Stop Hold Control
While in headway control using the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop \
& Go function
(MRCC with Stop & Go function) system, your vehicle will stop when a v\
ehicle ahead
stops. When the vehicle is stopped and the stop hold control operates, the Mazd\
a Radar
Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function) \
indicator light
turns on.


NOTE
  If the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function) system is canceled during stop hold control, the vehicle is held in its stopped
position. The stop hold control can be canceled by performing one the following actions.
  Press the accelerator pedal and resume driving the vehicle.  While forcefully depressing the brake, switch the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with
Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function) system off.
  The electric parking brake (EPB) is automatically applied and the vehi\
cle is held in its
stopped position when 10 minutes have elapsed since the stop hold control operated. At
this time, the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop &
Go function) system is canceled.
  The brake lights turn on during stop hold control.
To resume driving
After the vehicle ahead starts moving while your vehicle is stopped unde\
r stop hold control,
press the RES switch or depress the accelerator pedal to cancel the stop hold control\
and
resume driving.
NOTE
  When you resume driving by pressing the RES switch, your vehicle does not start moving
until the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead lengthens \
to the speci fi ed
distance or farther.
   If the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function) is temporarily canceled during stop hold control, you cannot resume driving by
pressing the RES switch when there are no vehicles in front of your vehicle. Depress the
accelerator pedal and resume driving the vehicle.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
*Some models.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System *
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the pressure for each tire.
If tire pressure is too low in one or more tires, the system will inform\
the driver via the
warning light in the instrument cluster and by the warning beep sound.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning Lights on page 4-33 .
Refer to Tire Infl ation Pressure Warning Beep on page 7-42 .

The tire pressure sensors installed on each wheel send tire pressure dat\
a by radio signal to
the receiver unit in the vehicle.

Tire pressure sensors
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is low due to seasonal changes, tire temperatures are also
lower. When the tire temperature decreases, the air pressure decreases as well. The TPMS
warning light may illuminate more frequently. Visually inspect the tires daily before driving,
and check tire pressures monthly with a tire pressure gauge. When checking tire pressures,
use of a digital tire pressure gauge is recommended.


TPMS does not alleviate your need to check the pressure and condition of\
all four tires
regularly.
