Interior Features  
Climate Control System  
The refrigerant specifications are  
indicated on a label attached to the  
inside of the engine compartment. If the  
wrong type of refrigerant is used, it  
could result in a serious malfunction of  
the air conditioner. Consult a  
professional, government certified  
repairer for the inspection or repair  
because a special device is required for  
the air conditioner maintenance.  
For details, consult an Authorized  
Mazda Dealer.  
Operating Tips  
Operate the climate control system with  
the engine running.  
To prevent the battery from being  
discharged, do not leave the fan control  
dial on for a long period of time with the  
ignition switched ON when the engine is  
not running.  
Clear all obstructions such as leaves,  
snow and ice from the hood and the air  
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the  
system efficiency.  
Label  
Use the climate control system to defog  
the windows and dehumidify the air.  
The recirculate mode should be used  
when driving through tunnels or while  
in a traffic jam, or when you would like  
to shut off outside air for quick cooling  
of the interior.  
Use the outside air position for  
ventilation or windshield defrosting.  
If the vehicle has been parked in direct  
sunlight during hot weather, open the  
windows to let warm air escape, then  
run the climate control system.  
Run the air conditioner about 10  
minutes at least once a month to keep  
internal parts lubricated.  
Have the air conditioner checked before  
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant  
may make the air conditioner less  
efficient.

Before Using the Audio System  
AUX/USB mode  
WARNING  
Audio can be heard from the vehicle's  
speakers by connecting a  
commercially-available portable audio  
unit to the auxiliary jack.  
A commercially-available, non-impedance  
(3.5 ) stereo mini plug cable is required.  
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer for  
details.  
In addition, audio can be played from the  
vehicle audio device by connecting a USB  
device to the USB port.  
Do not adjust the portable audio unit or a  
similar product while driving the vehicle:  
Adjusting the portable audio unit or a  
similar product while driving the vehicle is  
dangerous as it could distract your  
attention from the vehicle operation which  
could lead to a serious accident. Always  
adjust the portable audio unit or a similar  
product while the vehicle is stopped.  
CAUTION  
NOTE  
The SD card slot is for the navigation  
system. For vehicles with the navigation  
system, the SD card (Mazda genuine) with  
stored map data is inserted into the SD  
card slot and used.  
Depending on the portable audio device,  
noise may occur when the device is  
connected to the vehicle accessory socket.  
(If noise occurs, do not use the accessory  
socket.)  
Auxiliary jack  
NOTE  
This mode may not be usable depending  
on the portable audio device to be  
connected.  
Before using the auxiliary jack/USB  
port, refer to the instruction manual for  
the portable audio device.  
Use a commercially-available,  
USB port  
non-impedance (3.5 ) stereo mini plug  
for connecting the portable audio unit to  
the auxiliary jack. Before using the  
auxiliary jack, read the manufacturer's  
instructions for connecting a portable  
audio unit to the auxiliary jack.  
To prevent discharging of the battery, do  
not use the auxiliary input for long  
periods with the engine off or idling.

What is HD Radio™ Technology and  
how does it work?  
HD Radio™ Technology is the digital  
evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your  
radio product has a special receiver which  
allows it to receive digital broadcasts  
(where available) in addition to the analog  
broadcasts it already receives. Digital  
broadcasts have better sound quality than  
analog broadcasts as digital broadcasts  
provide free, crystal clear audio. For more

Bluetooth Hands-Free outline  
®
®
When a Bluetooth device (mobile phone) is connected to the vehicle's Bluetooth unit via  
radio wave transmission, a call can be made or received by pressing the talk button, pick-up  
button, or hang-up button on the audio remote control switch, or by operating the center  
display.  
®
Bluetooth audio outline  
®
When a portable audio unit equipped with the Bluetooth communication function is paired  
to the vehicle, you can listen to music stored on the paired portable audio device from the  
vehicle's speakers. It is not necessary to connect the portable audio device to the vehicle's  
external input terminal. After programming, operate the vehicle audio control panel to play/  
stop the audio.  
NOTE  
For your safety, a device can be paired only when the vehicle is parked. If the vehicle  
starts to move, the pairing procedure will end. Park the vehicle in a safe place before  
pairing.  
®
The communication range of a Bluetooth equipped device is about 10 meters (32 ft) or  
less.  
®
Basic audio operation is available using voice commands even if Bluetooth is not  
connected.  
For safety reasons, operation of the center display is disabled while the vehicle is being  
driven. However, items not displayed in gray can be operated using the commander  
switch while the vehicle is being driven.

Things You Need to Know  
WARNING  
Always adjust the audio while the vehicle is  
stopped:  
Do not adjust the audio control switches  
while driving the vehicle. Adjusting the  
audio while driving the vehicle is  
dangerous as it could distract your  
attention from the vehicle operation which  
could lead to a serious accident.  
Even if the audio control switches are  
equipped on the steering wheel, learn to  
use the switches without looking down at  
them so that you can keep your maximum  
attention on the road while driving the  
vehicle.  
Radio Reception  
▼
AM characteristics  
AM signals bend around such things as  
buildings or mountains and bounce off the  
ionosphere.  
Therefore, they can reach longer distances  
than FM signals.  
Because of this, 2 stations may sometimes  
be picked up on the same frequency at the  
same time.  
Ionosphere  
CAUTION  
For the purposes of safe driving, adjust the  
audio volume to a level that allows you to  
hear sounds outside of the vehicle  
including car horns and particularly  
emergency vehicle sirens.  
Station 1  
Station 2  
NOTE  
To prevent the battery from being  
discharged, do not leave the audio  
system on for a long period of time when  
the engine is not running.  
If a cellular phone or CB radio is used  
in or near the vehicle, it could cause  
noise to occur from the audio system,  
however, this does not indicate that the  
system has been damaged.

Appendix  
FM characteristics  
Multipath noise  
An FM broadcast range is usually about  
40―50 km (25―30 miles) from the  
source. Because of extra coding needed to  
break the sound into 2 channels, stereo FM  
has even less range than monaural  
(non-stereo) FM.  
Since FM signals can be reflected by  
obstructions, it is possible to receive both  
the direct signal and the reflected signal at  
the same time. This causes a slight delay  
in reception and may be heard as a broken  
sound or a distortion. This problem may  
also be encountered when in close

proximity to the transmitter.  
40—50km

Signals from an FM transmitter are similar  
to beams of light because they do not bend  
around corners, but they do reflect. Unlike  
AM signals, FM signals cannot travel  
beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM

Atmospheric conditions can also affect  
FM reception. High humidity will cause

provide better reception than clear days.

Interior Features  
Appendix  
Weak signal noise  
Station drift noise  
In suburban areas, broadcast signals  
become weak because of distance from the  
transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas  
is characterized by sound breakup.  
When a vehicle reaches the area of 2  
strong stations broadcasting at similar  
frequencies, the original station may be  
temporarily lost and the second station  
picked up. At this time there will be some  
noise from this disturbance.  
Station 2  
88.3 MHz  
Station 1  
88.1 MHz  
Strong signal noise  
This occurs very close to a transmitter  
tower. The broadcast signals are extremely  
strong, so the result is noise and sound  
breakup at the radio receiver.
