2017 MAZDA MODEL CX-5 clutch

To release AUTOHOLD and start
driving the vehicle
If you do any of the following actions to
resume driving the vehicle, the brakes
release automatically and the
AUTOHOLD active indicator light turns
off.
•(Manual transaxle vehicle)
You start to release the clutch pedal with
the shift lever shifted to a position other
than the neutral position
•(Automatic transaxle vehicle)
•The accelerator pedal is depressed.
•The vehicle tilts rearward or the
selector lever is shifted to the R
position on level ground.
NOTE
•If the electric parking brake (EPB)
switch is pulled while the AUTOHOLD
is operating, the AUTOHOLD is
released and the electric parking brake
(EPB) is applied. In addition, if the
electric parking brake (EPB) is released
under this condition, the AUTOHOLD
operates to hold the brakes.
•Under the following conditions, the
electric parking brake (EPB) is
automatically applied and the
AUTOHOLD is released. The
AUTOHOLD is re-enabled when the
conditions before the AUTOHOLD is
released are restored.
•The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
•The driver’s door is opened.
•When about ten minutes or longer have
passed since the AUTOHOLD operation
started, the electric parking brake
(EPB) is automatically applied. Because
the AUTOHOLD is restored when
releasing the electric parking brake
(EPB), the hold on the brakes by
AUTOHOLD function resumes.
•(Manual transaxle vehicle)
When starting to drive the vehicle
forward or in reverse on a down slope,
depress the clutch pedal and shift the
shift lever to the appropriate position for
driving in the desired direction, and then
depress the accelerator pedal to release
the AUTOHOLD.
▼AUTOHOLD System is Turned Off

Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
HLA is a function which assists the driver
in accelerating from a stop while on a
slope. When the driver releases the brake
pedal and depresses the accelerator pedal
while on a slope, the function prevents the
vehicle from rolling. The braking force is
maintained automatically after the brake
pedal is released on a steep grade.
For vehicles with a manual transaxle,
HLA operates on a downward slope when
the shift lever is in the reverse (R)
position, and on an upward slope when the
shift lever is in a position other than the
reverse (R) position.
For vehicles with an automatic transaxle,
HLA operates on a downward slope when
the selector lever is in the reverse (R)
position, and on an upward slope when the
selector lever is in a forward gear.
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on HLA:
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 confirm the safety around the
vehicle before starting to drive the vehicle.
NOTE
•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.
•HLA does not operate if the parking
brake is applied, the vehicle has not
stopped completely, or the clutch pedal
is released.
•While HLA is operating, the brake pedal
may feel stiff and vibrate, however, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
•HLA does not operate while the
TCS/DSC indicator li ght is illuminated.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on
page 4-42.
•HLA does not turn off even if the TCS
OFF switch is pressed to turn off the
TCS.
•(Automatic Transaxle)
Although the HLA does not operate
during idling stop, the vehicle roll
prevention function operates to prevent
vehicle roll.
