Lane Departure Warning System
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM (LDWS) (if equipped)
The LDWS recognizes painted lane lines on a road using the forward 
sensing camera (FSC) installed to the windshield. If the vehicle deviates 
from its lane at speeds above 44 mph, the system alerts the driver using 
the following indicators.
Use the LDWS switch to 
turn system ON or OFF
WARNING: LDWS is only a supplementary 
system to warn the driver that the vehicle may be 
deviating from its lane, however the LDWS has 
limitations. Do not rely solely on the LDWS. Relying 
solely on the LDWS may cause an unexpected 
accident resulting in death or serious injury. Always 
pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is 
traveling and drive safely.
NOTE:  Any driver input (e.g., turn signal, steering or acceleration) will cancel warning.
NOTE: Yo u   can change the warning indicator between a rumble or beeping sound in 
the vehicle personalization features.

Blind Spot Monitoring System
NOTE: Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over 
your shoulder before changing lanes: 
•    The BSM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the surroundings, 
but is not a complete substitute. 
•  The driver is responsible for ensuring safe lane changes and other maneuvers. 
•    Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the 
vehicle’s surroundings.  
•    The BSM system does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about   
6.2 mph (10 km/h).
Turning BSM System Off
Turning the BSM system off will turn off both the light and sound 
indicators. To manually turn the BSM system off, push the BSM 
OFF switch on the dash. The BSM OFF indicator will illuminate 
in the instrument cluster when the BSM system is off. The BSM 
system will retain the last setting before the ignition was turned off.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver   
by monitoring the blind spots to the rear of the vehicle on both sides.
•    If your vehicle speed is about 6.2 mph (10 km/h) or more, the BSM 
will warn you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the 
BSM warning lights located on the left and right door mirrors.
•    If you operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM warning 
light, the system will also warn you with a beep and warning light flash.
•    BSM sensors are located under the left and right rear bumper areas.   
The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper gets too   
dirty, so keep the rear bumper area clean. 
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.

Audio Controls (with Mazda Connect)
AUDIO OPERATION USING VOICE
Audio operation and media selection 
can be done using voice. Push the 
“TALK” button on the steering wheel,  wait for a beep, then say a command in a clear, natural voice (not too fast or 
too slow). Some common commands 
are listed below.
Play (and any of the following):
AM, FM, XM, CD, Bluetooth, Aha,  Pandora, Stitcher, USB, AUX
Play or Resume / Pause or 
Stop / Next or Previous
Play (and any of the following):
Song, Playlist 
Artist 
Tune to Station 
Tune to Channel Number (XM)
HD RADIO
HD radio has a special 
receiver which allows it to 
receive digital broadcasts 
(where available) in addition  to the analog broadcasts  it already receives. Digital broadcasts have better 
sound quality than analog  broadcasts as digital 
broadcasts provide free, 
crystal clear audio.
When the HD radio button is ON (red), there could be 
a noticeable difference in  sound quality and volume  when a change from digital to analog signals occurs.  If the sound quality and 
volume becomes noticeably 
diminished or cuts off,  select the HD button to turn 
OFF HD radio (not red).
GRACENOTE
The Gracenote media database is used to improve  voice recognition of artist and album names with the Mazda Hands Free system. To make best use of the 
voice recognition, install the most recent database.
  1   Load the Gracenote update on a memory stick 
from www.MazdaUSA.com/USB. Insert the 
memory stick into the USB port.
 2  Go to System Settings in the infotainment system.
  3   Select Music Database Update.
NOTE: To use BT audio, make sure the musical 
icon is displayed by going to  Bluetooth in Device 
settings. Some Bluetooth® audio devices need a 
certain amount of time before the icon is displayed.
NOTE: Push the TALK button and say “Help” at any time to hear a list of 
available commands.
