1 Warnings and Safety information

The navigation system guides you to your destination using the GNSS (GPS +

GLONASS) receiver. The navigation system does not transmit your GNSS (GPS +

GLONASS) position and you cannot be tracked.

It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so.

If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate the

navigation system before you start your journey. Plan the route before

your departure and stop if you need to change the route.

Drive the vehicle according to the road signs and the road shape. If you deviate from

the recommended route, the navigation system changes the instructions accordingly.

For more information, consult the End-User Terms (page 90).

* Only vehicles that support the wireless connection for Apple CarPlay™ support

GLONASS.

2 Getting started

2.1 Before using the navigation system

To use the navigation system, the SD card containing the map information needs to

be inserted in the SD card slot.

When inserting the SD card, never move the slider on the side of the SD card to the

LOCK position. If the slider is set to LOCK, the SD card cannot be read and the

navigation system will not operate.

This SD card is valid for use in only one vehicle. Never use it in another vehicle. If

theSDcardisusedrstinonevehicleandtheninanother,thenavigationsystem

for either one of the vehicles may become inoperable.

SD card/map updates

MapanddatastoredontheSDcardcanonlybemodiedusingthespecialMazda

Toolbox application. All details concerning the Mazda Toolbox application and

the method for updating the maps can be found on your local Mazda website. We

strongly recommend that you make a backup copy of the SD card data using the

Mazda Toolbox application before starting the map updating process. If a problem

occurs while updating the SD card update, it could result in the loss of all the

content on the card (such as map data, software, additional services).

The only way to restore lost data is to use the Mazda Toolbox application and the

copy of the SD card made beforehand.

2.4.3.3 Lane information and Signposts

When navigating on multilane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane

in order to follow the recommended route. If lane information is available in

the map data, the navigation system displays the lanes and their directions using

small arrows at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the lanes and

direction you need to take.

Lane guidance is provided constantly if there is map information. Signposts are

displayed at the top of the map. The color and style of the signposts are similar

to the real ones you see above road or by the roadside. They show the available

destinations and the number of the road the lane leads to.

When navigating a route, only the signpost that points to the lane(s) to be taken is

displayed in bright colors; all others are darker. All signposts and lane guidance

arrows are displayed in vivid colors while driving (when there is no recommended

route).

If you want to hide the currently displayed signposts, touch anywhere and the

normal Map screen returns until new signpost information is received.

needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. The

optimum driving lane is indicated by an arrow, and road signs are displayed as

additional information at the top of the screen.

2.4.3.5 Highway/Freeway exit services

You may need a gasoline station or a restaurant during your journey. This feature

displays a new button on the map when you are driving on highways/freeways.

There are two types of settings for displaying the next expressway exit; one which

constantly displays the next expressway exit while traveling on an expressway, or

the other which displays the next expressway exit only when the menu panel is

open.

You can change the settings in Visual Guidance settings (page 87).
