If an obstruction in the same detection range is detected continuously for 6
seconds or longer, only the warning sound stops (excluding the closest detection
range). When the detection range changes to the close side, the warning sound
resumes.

Turning oﬀ the parking sensors

The parking sensors turn oﬀ and the parking sensor OFF switch indicator light turns

Winter Driving

Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, ﬂares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag
of sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
check the following:



Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Refer to Inspecting the Coolant on
page 9-18.



Inspect the battery and its cables.
Cold reduces battery capacity.



Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that
the vehicle will be driven in (page
9-22).



Inspect the ignition system for
damage and loose connections.



Use washer ﬂuid made with
antifreeze

―

but do not use engine

coolant antifreeze for washer ﬂuid
(page 9-21).

When driving on ice or in water, snow,
mud, sand, or similar hazards:



Be cautious and allow extra distance
for braking.



Avoid sudden braking and sudden
maneuvering.



Do not pump the brakes. Continue
to press down on the brake pedal.
Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS)
on page 5-84.



If you get stuck, select a lower gear
and accelerate slowly. Do not spin
the front wheels.



For more traction in starting on
slippery surfaces such as ice or
packed snow, use sand, rock salt,
chains, carpeting, or other nonslip
material under the front wheels.

NOTE



Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windshield is dangerous
as it could obstruct vision.



Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice
or frozen snow on the mirror glass
and windshield.



Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.



Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely aﬀected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake
components. If this situation occurs,
drive the vehicle slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to
normal.

Snow Tires

WARNING

Do Not Use Tires Other Than The
Speciﬁed Size. In Addition, Do Not
Mix Diﬀerent Types Of Tires.

Using tires with sizes other than the
speciﬁed size or mixing diﬀerent tire
types is dangerous. It could
compromise the vehicle's driveability,
resulting in an accident. In addition, it
could be in violation of the law.
Use the tire size indicated on the label
applied to the door frame of the
driver’s door while the door is open.
Use only the same type tires on all four
wheels.

CAUTION

Check local regulations before using
studded tires.

Use snow tires on all 4 wheels

Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75
mph) while driving with snow tires.
When installing winter tires, use tires of
the speciﬁed size and adjust the air
pressure of all the tires to the speciﬁed
value. (page 10-69).

Mexico

The vehicle is originally equipped with
summer tires designed for optimum
traction on wet and dry roads. If your
vehicle is to be used on snow and ice
covered roads, Mazda recommends
that you replace the tires originally
equipped on your vehicle with snow
tires during the winter months.

Except Mexico

The vehicle is originally equipped with
all season radials designed to be used
all year around. In some extreme
climates you may ﬁnd it necessary to
replace them with snow tires during
the winter months to further improve
traction on snow and ice covered
roads.

Tire Chains

Check local regulations before using
tire chains.

CAUTION



Chains may aﬀect handling.



Do not go faster than 50 km/h (30
mph) or the chain manufacturer's
recommended limit, whichever is
lower.



Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, and sharp turns.



Avoid locked-wheel braking.



Do not use chains on a temporary
spare tire; it may result in damage to
the vehicle and to the tire.



Do not use chains on roads that are
free of snow or ice. The tires and
chains could be damaged.



Chains may scratch or chip
aluminum wheels.

NOTE

The tire pressure monitoring system
may not function correctly when using
tire chains.

Install the chains on the rear tires only.
Do not use chains on the front tires.
Please consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

Installing the chains

1. If your vehicle is equipped with

wheel covers remove them,
otherwise the chain bands will
scratch them.

2. Secure the chains on the rear tires

as tightly as possible. Always follow
the chain manufacturer's
instructions.

3. Retighten the chains after driving

Turbocharger

(SKYACTIV-G 2.5T)

The turbocharger greatly enhances
engine power. Its advanced design
provides improved operation and
requires minimum maintenance.

Warnings and Cautions

for Using the

Turbocharger

CAUTION



After driving at freeway speeds or up
a long hill, idle the engine at least 30
seconds before stopping it.
Otherwise, the turbocharger could
be damaged. However, when i-stop
operates, idling is unnecessary.



Racing or over-revving the engine,
particularly after it's just been
started, can damage the
turbocharger.



To protect the engine from damage,
the engine is designed so that it
cannot be raced just after starting it
in extremely cold weather.

If the windshield fogs up easily, press
the

switch.



If cooler air is desired at face level,
press the

switch and adjust the

temperature control dial to maintain
maximum comfort.



The air to the ﬂoor is warmer than air
to the face (except when the

Warnings and Cautions

For Using the Seat

Warmer

WARNING

Be careful when using the seat
warmer.

The heat from the seat warmer may be
too hot for the following people and
could cause a low-temperature burn.



Infants, small children, elderly
people, and physically challenged
people



People with delicate skin



People who are excessively fatigued



People who are intoxicated



People who have taken
sleep-inducing medicine such as
sleeping pills or cold medicine

Do not use the seat warmer with
anything having high
moisture-retention ability such as a
blanket or cushion on the seat.

The seat may be heated excessively
and cause a low-temperature burn.

Do not use the seat warmer even
when taking a short nap in the
vehicle.

The seat may be heated excessively
and cause a low-temperature burn.

Do not place heavy objects with sharp
projections on the seat, or insert
needles or pins into it.

This could cause the seat to become
excessively heated and result in injury
from a minor burn.
