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 (First start of the day on cold mornings):
Depress the brake (Automatic Trans.) or clutch (Manual Trans.), when the key
indicator light turns green (if equipped) 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 press 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
(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 cup holder is a dead zone for transmitter reception.

This 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

MAZDA RADAR CRUISE CONTROL (MRCC) SYSTEM
(if equipped)
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system maintains vehicle
speed and distance using a radar sensor to detect a vehicle ahead. The
driver simply presets the vehicle speed between 19 mph (30 km/h) and
90 mph (145 km/h).
The system operates in two modes, Constant Speed and Headway Control modes:
Constant Speed Mode
When no vehicle is detected ahead, the
driver’s set speed is maintained.
Headway Control Mode
When a vehicle is detected ahead, a
distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead is maintained.

FORWARD OBSTRUCTION WARNING (FOW)
Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) is a system which
alerts the driver of a possible collision using an indicator
and warning sound in the instrument cluster while the
vehicle is being driven at about 10 mph or faster (15 km/h
or faster) and the system’s radar sensor determines that
your vehicle may hit a vehicle or obstruction ahead.
HOW TO SET THE SPEED
1Adjust the vehicle speed to the desired setting using the
accelerator pedal.
2Headway control begins when the SET + or SET – switch is pressed.
The set speed and the inter-vehicle distance display lled with white
lines is displayed. The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) indicator
light (green) is indicated simultaneously.

ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS) (if equipped)
The adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) automatically turns the headlight
beam to the right or left in conjunction with the direction of the steering wheel.
The AFS improves the direction of headlight illumination while cornering, and
only works when the vehicle is moving.
NOTE:
• With AFS, it is normal to see the headlights move and hear the sound of the
headlight leveling motors at the front of the vehicle when the ignition is ON.
• The system will need to be reset if the vehicle battery has been disconnected
or the system fuse has been replaced. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for
easy to follow resetting instructions.

Tires
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that detects low tire pressure in one or more tires. 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.

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 B-pillar or edge
of driver’s door frame for specication) 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 pressed without adjusting the tire
pressure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure. The TPMS
warning light may not illuminate, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may
illuminate if the tire pressure is normal.

Transmission
STEERING SHIFT SWITCH MANUAL SHIFT MODE (if equipped)
The Steering Shift Switch A/T 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 Steering Shift Switches:
• Shift the lever from D or M.
To Shift Up To A
Higher Gear:
• Pull the steering
UP switch (+) once.
To Shift Down To A
Lower Gear:
• Pull the steering
DOWN switch (-) once.
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”.
- DOWN Shift
Switch
HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA)
This feature 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 pressed, 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.
+ UP Shift
Switch
NOTE: Steering Shift Switches
can be used in “D” or “M”.
ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) CONTROL
The transmission will automatically adjust how and when it 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.
