Mazda CX-3 2019 User Manual
The Mazda CX-3 is a crossover SUV with a small size that came out in 2016. Some changes and improvements were made for the 2019 model year to make it more appealing in the subcompact SUV market.
In terms of form, the CX-3 uses Mazda’s signature “Kodo” style, which focuses on lines that are smooth and strong. It has a bold front grille, sculpted body parts, and unique LED headlights and taillights that give it a sporty and athletic look. The style of the CX-3 makes it stand out from other cars on the road.
The 2019 CX-3 usually had a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood. This engine had enough power for daily drive, and one of the best things about the CX-3 was how well it used gas. The CX-3 was fun to drive in a variety of situations because it was easy to control and quick.
The CX-3 had a well-made and roomy cabin. The materials used were of good quality, and the seats gave both the driver and the guests support and comfort. Even though the CX-3 was small, it tried to make the most of the room it had and had good cargo space.
In terms of tech and features, the 2019 CX-3 had Mazda’s infotainment system, which is usually handled by a central screen and a rotary dial. Depending on the trim level, the system let you use tools like Bluetooth connectivity, smartphone integration, and navigation if it was available. The CX-3 was made to be easy for people to use and understand.
The CX-3 usually came with high-tech safety features like blind-spot tracking, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rearview camera. Its goal was to offer a wide range of safety and driver-assistance technologies to make passengers safer and give them more peace of mind.
How to Use This Manual
We want to help you get the most driving pleasure from your vehicle. Your owner’s manual, when read from cover to cover, can do that in many ways.
Illustrations complement the words of the manual to best explain how to enjoy your Mazda. By reading your manual, you can find out about the features, important safety information, and driving under various road conditions. The symbol below in this manual means “Do not do this” or “Do not let this happen”.
Index: A good place to start is the Index, an alphabetical listing of all information in your manual. You’ll find several WARNINGs, CAUTIONs, and NOTEs in the manual.
WARNING:
A WARNING indicates a situation in which serious injury or death could result if the warning is ignored.
CAUTION:
A CAUTION indicates a situation in which bodily injury or damage to your vehicle, or both, could result if the caution is ignored.
NOTE
A NOTE provides information and sometimes suggests how to make better use of your vehicle.
The following symbol, located on some parts of the vehicle, indicates that this manual contains information related to the part.
Please refer to the manual for a detailed explanation.
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.
Always remove the child-restraint system from the rear seat before operating the remote handle for the rear seat:
Operating the remote handle while a rear-facing child-restraint system is in the rear seat is dangerous. It could cause injury to a child seated in the child-restraint system when the seatback suddenly flips forward.
CAUTION:
A seat belt or child-restraint system can become very hot in a closed vehicle during warm weather. To avoid burning yourself or a child, check them before you or your child touches them.
NOTE
Your Mazda is equipped with ISOFIX/LATCH*1 lower anchors for the attachment of specially designed ISOFIX/LATCH*1 child-restraint systems on the rear seats. When using these anchors to secure a child-restraint system, refer to “Using ISOFIX Lower Anchor (Mexico)/Using LATCH Lower Anchor (Except Mexico)”.
Child-Restraint System Installation
NOTE
When purchasing, ask the manufacturer of the child-restraint system which type of child-restraint system is appropriate for your child and vehicle.
(Mexico)
Child-restraint systems are classified into the following 5 groups according to the UN-R 44 regulation.
(Except Mexico)
Please comply with the legal regulations concerning the use of child-restraint systems in your country.
Child-Restraint System Types
In this owner’s manual, an explanation of child-restraint systems is provided for the following three types of popular child-restraint systems: infant seat, child seat, and booster seat.
NOTE:
- The installation position is determined by the type of child-restraint system. Always read the manufacturer’s instructions and this owner’s manual carefully.
- Due to variations in the design of child-restraint systems, vehicle seats and seat belts, all child-restraint systems may not fit all seating positions. Before purchasing a child-restraint system, it should be tested in the specific vehicle seating position (or positions) where it is intended to be used. If a previously purchased child-restraint system does not fit, you may need to purchase a different one that will.
Child-Restraint System Suitability for Various Seat Positions Table
(Mexico)
Provided information in the table shows your child-restraint system’s suitability for various seating positions. For installation suitability of other manufacturer child-restraint systems, carefully consult the manufacturer’s instructions which accompany the child-restraint system.
When installing a child-restraint system, the following points must be observed:
- Always remove the head restraint before installing a child-restraint system. However, when installing a backless booster seat, always install the vehicle head restraint to the seat where the backless booster seat is installed. In addition, always use a tether strap and attach it securely. Refer to Head Restraints on.
- When installing a child-restraint system to the front passenger seat, adjust the seat slide position as far back as possible. Adjust the seat bottom to the highest position so that the seat belt can securely fasten the child-restraint system.
Refer to Adjusting the Front Passenger’s Seat on. - When it is difficult to install a child-restraint system to the front passenger seat, or the seat belt cannot be secured to the child-restraint system, perform the following operations to adjust the seat holding the child-restraint system so that the seat belt can be secured completely to it.
- Move the seat forward or back.
- Move the seatback forward or back.
- When installing a child-restraint system to the rear seat, adjust the front seat position so that the front seat does not contact the child-restraint system.
Refer to Adjusting the Driver’s Seat on.
Refer to Adjusting the Front Passenger’s Seat on. - When installing a child-restraint system came equipped with a tether, remove the head restraint.
Refer to Head Restraints on. - An i-Size child-restraint system refers to a child-restraint system which has acquired
i- Size category certification for the UN-R 129 regulation.
When installing a child-restraint system to the rear seat, refer to the child-restraint system manufacturer’s instructions and the Using ISOFIX Lower Anchor.
(Except Mexico)
- Regarding child-restraint systems which can be installed to your Mazda, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
- A child-restraint system with a support leg cannot be installed on the rear center seat position.
- Please comply with the legal regulations concerning the use of child-restraint systems in your country.
- For the CRS which do not carry the ISO/XX size class identification (A to G), for the applicable mass group, the child seat manufacturer shall indicate the vehicle-specific LATCH child-restraint systems recommended for each position.
Installing Child-Restraint Systems
Accident statistics reveal that a child is safer in the rear seat. The front passenger’s seat is clearly the worst choice for any child under 12, and with rear-facing child-restraint systems, it is clearly unsafe due to air bags.
NOTE
Even if your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classification sensor, which automatically deactivates the front passenger airbag, a rear seat is the safest place for a child of any age or size. Some child-restraint systems now come with tethers and therefore must be installed on the seats that take tethers to be effective. In your Mazda, tethered child-restraint systems can only be accommodated in the three positions on the rear seat. Some child-restraint systems also employ specially designed ISOFIX/LATCH*1 attachments; refer to “Using ISOFIX Lower Anchor (Mexico)/Using LATCH Lower Anchor (Except Mexico)”.
