ALC (Automatic volume adjustment)
The automatic level control (ALC) is a
feature that automatically adjusts audio
volume and sound quality according to
the vehicle speed. The volume increases
in accordance with the increase in vehicle
speed, and decreases as vehicle speed
decreases.
Bose
® AudioPilot (Automatic volume
adjustment)
When driving, background noise can
interfere with enjoying music.
AudioPilot
® *3 noise compensation
technology continuously adjusts the music
to compensate for background noise and
vehicle speed.
It reacts only to sustained noise sources
and not intermittent ones, such as speed
bumps.
An enhanced DSP algorithm allows faster
and more effective compensation for
unusual situations, such as driving on a
very rough road or at high speeds.
In addition, a system is equipped which
switches the audio to the optimum
acoustics corresponding to the opening
and closing of the soft top/roof.
The acoustic switching function is linked
to the operation of the top lock lever/
retractable fastback switch and audio
playback is muted for about 1 second
while switching.

Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
Convertible Top (Retractable
Fastback) Maintenance
W a s h i n g
To help protect the retractable fastback's
¿ nish, use a soft cloth or sponge to wash
it.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial fallout, and similar deposits can
damage the ¿ nish if they are not removed
immediately. When prompt washing with
plain water is ineffective use a mild soap
made for use on vehicles.
CAUTION
¾ Do not use an automatic car wash.
¾ Do not spray water directly on the
area where the window glass and the
retractable fastback meet. This would
probably cause water to enter the cabin.
¾ Do not use strong soap, chemical
detergents, or hot water, and do not
wash the retractable fastback in direct
sunlight or when the surface is warm.
Thoroughly rinse with lukewarm or cold
water. Do not allow soap to dry on the
¿ nish.
Waxing
Wax the retractable fastback when water
no longer beads on the paint. Always wash
and dry it before waxing.
CAUTION
¾ Wiping off dust or dirt with a dry cloth
will scratch the fi nish.
¾ Do not use abrasive wax. This may
damage the protective coating and
discolor or deteriorate the paint.
N O T E
A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and
similar materials will usually also take off
the wax. Rewax these areas.
Drainage outlet cleaning procedure
There are drainage outlets on the left and
right of the lower side of the rear window.
Rear roofDrainage

N O T E
If leaves or other foreign matter block

CAUTION
¾ Do not drive the vehicle with the roof partially open. The vehicle operation may be aff ected
by the wind and could result in an accident.
¾ Do not perform the procedure in a strong wind as it could cause an unexpected accident.
¾ Two adults are required to perform the procedure, especially when lifting up the front roof.
Do not do it alone so as not to cause injury or vehicle damage.
¾ Some steps in the procedure require using multiple tools at the same time and a certain
level of technical expertise. In addition, holding your body extended over the car can result
in muscle strains so Mazda recommends having the roof checked at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
