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

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.

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 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.

Key

• 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 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 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.

NOTE: 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.

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.

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

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. 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 in the instrument cluster ashes

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.

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.

Seats and Headrests

FRONT SEATS

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).

REAR SEATS

Push the button to fold down the seatback.

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.

NOTE: Left rear seat release is shown.

Mazda Radar Cruise Control

MAZDA RADAR CRUISE CONTROL (MRCC) SYSTEM (if equipped)

The MRCC system maintains vehicle speed and following 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) and the

system will maintain a safe following distance without having to turn the

cruise control off.

Setting the MRCC

When the ON switch is pushed,

the vehicle speed and the distance

between vehicles while in headway

control can be set. The MRCC

indication is shown in the display of

the instrument cluster.

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.

NOTE: The radar for the MRCC is

located behind the Mazda emblem in

the grill. Keep this area clean to avoid

the system not working properly.

SMART CITY BRAKE SUPPORT (SCBS) SYSTEM (if equipped)

The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is designed to reduce

damage in the event of a collision by automatically applying the vehicle’s

braking system when the system’s laser sensor detects an imminent

collision with the vehicle ahead:

• When your vehicle speed is 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h).

• The system determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable.

• It may be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between

your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than 12.5 mph (20 km/h).

• When the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system is in the

operation range at about 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h), the brakes are applied

rmly and quickly to assist. (SCBS Automatic Brake is displayed in the Multi-

information Display)

• SCBS automatic brake is released approximately 2 seconds after the

vehicle comes to a stop.

DRIVE SELECTION (if equipped)

By selecting Sport mode, greater vehicle

response is achieved through automatic

adjustments in transmission shift control

and engine throttle control. This provides

additional quick acceleration which may be

needed to safely make maneuvers such as

lane changes, merging onto freeways, or

passing other vehicles.

Push the SPORT button to switch to SPORT

mode and the SPORT mode indicator light in the

instrument cluster turns on. Push again to turn off.

Transmission

MANUAL SHIFT MODE (if equipped)

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 Shift Up

To A Higher Gear:

• Pull the steering UP

switch (+) once or

tap the shift lever

back (+) once.

ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) CONTROL

AAS will automatically adjust how and when the transmission 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.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL KICKDOWN SWITCH*

The accelerator pedal is equipped with a kickdown

switch designed to allow optimal engine performance

while accelerating.

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”.

*Available on vehicles with automatic transmission only.

IMPORTANT: 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.

HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA)

HLA 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 pushed, 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.
