Mazda 3 hatchback 2021 User Manual
The Mazda 3 Hatchback is a small car that can be driven in a fast and flexible way. With its stylish look, engaging performance, and high-end features, the 2021 Mazda 3 Hatchback builds on the success of its predecessors.
Mazda’s “Kodo” design theory can be seen in both the sedan and the hatchback versions of the 2021 Mazda 3. It has smooth lines, a big grille in front, and a sense of movement. The hatchback body style makes the car look more active and sporty, and the rear door makes it easy to get to the cargo area. The 2021 Mazda 3 Hatchback usually has a choice of engines under the hood. The base engine is usually a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, while better trims may have a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that is more powerful. Both engines are known for how quickly they give power and how little fuel they use. Most of the time, the Mazda 3 Hatchback has front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is often a choice for better traction and handling.
The Mazda 3 Hatchback has a smooth and well-made interior. High-quality materials and finishes give it a high-end feel. The seats are nice and have good backs, and the whole car is set up to make driving easier. Usually, the infotainment system has a central screen that can be managed by a rotary dial. This makes for a simple and easy-to-use interface. The 2021 Mazda 3 Hatchback also has a number of advanced driver-assistance and safety systems. Some of these features are adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot tracking, and automatic emergency braking. Mazda puts a lot of stress on safety and has safety features built into all of its cars.

Do not use the seat warmer with anything having high moisture-retention ability such as a blanket or cushion on the seat:

Do not use the seat warmer even when taking a short nap in the vehicle:
The seat may be heated excessively and cause a low-temperature burn.
Do not place heavy objects with sharp projections on the seat, or insert needles or pins into it:
This could cause the seat to become excessively heated and result in injury from a minor burn.
CAUTION:
Do not use organic solvents to clean the seat. It may damage the seat surface and the heater.

Seat Belt Precautions
Seat belts help to decrease the possibility of severe injury during accidents and sudden stops. Mazda recommends that the driver and all passengers always wear seat belts.
(Mexico)
All the seats have lap/shoulder belts. These belts have retractors with inertia locks that keep them out of the way when not in use. The locks allow the belts to remain comfortable on users, but they will lock in position during a collision.
(Except Mexico)
All of the seat belt retractors are designed to keep the lap/shoulder belts out of the way when not in use. The driver’s seat belt has no provisions for child-restraint systems and has only an emergency locking mode. The driver may wear it comfortably, and it will lock during a collision. However, the front passenger’s seat and all rear lap/shoulder belt retractors operate in two modes: emergency locking mode, and for child-restraint systems, automatic locking mode. While we recommend you put all children in the rear seats, if you must use the front passenger seat for a child, slide the front passenger seat as far back as possible and make sure any child-restraint system is secured properly.
WARNING:
Always wear your seat belt and make sure all occupants are properly restrained:
Not wearing a seat belt is extremely dangerous. During a collision, occupants not wearing seat belts could hit someone or things inside the vehicle or even be thrown out of the vehicle. They could be seriously injured or even killed. In the same collision, occupants wearing seat belts would be much safer.
Do not wear twisted seat belts:
Twisted seat belts are dangerous. In a collision, the full width of the belt is not available to absorb the impact. This puts more force on the bones beneath the belt, which could cause serious injury or death. So, if your seat belt is twisted, you must straighten the seat belt to remove any twists and to allow the full width of the belt to be used.
Never use one seat belt on more than one person at a time:
Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat belt used in this way cannot spread the impact force properly and the two passengers could be crushed together and seriously injured or even killed. Never use one belt for more than one person at a time and always operate the vehicle with each occupant properly restrained.
