observe posted speed limits and
drive at speeds that are safe for the
existing weather conditions
Avoid fast starts, stops and turnsAvoid potholes and objects on the
road
Do not run over curbs or hit the tire
against the curb when parking
CAUTION
If you feel a sudden vibration or ride
disturbance while driving or you
suspect your tire or vehicle has been
damaged, immediately reduce your
speed. Drive with caution until you can
safely pull
off the road. Stop and
inspect the tire for damage. If the tire
is under-in flated or damaged, de flate
it, remove the tire and rim and replace
it with your spare tire. If you cannot
detect a cause, have the vehicle towed
to the nearest vehicle or tire dealer to
have the vehicle inspected.
