When Driving
Brake
WARNING
Do not rely completely on Hill Launch
Assist (HLA):
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is an auxiliary
device for accelerating from a stop
on a slope. The system only operates
for about two seconds and therefore,
relying only on the system, when
accelerating from a stop is dangerous
because the vehicle may move (roll)
unexpectedly and cause an accident.
The vehicle could roll depending on
the vehicle's load or if it is towing
something. In addition, for vehicles
with a manual transaxle, the vehicle
could still roll depending on how the
clutch pedal or the accelerator pedal is
operated.
Always confi rm the safety around the
vehicle before starting to drive the
vehicle.
NOTE
 


y Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not
operate on a gentle slope. In addition,
the gradient of the slope on which the
system will operate changes depending
on the vehicle's load.
 


y Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not
operate if the parking brake is applied,
the vehicle has not stopped completely,
or the clutch pedal is released.
 


y While Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is
operating, the brake pedal may feel
stiff and vibrate, however, this does not
indicate a malfunction.
 


y Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not
operate while the TCS/DSC indicator
light is illuminated.
  Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on
page 4-21 .




y Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not
turn off even if the DSC OFF switch is
pressed to turn off the TCS/DSC.

When Driving
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver by monitoring
blind spots on both sides of the vehicle to the rear in certain situations such as when
changing lanes on roads and freeways or reversing the vehicle from a parking garage.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System consists of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
and Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA).
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system. Always look over
your shoulder before changing lanes or reversing the vehicle from a parking garage:
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system can assist the driver in confi rming the safety of
the surroundings but is not a complete substitute. The driver is responsible for assuring
lane changes and other maneuvers. Always pay attention to the direction in which the
vehicle is traveling and the vehicle's surroundings.
NOTE
 


y The detectability of the radar sensors has its limitations. The Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) System may not operate properly under the following conditions:
 


y Ice, snow, or soil adheres to the rear bumper surface around the radar sensors.



y During adverse weather conditions such as rain or snow, or under conditions where
water is sprayed.
 


y The rear bumper area around the radar sensors is blocked by foreign material (such as
stickers or a bicycle carrier).
 


y The radar sensors do not detect human, animal, shopping cart, bicycle, or static objects
such as fences.
 


y The radar sensors may not detect all types of vehicles around your vehicle, especially the
following types of vehicles:
 


y Motorcycles



y Vehicles with body shapes that radar may not refl ect such as a fl atbed trailer with no
cargo.
 


y Vehicles with lower body height such as sports cars.




y Although the system may detect objects on the road side such as parked vehicles or
guardrails and operate the warning light/beep, it does not indicate a malfunction.
 


y If the vehicle is driven on a road with less traffi c and few vehicles that the radar sensors
can detect, the system may pause (the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light
in the instrument cluster fl ashes). However, it does not indicate a malfunction.

When Driving
Rear View Monitor
Rear View Monitor *
The rear view monitor provides visual images of the rear of the vehicle when reversing.
WARNING
Always drive carefully confi rming the safety of the rear and the surrounding conditions
by looking directly with your eyes:
Reversing the vehicle by only looking at the screen is dangerous as it may cause an
accident or a collision with an object. The rear view monitor is only a visual assist device
when reversing the vehicle. The images on the screen may be diff erent from the actual
conditions.
CAUTION
 


¾ Do not use the rear view monitor under the following conditions: Using the rear view
monitor under the following conditions is dangerous and could result in injury or vehicle
damage or both.
 


¾ Icy or snow-covered roads.



¾ Tire chains or a temporary spare tire is installed.



¾ The trunk lid/liftgate is not fully closed.



¾ The vehicle is on a road incline.




¾ When the display is cold, images may course across the monitor or the screen and may be
dimmer than usual, which could cause diffi culty in confi rming the surrounding conditions
of the vehicle. Always drive carefully confi rming the safety of the rear and the surrounding
conditions by looking directly with your eyes.
 


¾ Do not apply excessive force to the camera. The camera position and angle may deviate.



¾ Do not disassemble, modify, or remove it as it may no longer be waterproof.



¾ The camera cover is made of plastic. Do not apply degreasing agents, organic solvents,
wax, or glass coating agents to the camera cover. If any are spilled on the cover, wipe off
with a soft cloth immediately.
 


¾ Do not rub the cover excessively, or polish it using an abrasive compound or a hard brush.
The cover may be damaged aff ecting the image.
NOTE




y If water, snow, or mud is stuck on the camera lens, wipe it off using a soft cloth. If it
cannot be wiped off, use a mild detergent.
 


y If the camera temperature changes rapidly (Hot to cold, cold to hot), the rear view
monitor may not operate correctly.
 


y When replacing the tires, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer. Replacing the tires could
result in deviation of the guide lines which appear on the display.
 


y If the vehicle's front, side, or rear has been involved in a collision, the alignment of
the rear view parking camera (location, installation angle) may have deviated. Always
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer to have the vehicle inspected.

Practice this while parked until you are
confi dent you can do it while driving in a
non-taxing road situation. If you are not
completely comfortable, make all calls

attention to driving.
1. Input the telephone number using the
numerical keypad.
2. Select the
icon to make the call.

Mobile 911 (U.S.A./Canada only)
If the vehicle is involved in a moderate
to severe collision, a call is made
automatically to 911 from the connected
device. The “Mobile 911” setting must be
on.
Refer to Communication Settings on page
5-110 .
CAUTION
 


¾ Mobile 911 is a secondary function
of the audio entertainment system.
Therefore, the Mobile 911 function
cannot assure that a call will always
be made to 911 in the event that the
vehicle is involved in an accident. Also,
a hands-free device must be paired
and connected. The 911 operator can
verify the vehicle's position information
using the GPS on the hands-free device
if equipped. The 911 operator can verify
the vehicle's position information.
 


¾ Though the system can be set to not call
911, doing so will defeat the purpose
of the system to immediately contact
rescue personnel to assist you after your
accident. For the safety of the driver and
all passengers, Mazda recommends that
the Mobile 911 system remain activated
so that a call will be made to 911 when
needed.
1. If the vehicle is involved in a moderate
to severe collision, notifi cation of the
call to 911 is made via audio and screen
display. To cancel the call, press the
icon or hang-up
button within 10 seconds.
2. If the
icon or
hang-up button is not pressed within 10
seconds, the call is made to 911
automatically.
