2	This indicator light turns on 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 sensor has determined that an adult is not sitting in the front passenger seat.

NOTE: If a smaller adult sits on the front passenger seat, the sensors might detect the adult as

being a child depending on the person’s physique and may deactivate the front passenger’s front/side 2 airbags and seat belt pretensioner. 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: Refer to your Owner’s Manual for additional details about “Personalization Features”.

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

3doors/liftgate. To lock and unlock the doors, the corresponding transmitter button must be pushed.

Starting The Engine	www.MazdaUSA.com

STARTING THE ENGINE WITH

ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)

The CX-3 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/STOP ENGINE

Button Indicator Light

• 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 efficient 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	Transmitter
	converter faster to reduce emissions and allows
	Mazda to use an exhaust header on the engine
	(to improve efficiency and horsepower).

•Shut the engine OFF by making sure the vehicle in park (A/T) and setting the parking brake, 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.

NOTE: You can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.

Emergency Engine Stop

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

NOTE: The engine may not start if the key cannot be detected. The Key Indicator Light may flash RED or “Key not detected” may be displayed if the key is placed in the cup holder.

If the START/STOP ENGINE button indicator light flashes AMBER, this could indicate a problem with the engine starting system. You may not be able to start

the engine or switch the ignition to ACC or ON. Have your vehicle inspected at an 4 Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

Tires

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)

For your safety, the CX-3 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 (pp. 31-34) 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 inflate them to the proper pressure. Properly inflated 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 firmly apply the parking brake.

2Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specified 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 flashes 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.

	Seats	www.MazdaUSA.com
	FOLDING REAR SEATS	Unlocked
	Push the button to fold down the seatback.
	NOTE: Left rear seat release is shown.

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 push 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:

1Install the headrest (if removed).

2Raise seatbacks until they lock into position.

3Pull on the top of the seatbacks to make sure they are locked.

4Check that all seat belts are routed properly for passenger use.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

No special break-in is necessary, but a few precautions in the first 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.
