Operating Tips for iPod
This unit supports playback of music fi les
recorded to an iPod.

registered in the U.S. and other
countries.
The iPod may not be compatible
depending on the model or OS version. In
this case, an error message is displayed.
CAUTION
Remove the iPod when it is not in
use. Because the iPod is not designed
to withstand excessive changes
in temperature inside the cabin, it
could be damaged or the battery
may deteriorate due to the excessive
temperature or humidity inside the
cabin if it is left in the vehicle.
If data in the iPod is lost while it is
connected to the unit, Mazda cannot
guarantee recovery of any lost data.
If the iPod battery is deteriorated, the
iPod may not recharge and playback
may not be possible when it is
connected to the unit. Replace the
iPod battery immediately.

connecting lead when opening/
closing the centre console.
