Cruise Control
NOTE
 The cruise control speed setting cannot
be performed under the following
conditions:
 (Automatic transmission)
The selector lever is in the P or N
position. (Manual transmission)
The shift lever is in the neutral
position. The parking brake is applied.
 Release the SET/ switch at the desired
speed, otherwise the speed will continue
decreasing while the SET/ switch is
pressed and held (except when the
accelerator pedal is depressed). On a steep grade, the vehicle may
momentarily slow down while ascending
or speed up while descending. The cruise control will cancel if the
vehicle speed decreases below 21 km/h
(13 mph) when the cruise control is
activated, such as when climbing a
steep grade. The cruise control may cancel at about
15 km/h (9 mph) below the preset speed,
such as when climbing a long, steep
grade.
The vehicle speed preset using the cruise
control is displayed in the instrument
cluster.
To Increase Cruising Speed
Follow either of these procedures.
To increase speed using cruise control
switch
Press the RESUME/ switch and hold it.
Your vehicle will accelerate. Release the
switch at the desired speed.
Press the RESUME/ switch and release
it immediately to adjust the preset speed.
Multiple operations will increase the
preset speed according to the number of
times it is operated.
Increasing speed with a single
RESUME/ switch operation
Meter display for vehicle speed indicated
in km/h: 1 km/h (0.6 mph)
Meter display for vehicle speed indicated
in mph: 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
To increase speed using accelerator
pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate
to the desired speed. Press the SET/
switch and release it immediately.

When Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
*Some models.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System*
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all\
four tires. If
the air pressure of one or more tires is too low, the system warns the driver by indicating the
tire pressure monitoring system warning light in the instrument cluster \
and operating a beep
sound. The system monitors the tire pressures indirectly using the data sent from the ABS
wheel speed sensors.
To allow the system to operate correctly, the system needs to be initialized with the specified
tire pressure (value on the tire pressure label). Follow the procedure\
and perform the
initialization.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on page 4-96.
The warning light flashes when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-16.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization
In the following cases, system
initialization must be performed so that the
system operates normally.
 A tire pressure is adjusted. Tire rotation is performed. A tire or wheel is replaced. The battery is replaced or completely
drained. The tire pressure monitoring system
warning light is illuminated.
Initialization method
1. Park the car in a safe place and firmly
apply the parking brake.
2. Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire
pressure of all four (4) tires to the
specified pressure indicated on the tire
pressure label located on the driver's
door frame (door open).
Refer to Tires on page 9-8.
3. Switch the ignition ON.
4. While the vehicle is parked, press
and hold the tire pressure monitoring
system set switch and verify that
the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light in the instrument cluster
flashes twice and a beep sound is heard
once.
CAUTION
If the system initialization is performed
without adjusting the tire pressure,
the system cannot detect the normal
tire pressure and it may not illuminate
the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light even if a tire pressure is
low, or it may illuminate the light even
if the pressures are normal.
Adjust the tire pressure on all four
tires and initialize the system when
the warning light is turned on. If the
warning light turns on for a reason
other than a flat tire, the tire pressure
of all four tires may have decreased
naturally.
The system initialization will not be
performed if the switch is pressed while
the vehicle is being driven.

Rico)
Follow Schedule 1 if the vehicle is operated mainly where none of the fo\
llowing conditions
(severe driving conditions)apply.
 Repeated short-distance driving Driving in dusty conditions Driving with extended use of brakes Driving in areas where salt or other corrosive materials are used Driving on rough or muddy roads Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation Driving for long periods in cold temperatures or extremely humid climate\
s Driving in extremely hot conditions Driving in mountainous conditions continually
If any do apply, follow Schedule 2. (Canada and Puerto Rico residents follow Schedule \

Vehicles using Engine Oil Flexible Maintenance
Engine Oil Flexible Maintenance is available for U.S.A. and Puerto Rico residents whose
vehicle is operated mainly where none of the following conditions apply:\
 Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation such as police car, taxi or driving
school car Driving in dusty conditions
If any do apply, follow Schedule 2 with engine oil fixed maintenance.
Once engine oil flexible maintenance is selected, the vehicle calculates the remaining oil life
based on engine operating conditions. The vehicle lets you know when an oil change is due
by illuminating the wrench indicator light in the instrument cluster. Change the oil as soon
as possible within the next 500 km (300 mile) or 15 days. Refer page 6-20 for the details.
Mazda Genuine 0W-20 Oil and Castrol® 0W-20 Oil are required to achieve optimum
performance.
NOTE
 Please ensure that the Flexible Oil Maintenance Setting is reset after each Oil and Filter
replacement. For maintenance guidelines beyond the miles/months listed, follow the ma\
intenance
intervals provided in the Scheduled Maintenance Tables.
