Troubleshooting
SiriusXM® use-related issues
SymptomCauseSolution method
SiriusXM
® loads slowly. Since SiriusXM Travel Link
® re‐
ceives data from geo-synchronous
satellites and the data is transmitted
at preset intervals. When the system
is loading the SiriusXM
® data in the
background, There may be occa‐
sions when the SiriusXM
® function
is waiting on data before it can be
accessed. Allow time for SiriusXM Travel
Link
® to complete the loading of
the SiriusXM® data.
Apple CarPlay™ use-related issues
Symptom CauseSolution method
Apple CarPlay™ cannot launch
even though an Apple
®-genuine
connector cord is inserted into the
USB port and it is connected to my
iPhone
®. You used the wrong USB port.
Use the USB port displaying the
mark to start Apple CarPlay™.
The error message, “Mobile device
error” is displayed after connecting
my iPhone
® to the USB port. There is mis-communication be‐
tween the vehicle's audio system
and your iPhone®.
Disconnect the connector cord from
the USB port once and then recon‐
nect it.
The icon of the application I want to
use is not displayed on the home
screen of Apple CarPlay™. Only applications compatible with
Apple CarPlay™ are displayed on
the screen.
Contact the application's supplier.
Voice recognition using Siri
® is
poor or incorrect for commands or
contact names. There are many possible reasons for
this such as:
1. Poor network connectivity
2. Road noise/sound of air blow‐
ing from air conditioner
3. Incorrect iPhone
® language set‐
ting 1. Use the commander switch to
complete the task or wait until
there is sufficient network con‐
nectivity before using Siri
®
again.
2. For better voice recognition, speak loud and clear.
3. Make sure that the iPhone
® lan‐
guage is set correctly (Example:

Use only a Mazda-genuine tire valve cap:
Use of a non-genuine part is dangerous as
the correct tire air pressure cannot be
maintained if the tire valve becomes
damaged. If the vehicle is driven under this
condition, the tire air pressure will decrease
which could result in a serious accident. Do
not use any part for the tire valve cap that
is not a Mazda-genuine part.
Inspect all tire pressures monthly when the
tires are cold. Maintain recommended
pressures for the best ride, handling, and
minimum tire wear.
Refer to the specification charts (page
9-8).
NOTE
Always check tire pressure when tires
are cold.
Warm tires normally exceed
recommended pressures. Do not release
air from warm tires to adjust the
pressure.
Underinflation can cause reduced fuel
economy, uneven and accelerated tire
wear, and poor sealing of the tire bead,
which will deform the wheel and cause
separation of tire from rim.
Overinflation can produce a harsh ride,
uneven and accelerated tire wear, and a
greater possibility of damage from road
hazards.
Keep your tire pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs inflating,
have it inspected.
▼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 every 12,000 km (7,500
miles). However Mazda recommends to
rotate every 8,000 km (5,000 miles) to help
increase tire life and distribute wear more
evenly.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance on page
6-4.

During rotation, inspect them for correct
balance.

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

CAUTION
Do not shake the bottle excessively.
Otherwise, the sealant could spray out
of the injection hose, and if the sealant
contacts clothing or other objects, you
may not be able to remove it.
NOTE
The sealant hardens easily and
injecting it will be difficult under cold
weather conditions (0 °C (32 °F) or
below). Warm the sealant inside the
vehicle to facilitate injection.
7. Pull out the air compressor hose and
the air compressor plug from the air
compressor.
