Addition Of 2nd Colour And Trim For Basic Configuration
- Second Black trim level introduced to basic configuration (similar to Black trim from Sport configuration, but without leather steering wheel, silver colored steering switches and shift patterns)
- Black trim on basic configuration (for left-hand drive vehicles in conjunction with side airbags, only)
Audio System
The new generation audio system is also introduced on Mazda2 Facelift. Since the CD player is part of the base module, this feature is now available as factory option(rather than dealer-fit option).
Revised audio steering switches
- To harmonize the functionality of the audio switches of all Mazda vehicles, the former P•SET switch has been replaced by a seek down switch (∇). The functionality has been changed slightly.
- When listening to the radio:
- Press the seek switch (Δ,∇), the radio switches to the next/previous stored station in the order that it was stored (1 - 6).
- Press the seek switch (Δ,∇) for about 2 seconds until a beep sound is heard to seek all usable stations at a higher or lower frequency whether programmed or not.
- When playing a cassette tape:
- Press the seek switch (Δ), release, and it will advance to the next selection.
- Press the seek switch (∇), release, and it will repeat the selection being played.
- When playing a CD or MD:
- Press the seek switch (Δ) to skip to the next track.
- Press the seek switch (∇) to repeat the current track.
Exterior Lighting
Headlamps
The new designed headlamps use separate lamps for main beam and dipped beam:
- projector optics and H7 55W bulbs for dipped beam
- free form reflectors and HB3 60W bulbs for main beam
Fog lamps
- The fog lamps have been re-designed. The bulb type HB4 51W has been carried over from the previous design.
- The HB4 bulbs use bayonet-type sockets. After releasing a wire clip, the HB4 bulbs can be removed like the HB3 bulbs.
Retractable key
- The retractable "Jack Knife" key has been adopted for Mazda2 Facelift.
Diesel Engine
General
The 1.4 MZ-CD Diesel engine of the Mazda2 Facelift basically has been carried over from the previous Mazda2. In order to complywith Euro 4 emission legislation the engine has been upgraded as follows:
- new injectors
- revised intake air system
- revisedEGR(ExhaustGasRecirculation) system
- revisedPCM(PowertrainControlModule)
Injectors
- The injectors have been basically carried overfrom the previous 1.4 MZ-CD Diesel engine. They are piezo-type injectors, which consist of nozzle body with nozzle needle,hydraulic servo system and piezo actuator.
- Since the Diesel engine of the Mazda2 Facelift meets Euro 4 emission regulations, it uses injectors with a different spray hole diameter. In order to distinguish between injectors for Euro 3 vehicles and injectors for Euro 4 vehicles, an injector classification code (“E3” for Euro 3 vehicles and “E4” for Euro 4 vehicles) is stamped onto the injector shaft. NOTE: Never disconnect any connectors of the piezo-type injectors (such as injectorconnectors, PCM connectors etc.) while the engine is running. If there is an open circuit at an injector, the corresponding piezo actuator may remain extended for a certain time so that the nozzle needle stays open. This would result in continuous injection and hence in engine damage.
- The injectors are numbered according to the firing order (e.g. injector No.2 is located at cylinder No.3). On the 1.4 MZ-CD engine the cylinder No.1 is located next to the transmission (French-style cylinder numbering).
Intake-air System
- In order to comply with Euro 4 emission legislation, the intake-air system of the
- 1.4 MZ-CD Diesel engine of the Mazda2 Facelift has been revised as follows:
- MAP(ManifoldAbsolutePressure) sensor has been added
- new hot film-typeMAF(MassAirFlow) sensor (instead of hot wire-type) with integratedIAT(IntakeAirTemperature) sensor
- additional IAT sensor
- ISV(IntakeShutterValve) has been introduced for upgrading the EGR system
- The operation of MAP sensor, MAF sensor, IAT sensor and the actuation of the ISV can be monitored using the Datalogger function of theWDS(WorldwideDiagnosticSystem).
Parts Location

- MAP sensor
- Hot film-type MAF sensor
- Fixed geometry turbo charger
- IAT sensor
- Intake shutter valve
Exhaust Gas Recirculation System
For meeting the Euro 4 emission regulations the exhaust gas recirculation system of the Mazda2 Facelift with 1.4 MZ-CD Diesel engine has the following new features:
- EGR valve withDC(DirectCurrent) motor and position sensor
- EGR cooler
- ISV with DC motor
EGR Valve
- For more precise exhaust gas admeasurementthe previous pneumatic EGR valve has been replaced by an electrically operated EGR valve.
- The EGR valve is located at the rear side of the engine and is connected to the exhaust manifold via an EGR duct integrated in the cylinder head.
- It uses a DC motor for actuation. A cam plate transforms the rotational movement of the motor into an axial movement of the EGR valve. AnEGRVP(EGRValvePosition) sensor is installed for monitoring the valve position.
- DC motor with EGRVP sensor
- EGR valve housing
- The position of the EGR valve is controlled by the PCM, which activates the DC motor via a duty signal.
- At low engine speed the PCM controls the DC motor with a large duty cycle, so that the EGR valve opens and exhaust gas is recirculated.
- At high engine speed the PCM controls the DC motor with a small duty cycle, so that the EGR valve closes and no exhaust gas is recirculated.
- In order to remove any carbon deposits from the EGR valve seat a cleaning mode is activated each time the ignition is switched off. Therefore, the PCM actuates the EGR valve so that it is moved from the fully open position to the fully closed position several times. This process takes approx. 30 s.
NOTE: If the engine coolant temperature is below -5°C, the EGR cleaning mode is cancelledas the EGR valve could be frozen and would not move.
