2This indicator light illuminates to remind you that the front passenger’s front/side airbags
and seat belt pretensioner will not deploy during a collision. The reason for this is that the
weight in the seat is less than approximately 66 lbs. Always wear your seat belt and secure children in the rear
seats in appropriate child restraints. See the Owner’s Manual for important information on this safety feature.
NOTE: Indicator light turns off when conditions have been met for necessary airbag deployment. See

ADVANCED KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM (if equipped)
• Thissystemallowsyoutolock
and unlock the doors without
taking the key out.
While Carrying the
Advanced Key…
• Unlock the driver’s door
by pushing the driver’s door
request switch once.
• Unlock all doors by pushing
the driver’s door request switch
once or twice (depending on
personalization setting) OR by
pushing the passenger’s door
request switch once.
• Lock all doors by pushing any
request switch once.
• Open the trunk/liftgate

www.MazdaUSA.com
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with the Advanced Keyless Entry System and the
Keyless Entry System both use the same type of keyless entry transmitter.
However, only vehicles equipped with the Advanced Keyless Entry System allow
you to lock and unlock the doors with the door request switches (without taking
the key out of your purse or pocket).
Vehicles equipped with the Keyless Entry System do not have request switches
on the doors/trunk. To lock and unlock the doors, the corresponding transmitter
button must be pushed.
NOTE: For the hatchback, when the liftgate opener switch is pushed, the liftgate
will open slightly. If the liftgate is not opened within 1.5 seconds, the liftgate latch
locks (you will hear it lock) and the liftgate cannot be opened or closed from this
slightly raised position. To open/close the liftgate, push the liftgate opener switch,
open the liftgate within 1.5 seconds, then close it. The door/liftgate ajar warning light
will be on if the liftgate is not fully closed.

STARTING THE ENGINE WITH
ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
The Mazda3 is equipped with SKYACTIV combustion technology. This
technology includes AWS (Accelerated Warm-up System) for optimal
emission performance during cold starting conditions.
While Carrying the Key…
• Start the engine by pushing the START/STOP button while
pushing the clutch pedal (manual transmission) or the brake pedal
(automatic transmission).
What you will notice: On start-up, the engine speed and sound are
higher (1500 RPM) for less than 1 minute to quickly bring the catalyst
to efcient operating temperature. The RPM will reduce to idle once the
temperature is achieved. This is normal engine operation under cold
start conditions.
What this does: This heats up the catalytic converter faster to reduce
emissions and allows Mazda to use an exhaust header on the engine (to
improve efciency and horsepower).
NOTE: You can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
Key
• Shut the engine OFF by setting the parking brake/placing the vehicle
in Park (automatic transmission), then push the START/STOP button.
• Activate Accessories (ACC) by pushing the START/STOP button
once without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
• Turn the ignition to the ON position by pushing the START/STOP
button twice without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
The key indicator light in the instrument cluster will show GREEN
(engine ready to start) when the key is detected and the clutch pedal (M/T)
or the brake pedal (A/T) is pushed. If the KEY warning light illuminates
RED, or the START/STOP button indicator light ashes AMBER, this
could indicate a problem with the engine starting system and the inability
to start the engine or switch the ignition to ACC or ON. Have your vehicle
inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
NOTE: RED Key Indicator Light may ash if the key is placed in the cup holder.
The key may not be detected in the cup holder.

transmitter (as shown).
3After the GREEN indicator light
illuminates constantly, push
the START/STOP button with
your nger to start the engine.
BREAK-IN PERIOD

• Do not maintain one constant
speed, either slow or fast,
for a long period of time.
• Avoid full-throttle starts.

Tires
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
For your safety, the Mazda3 is equipped with TPMS that detects low tire
pressure in one or more tires. If the tire pressure starts getting low in
one or more tires, the system alerts the driver by turning on a light in the
instrument cluster (p. 35-38) and sounding an alarm.
What to do: Don’t ignore the TPMS warning light. Stop and check your
tire pressure (when tires are cold) and inate them to the proper pressure.
Properly inated tires are safer, last longer, and increase fuel economy.
In the following cases, the TPMS must be “initialized” so the system can
operate normally.
 • Thetirepressureisadjusted(upordown)inoneormoretires.
 • Atirerotationisperformed.
 • Anytireorwheelisreplaced.
 • Thevehicle’sbatteryisdisconnected,replacedorcompletelydead.
Initialization Process (TPMS Warning Light is Illuminated):
1Park the vehicle in a safe place and rmly apply the parking brake.
2Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specied
pressure (See tire label located on the driver’s side door jam area) on
all four (4) tires.
3Switch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked.
4Push and hold the TPMS “Set Switch” (left side of dash)
until the TPMS warning light in the
instrument cluster ashes twice and
a beep sound is heard once.
CAUTION: If the TPMS “Set Switch” is pushed without adjusting the tire
pressure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure. The TPMS
warning light may not turn on, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may turn
on if the tire pressure is normal.
NOTE: Drastic changes in temperature or altitude may cause the TPMS
warning light to turn on.

or right side remote handle lever(s).
3Open a rear door and fold the
seatback forward.
FRONT SEATS
For your safety, the front seats are equipped with active headrests that
are not adjustable forward or backward, only up and down. An active
headrest is designed to move forward in the event of a collision to close
the gap between your head and the headrest (to prevent whiplash).
Driver’s Seat Lumbar Support Adjustment
(if equipped)
To increase the lumbar support, move the lever
upward. Move the lever downward to decrease
lumbar support.
5door hatchback
Push the button to fold
down the seatback.
NOTE: For tall drivers and front passengers who
adjust the front seats all the way back, the headrests
on the rear seats need to be removed when folding the
rear seatbacks down. If not removed, the rear headrest
will press into the front seatback. In order to remove the
headrest from the rear seat, the seatback needs to be
tilted slightly forward.
NOTE: Left rear seat release is shown.
