Advanced Key

Request Switch

While Carrying the Advanced Key…

• Unlock the driver’s door

STARTING THE ENGINE WITH ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)

The Mazda3 is equipped with SK YACTIV 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 ENGINE button while

pushing the clutch pedal (M/T) or the brake pedal (A/ T).

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.

• Shut the engine OFF by setting the parking brake/placing the

vehicle in Park (A/T), then push the START/STOP ENGINE button.

• Activate Accessories (ACC) by pushing the START/STOP

ENGINE button once without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.

• Turn the ignition to the ON position by pushing the START/STOP

ENGINE button twice without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.

The key indicator light (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 ENGINE 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.

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.

Emergency Engine Stop

Pushing and holding the START/STOP ENGINE button or repeatedly pushing the button while the engine is running will turn the engine OFF. Use only in case of an emergency.

Emergency Vehicle Entry

If the key cannot be used due to a malfunction or dead key battery, use the auxiliary key to lock or unlock the doors.

Emergency Engine Start

If the engine cannot be started due to a dead key battery:

1 Push the brake pedal (A/T)

or the clutch pedal (M/ T).

2 While the indicator light ashes

GREEN, touch the START/STOP

ENGINE button using the back side of the transmitter (as shown).

3 After the GREEN indicator light

illuminates constantly, push the START/STOP ENGINE button with your nger to start the engine.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

No special break-in is necessary, but a few precautions in the rst 600 miles should be observed.

• Do not race the engine.

• Do not maintain one constant

speed, either slow or fast, for a long period of time.

• Avoid full-throttle starts.

• Avoid unnecessary hard stops.

• Do not drive constantly at

full-throttle or high engine rpm for extended periods of time.

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)

1 Park the vehicle in a safe place and rmly apply the parking brake. 2 Let 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.

3 Switch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked. 4 Push and hold the TPMS “Set Switch”

(left side of dash) until the TPMS warning light twice and a beep sound is heard once.

in the instrument cluster ashes

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.

Seats and Headrests

FR O N T SE AT S Headrests

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.

REAR SEATS

Folding rear seatbacks down:

4-door sedan

1 Check that rear seats are clear

of objects.

2 Open the trunk and pull the left

and/or right side remote handle lever(s).

3 Open a rear door and fold the

seatback forward.

NOTE: Left rear seat release is shown.

5‐door hatchback

Push the button to fold down the seatback.

NOTE: For tall drivers and f ront 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.

Returning rear seats to upright position:

1 Install the headrest (if removed).

2 Raise seatbacks until they lock into position.

3 Pull on the top of the seatbacks to make sure they are locked. 4 Check that all seat belts are routed properly for passenger use.
