TURBOCHARGER TIPS (MAZDASPEED3 only)

After driving at freeway speeds or up a long hill, idle engine at least 30

seconds in order to cool turbocharger. Avoid shutting the engine off abruptly

after a hard or long drive as turbocharger damage may result.

• Do NOT race or over-rev ANY engine when starting, particularly a

turbocharged engine.

• Do NOT add aftermarket devices to alter the engine’s ignition, fuel

delivery, or turbo boost pressure, as this may lead to serious engine

damage and void your warranty.

SPORT A/T MANUAL SHIFT MODE

The Sport A/T 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 Use Manual Shift Mode:

• Shift the lever from D to M.

NOTE:

Changing to manual mode

can be done while driving the vehicle.

To Shift Up To A Higher Gear:

• Tap shift lever back (+) once.

To Shift Down To A Lower Gear:

• Tap shift lever forward (-) once.

ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS)

The adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) automatically turns the headlight

beam to the right or left in conjunction with the direction of the steering

wheel. The AFS improves the direction of headlight illumination while

cornering, and only works when the vehicle is moving.

PORTABLE AUDIO PLAYER INTEGRATION USING THE AUX JACK

Your vehicle is equipped with an AUX or

auxiliary jack that will allow you to play your

portable audio player through the vehicle’s

audio system. Learn the system when parked

and do not let it distract you while driving.

NOTE:

You will need an audio cable with an 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) mini stereo plug

(available as a Genuine Mazda accessory) to connect your portable audio player

into the aux jack.

Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information.

1 Locate the AUX jack inside the center console.

2 Plug 1/8 inch mini stereo plug into the portable audio player and into

the AUX jack. Turn portable audio player on.

3 Turn the vehicle audio system on.

4 Push the AUX button on the audio face or the MODE

button on the steering wheel controls.

5 Use the portable audio player controls to play music.

IMPORTANT:

Set the volume level on your portable audio player to the highest

level before distortion starts, then adjust the volume on the audio system.

6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION

• Push the clutch pedal completely down to

start the engine and to shift gears.

• To place the transmission in Reverse, place

shifter in the neutral position, push the shifter

knob down, move to the left and push forward.

Without AFS

With AFS

Push AFS OFF to turn system off or on. When off, AFS OFF

illuminates in the instrument panel.

NOTE:

• With AFS, it is normal to see the headlights move and hear the sound of the

headlight leveling motors at the front of the vehicle when the ignition is ON.

• The system will need to be reset if the vehicle battery has been disconnected

or the system fuse has been replaced. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for

easy to follow resetting instructions.

Lower

Gear

Higher

Gear

The transmission will automatically adjust how and when it 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.
