Mazda CX-3: Driving Tips / Hazardous Driving
WARNING
Be extremely careful if it is necessary to
downshift on slippery surfaces:
Downshifting into lower gear while driving
on slippery surfaces is dangerous. The
sudden change in tire speed could cause
the tires to skid. This could lead to loss of
vehicle control and an accident.
When driving on ice or in water, snow,
mud, sand, or similar hazards:
- Be cautious and allow extra distance for
braking.
- Avoid sudden braking and sudden
maneuvering.
- Do not pump the brakes. Continue to
press down on the brake pedal.
Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS).
- If you get stuck, select a lower gear and
accelerate slowly. Do not spin the front
wheels.
- For more traction in starting on slippery
surfaces such as ice or packed snow, use
sand, rock salt, chains, carpeting, or
other nonslip material under the front
wheels.
NOTE
Use snow chains only on the front wheels.
How you operate your Mazda determines
how far it will travel on a tank of fuel. Use
these suggestions to help save fuel and
reduce CO2.
Avoid long warm-ups...
We recommend the use of Genuine Mazda floor mats.
WARNING
Make sure the floor mats are hooked on the
retention pins to prevent them from
bunching up under the foot pedals:
Using a floor mat that is not secured is
dangerous as it will interfere with the
accelerator and brake pedal operation,
which could result in an accident...

The fuel gauge shows approximately how
much fuel is remaining in the tank when
the ignition is switched ON. We
recommend keeping the tank over 1/4 full.

If the low fuel warning light illuminates or
the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as
possible.
If inconsistency in engine performance or
stalling occurs due to low fuel level
conditions, refuel the vehicle as soon as possible and add at least 10 L (2.7 US
gal,
2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.
