Please note that this manual
applies to all models and explains
all equipment, including options.
Therefore, you may find some
explanations for equipment not
installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this
manual are current at the time of
printing. However, because of the
Mazda policy of continual product
improvement, we reserve the right
to make changes at any time with-
out notice.
Depending on specifications, the
vehicle shown in the illustrations
may differ from your vehicle in
terms of equipment.
Both genuine Mazda and a wide
variety of other spare parts and
accessories for Mazda vehicles are
currently available on the market.
Should it be determined that any of
the genuine Mazda parts or acces-
sories supplied with the vehicle
need to be replaced, Mazda recom-
mends that genuine Mazda parts or
accessories, be used to replace
them. Other parts or accessories of
matching quality can also be used.
Mazda cannot accept any liability or
guarantee spare parts and acces-
sories which are not genuine
Mazda products, nor for replace-
ment or installation involving such
parts. In addition, damage or per-
formance problems resulting from
the use of non-genuine Mazda
spare parts or accessories may not
be covered under warranty.
Also, remodeling like this will have
an effect on advanced safety equip-
ment such as Safety Sense and
there is a danger that it will not work
properly or the danger that it may
work in situations where it should
not be working.
The installation of an RF-transmit-
ter system in your vehicle could
affect electronic systems such as:
zHybrid system
zMultiport fuel injection sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel
injection system
zSafety Sense (if equipped)
zDynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range (if
equipped)
zAnti-lock brake system
zSRS airbag system
zSeat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with any autho-
rized Mazda retailer or Mazda
authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer for precautionary mea-
sures or special instructions regard-
ing installation of an RF-transmitter
system.
Further information regarding fre-
quency bands, power levels,
antenna positions and installation
provisions for the installation of RF-
transmitters, is available on request
at any authorized Mazda retailer or
Mazda authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
High voltage parts and cables on
the hybrid vehicles emit approxi-
mately the same amount of electro-
magnetic waves as the
conventional gasoline powered
vehicles or home electronic appli-
ances despite of their electromag-
netic shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the
reception of the radio frequency
transmitter (RF-transmitter).
The vehicle is equipped with
sophisticated computers that will
record certain data, such as:
• Engine speed/Electric motor
speed (traction motor speed)
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the driving
assist systems
• Images from the cameras
Your vehicle is equipped with cameras.
Contact any authorized Mazda retailer
or Mazda authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer for the location of
recording cameras.
The recorded data varies according
to the vehicle grade level and
options with which it is equipped.
These computers do not record
conversations or sounds, and only
record images outside of the vehi-
cle in certain situations.
zData usage
Mazda may use the data recorded in
this computer to diagnose malfunc-
tions, conduct research and develop-
ment, and improve quality.
Mazda will not disclose the recorded
data to a third party except:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner
or with the consent of the lessee if
the vehicle is leased
• In response to an official request by
the police, a court of law or a govern-
ment agency
• For use by Mazda in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the
data is not tied to a specific vehicle or
vehicle owner
zRecorded image information can
be erased by any authorized
Mazda retailer or Mazda autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
The image recording function can be
disabled. However, if the function is dis-
abled, data from when the system oper-
ates will not be available.

The SRS airbag and seat belt pre-
tensioner devices in your Mazda
contain explosive chemicals. If the
vehicle is scrapped with the airbags
and seat belt pretensioners left as
they are, this may cause an acci-
dent such as fire. Be sure to have
the systems of the SRS airbag and
seat belt pretensioner removed and
disposed of by a qualified service
shop or by any authorized Mazda
retailer or Mazda authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer
before you scrap your vehicle.

WARNING
QGeneral precautions while driv-
ing
Driving under the influence: Never
drive your vehicle when under the
influence of alcohol or drugs that have
impaired your ability to operate your
vehicle. Alcohol and certain drugs
delay reaction time, impair judgment
and reduce coordination, which could
lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive
defensively. Anticipate mistakes that
other drivers or pedestrians might
make and be ready to avoid acci-
dents.
Driver distraction: Always give your
full attention to driving.Anything that
distracts the driver, such as adjusting
controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with
resulting death or serious injury to
you, your occupants or others.
QGeneral precaution regarding
children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle, and never allow children
to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehi-
cle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children
may injure themselves by playing with
the windows, or other features of the
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside
the vehicle can be fatal to children.
