Mazda 3 Sedan 2020 User Manual

The Mazda 3 Sedan is a small car that has become famous because it looks good, drives well, and has high-end features. The 2020 Mazda 3 Sedan was the first of a new version of the car. It had a lot of updates and improvements over the model it replaced.
Mazda’s newest design style, called “Kodo,” is used on the 2020 Mazda 3 Sedan. It has smooth lines, a bold front face, and a sense of motion. People often say that the outside looks high-end and polished, which sets it apart from other cars in its class.
Mazda’s Skyactiv-Vehicle Architecture, which improves the car’s general performance, handling, and fuel economy, is one of the most noticeable changes to the 2020 Mazda 3 Sedan. It makes the chassis stronger and more rigid, which helps make the car easier to drive and more comfortable to ride in.

Most of the time, the 2020 Mazda 3 Sedan has a choice of engines under the hood. The base engine is usually a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, but 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 Sedan comes with front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is often a choice for better traction and handling.
The Mazda 3 Sedan has a well-made interior that is designed with the driver in mind. The high standard of materials and finishes gives the cabin a high-end feel. The seats are nice and supportive, and the layout of the car as a whole is well thought out and easy to use. The infotainment system is usually handled by a central display and a rotary dial controller. It has an easy-to-use interface and can be connected to a smartphone to make it easier to stay in touch.
There are also a number of improved safety features and driver-assist technologies in the 2020 Mazda 3 Sedan. Features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot tracking, and automatic emergency braking may be among these. Mazda has put a lot of work into making safety a top priority and offering a wide range of safety features.

Seats

CAUTION:

1. When operating a seat, be careful not to put your hands or fingers near the moving parts of the seat or on the side trim to prevent injury.
2. When moving the seats, make sure there is no cargo in the surrounding area. If the cargo gets caught it could damage the cargo.
3. (Manual Seat)
   When moving the seats forward and rearward or returning a rear-reclined seatback to its upright position, make sure you hold onto the seatback with your hand while operating. If the seatback is not held, the seat will move suddenly and could cause injury.
4. When inserting your hand under the seat to clean the cabin or pick up something you dropped under the seat, be careful not to hurt yourself. If you contact the moving parts and surrounding parts around the seat rail, seat frame, and the bottom of the seat, it could result in injury.

NOTE:

1. When returning a rear seat to its original position, place the seat belt in its normal position. Verify that the seat belt pulls out and retracts.
2. (Power Seat)
   The seat-bottom power adjustment is operated by motors. Avoid extended operation because excessive use can damage the motors.
3. To prevent the battery from running down, avoid using the power adjustment when the engine is stopped. The adjuster uses a large amount of electrical power.
4. Do not use the switch to make more than one adjustment at a time.

WARNING:
Never adjust the steering wheel while the vehicle is moving:
Adjusting the steering wheel while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. Moving it can very easily cause the driver to abruptly turn to the left or right. This can lead to loss of control or an accident.

After adjusting the steering wheel position, make sure it is securely locked by trying to move it up and down:
Driving with the steering wheel not securely locked in position is dangerous. If the steering wheel moves unexpectedly while driving, you could lose control of the steering resulting in an accident.
Lower the lever, move the steering wheel to the lowest position, and then push it down and all the way back.

How to move a driver’s seat to its default position

2. Adjust the steering wheel height so that the gauges can be viewed easily.
3. Raise the lever to securely lock the steering wheel.
