ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
Vehicle Starting:
Your vehicle is equipped with SKYACTIV combustion technology. This
technology includes AWS (Accelerated Warm-up System) for optimal
emission performance during cold starting conditions.
Cold Start (e.g., First start of the day on cold mornings):
Depress the brake (Automatic Trans.) or clutch (Manual Trans.), when the
key indicator light turns green push the START/STOP button.
What you will notice: On start-up, the engine speed and sound are
higher (1500 RPM) for 30 seconds to 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.
NOTE: You can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
Normal Start (Emission components within optimal
temperature range):
Depress the brake (Automatic Trans.) or clutch (Manual Trans.), when the
key indicator light turns green push the START/STOP button.

STARTING THE ENGINE
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).
• Shut the engine OFF by placing the vehicle in Park, then push the
START/STOP button.
• Activate Accessories (ACC) by pushing the START/STOP button
once without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
• To turn the ignition to the ON position, push the START/STOP
button twice without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
The key indicator light in the instrument cluster will show GREEN

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.

ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) CONTROL
AAS will automatically adjust how and when the transmission shifts gears
based on road conditions and your driving style.
The transmission may stay in a lower gear longer than usual when going up
or down hills or driving around corners. This feature gives you better control
and a more connected driving experience.
Transmission
MANUAL SHIFT MODE
The Manual Shift Mode gives you the feel of driving a manual transmission
by allowing you to manually shift to control engine rpm and torque when
more control is desired.
To Use
Manual Shift Mode:
• Shift the lever
from D to M.
To Shift Up
To A Higher Gear:
• Tap the shift lever
back (+) once.
To Shift Down
To A Lower Gear:
• Tap the shift lever
forward (-) once. 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
• Push the clutch pedal completely down to start
the engine and to shift gears.
• To place the transmission in Reverse, place shifter
in the neutral position, push the shifter knob
down, move to the left and push forward.
www.MazdaUSA.com
HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA)
HLA helps assist you when accelerating
the vehicle from a stop while on a hill
or slope.
When the brake pedal is released and the accelerator pedal is pushed,
HLA prevents the vehicle from rolling forward or backward. It operates
on a downward slope when the shift lever is in the reverse (R) position,
and on an upward slope when the shift lever is in a position other than
the reverse (R) position.
NOTE: The HLA system will hold the vehicle for a maximum of 2.0 seconds
while the driver is changing from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL KICKDOWN SWITCH*
The accelerator pedal is equipped with a kickdown
switch to give the driver more control and to improve
fuel economy.
When you depress the accelerator 95% of the way,
you will feel an increase in resistance. Push harder,
and you will feel a click as you activate the kickdown
switch. The transmission will usually downshift (depending
on engine speed) and the engine will switch to maximum
power mode. This kickdown switch function is the same in
both Manual mode and in “D”.
*Available on vehicles with automatic transmission only.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (Type A)
Various Lockouts:
Indicates that you must depress the
brake pedal and hold in the lock-release
button to shift (The ignition must be
switched ON).
Indicates the shift lever can be

FUEL ECONOMY
To achieve the best fuel economy:
• Drive sensibly. Speeding, rapid acceleration
and excessive braking will lower fuel economy.
• Observe the speed limit. Fuel economy can decrease rapidly
at speeds above 60 mph.
• Keep tires properly inflated. Under-inated tires will lower
fuel economy.
• Use the recommended grade of oil specified in the owner’s
manual and keep the engine properly maintained. Visit your
Authorized Mazda Dealer who specializes in the servicing of
Mazda engines.
• Monitor the Current Fuel Economy in the Information Display.
The current fuel economy is calculated every 2 seconds.
Additional items that also help increase fuel economy:
• Remove excess weight. Heavy items in the vehicle will lower
fuel economy.
• Avoid excessive idling. Idling for long periods will waste gas.
• Use cruise control. Using cruise control on the highway helps to
maintain a constant speed and saves gas.
• Use overdrive gears. Using overdrive gearing reduces the vehicle’s
engine speed, which saves gas and reduces engine wear.
• Use a quality gasoline with the recommended octane. Use of higher
octane gasoline will not improve your fuel economy.
