Mazda CX-3 2021 User Manual
I’m sorry if I caused any misunderstanding, but I don’t know any specifics about the 2021 Mazda CX-3 model as of September 2021, which is when my knowledge ends. But I can give you a general idea of the Mazda CX-3 based on what we know about it up to 2021.
The Mazda CX-3 is a subcompact crossover SUV that combines style, maneuverability, and fuel economy. It is made to be fast and fun to drive while still being useful in cities.
The CX-3 is designed with Mazda’s signature “Kodo” style, which is made up of moving lines, a big front grille, and unique body curves. It looks sleek and sporty, which makes it stand out in its class.
The CX-3 usually comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood. This engine has enough power for daily driving, and one of the best things about the CX-3 is how well it uses gas. The CX-3 is quick and fast because it is made from lightweight materials and handles well.
The interior of the CX-3 is well-designed and made with the driver in mind. The materials used are of good quality, and both the driver and guests will find the seats comfortable and supportive. Even though the CX-3 is small, it tries to make the most of the room it has and has good cargo space.
In terms of tech and features, the CX-3 has Mazda’s infotainment system, which is usually handled by a central screen and a rotary dial. Depending on the trim level, the system gives you access to tools like Bluetooth connectivity, smartphone integration, and, if you want it, navigation. The CX-3 is designed to make the user experience easy and natural.
In terms of safety, the CX-3 usually has advanced safety features like blind-spot tracking, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rearview camera. Its goal is to offer a wide range of safety and driver-assistance tools 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.
NOTE:
- The pre-tensioner system may not operate depending on the type of collision. For details, refer to the SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria.
- Some smoke (non-toxic gas) will be released when the airbags and pre-tensioners deploy. This does not indicate a fire. This gas normally has no effect on occupants, however, those with sensitive skin may experience light skin irritation. If residue from the deployment of the airbags or the front pre tensioner system gets on the skin or in the eyes, wash it off as soon as possible.
Seat Belt Extender
If your seat belt is not long enough, even when fully extended, a seat belt extender may be available to you at no charge from your Authorized Mazda Dealer.
This extender will be only for you and for the particular vehicle and seat. Even if it plugs into other seat belts, it may not hold in the critical moment of a crash.
When ordering an extender, only order one that provides the necessary additional length to fasten the seat belt properly. Please contact your Authorized Mazda Dealer for more information.
WARNING:
Do not use a seat belt extender unless it is necessary:
Using a seat belt extender when not necessary is dangerous. The seat belt will be too long and not fit properly. In an accident, the seat belt will not provide adequate protection and you could be seriously injured. Only use the extender when it is required to fasten the seat belt properly.
Do not use an improper extender:
Using a seat belt extender that is for another person or a different vehicle or seat is dangerous. The seat belt will not provide adequate protection and the user could be seriously injured in an accident. Only use the extender provided for you and for the particular vehicle and seat. NEVER use the extender in a different vehicle or seat. If you sell your Mazda, do not leave your seat belt extender in the vehicle. It could be used accidentally by the new owner of the vehicle. After removing the seat belt extender, discard it. Never use the seat belt extender in any other vehicle you may own in the future.
Do not use an extender that is too long:
Using an extender that is too long is dangerous. The seat belt will not fit properly. In an accident, the seat belt will not provide adequate protection and you could be seriously injured. Do not use the extender or choose one shorter in length if the distance between the extender’s buckle and the center of the user’s body is less than 15 cm (6 in).
Do not leave a seat belt extender connected to the buckle:
Leaving a seat belt extender connected to the buckle without using the seat belt is dangerous. When the seat belt extender is connected to the driver’s seat belt buckle (or front passenger’s seat belt buckle), the SRS driver’s (or front passenger’s) air bag system will determine that the driver (or front passenger) is wearing the seat belt even if the driver (or front passenger) is not wearing it. This condition could cause the driver’s (or front passenger’s) air bag to not activate correctly and result in death or serious injury in the event of a collision. Always wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender.
Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child-restraint system on the front or rear passenger seat:
Using a seat belt extender to fasten a child-restraint system on any seat is dangerous. Always follow the child-restraint system manufacturer’s installation instructions and never use a seat belt extender.
NOTE
When not in use, remove the seat belt extender and store it in the vehicle. If the seat belt extender is left connected, the seat belt extender might get damaged as it will not retract with the rest of the seat belt and can easily fall out of the door when not in use and be damaged. In addition, the seat belt warning light will not illuminate and function properly.
Child-Restraint Precautions
Mazda strongly urges the use of child-restraint systems for children small enough to use them.
You are required by law to use a child-restraint system for children in the U.S. and Canada. Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements regarding the safety of children riding in your vehicle. Whatever child-restraint system you consider, please pick the appropriate one for the age and size of the child, obey the law, and follow the instructions that come with the individual child-restraint system.
A child who has outgrown child-restraint systems should sit in the rear and use seat belts, both lap, and shoulder. If the shoulder belt crosses the neck or face, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle in the outboard seats, and towards the buckle on the right if the child is seated on the center seat. Statistics confirm that the rear seat is the best place for all children up to 12 years of age, and more so with a supplemental restraint system (airbags). A rear-facing child-restraint system should NEVER be used on the front seat with the airbag system activated. The front passenger seat is also the least preferred seat for other child-restraint systems.
(With Front Passenger Occupant Classification System)
To reduce the chance of injuries caused by the deployment of the front passenger airbag, the front passenger occupant classification sensor works as a part of the supplemental restraint system. This system deactivates the front passenger front and side airbags and also the front passenger seat belt pre-tensioner system when the front passenger airbag deactivation indicator light illuminates.
When an infant or small child sits on the front passenger seat, the system shuts off the front passenger front and side airbags and seat belt pre-tensioner system, so make sure the front passenger airbag deactivation indicator light illuminates. Even if the front passenger airbag is shut off, Mazda strongly recommends that children be properly restrained and child-restraint systems of all kinds are properly secured on the rear seats which are the best place for children.
