Preset channel tuning

The 6 preset channels can be used to store 

6 AM and 12 FM stations.

1.  To set a channel first select AM, FM1, 

or FM2. Tune to the desired station.

2.  Press a channel preset button for 

about 2 seconds until a beep is heard. 

The preset channel number or station 

frequency will be displayed. The 

station is now held in the memory.

3.  Repeat this operation for the other 

stations and bands you want to store. 

To tune one in the memory, select AM, 

FM1, or FM2 and then press its channel 

preset button. The station frequency or 

the channel number will be displayed.

Auto memory tuning

This is especially useful when driving in 

an area where the local stations are not 

known.

Press and hold the auto memory button 

(

) for about 2 seconds until a beep 

is heard; the system will automatically 

scan and temporarily store up to 6 stations 

with the strongest frequencies in each 

selected band in that area.

After scanning is completed, the station 

with the strongest frequency will be tuned 

and its frequency displayed. Press and 

release the auto memory button (

) 

to recall stations from the auto-stored 

stations. One stored station will be 

selected each time and its frequency and 

channel number will be displayed.

NOTE

If no stations can be tuned after scanning 

operations, “A” will be displayed.

 How to use Auxiliary jack/USB 

port

Audio can be heard from the vehicle's 

speakers by connecting a commercially-

available portable audio unit to the 

auxiliary jack.

Use a commercially-available, non-

impedance (3.5 ) stereo mini plug cable. 

Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer for 

details.

In addition, audio can be played from the 

vehicle audio device by connecting a USB 

device to the USB port.

Refer to AUX/USB mode on page 

5-57.
