Mazda CX-5 Owners Manual: Money-Saving Suggestions
How you operate your Mazda determines how far it will travel on a tank of fuel. Use these suggestions to help save money on fuel and repairs.
• Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine runs smoothly, begin driving.
• Avoid fast starts.
• Keep the engine tuned. Follow the maintenance schedule and have an Authorized Mazda Dealer perform inspections and servicing.
• Use the air conditioner only when necessary.
• Slow down on rough roads.
• Keep the tires properly inflated.
• Do not carry unnecessary weight.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
• Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
• Keep windows closed at high speeds.
• Slow down when driving in crosswinds and headwinds.
WARNING
Never stop the engine when going down a hill: Stopping the engine when going down a hill is dangerous. This causes the loss of power steering and power brake control, and may cause damage to the drivetrain. Any loss of steering or braking control could cause an accident.
Break-In Period
No special break-in is necessary, but a few precautions in the first 1,000 km
(600 miles) may add to the performance, economy, and life of your Mazda.
• Do not race the engine.
• Do not mainta ...

ABS Wheel Speed Sensor And ABS Sensor Rotor
Purpose/Function
The ABS wheel-speed sensor and ABS sensor rotor detect the rotation condition
of each wheel and transmit this information to the DSC HU/CM.
The signal from the ABS wheel-speed sensor is the primary signal that the
DSC HU/CM uses when carrying out control.

High Clutch [Fw6 A EL, Fw6 Ax EL]
Purpose/Function
The high clutch operates in 4GR, 5GR, and 6GR and intermittently operates
the rear carrier by drive force from the turbine shaft.
For the high clutch, a centrifugal balance clutch has been adopted to prevent
clutch drag and to assure stabilized piston thrust in ...
Power Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (Power Mos Fet) [Full
Auto Air Conditioner]
Purpose
The power MOS FET controls the blower motor rotation speed.
Function
The power MOS FET controls the supply voltage to the blower motor based on
the gate voltage sent from the climate control unit, and adjusts the fan rotation
speed (airflow volume).
