¾After driving at freeway speeds or up a long hill, trailer towing for a long time, idle the
engine at least 30 seconds before stopping it. Otherwise, the turbocharger could be
damaged. However, when i-stop operates, idling is unnecessary.
¾Racing or over-revving the engine, particularly after it's just been started, can damage the
turbocharger.
¾To protect the engine from damage, the engine is designed so that it cannot be raced just
after starting it in extremely cold weather.

Be aware of the towing load weight differences when towing at high altitudes. For altitudes
exceeding 1,000 meter (3,280 ft 10 in), always reduce the towing load by 10% for every 1,000
meter (3,280 ft 10 in) increase in altitude from the load indicated under the gross combination
weight heading in the maximum trailer towing-load table. If the determined maximum total
towing load weight is exceeded, the engine and other power train parts may be damaged.

Never use the temporary spare tyre when towing:
Using the temporary spare tyre on your vehicle when towing a trailer is dangerous as it could
result in tyre failure, loss of control, and injury to vehicle occupants.

Make sure the safety chain is securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle prior to
departure:
Towing a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer and the
vehicle is dangerous. If damage occurs to the coupling unit or hitch ball, the trailer could
wander into another lane and cause a collision.

Do not connect a trailer lighting system directly to the lighting system of your Mazda. This
may damage your vehicle's electrical system and lighting systems. To connect the lighting
system, consult an Authorised Mazda Dealer.

Do not rely completely on the vehicle roll prevention function.
¾The vehicle roll prevention function is a supplementary function which operates for a
maximum of 4 seconds after releasing the brake pedal and accelerating the vehicle from an
engine idling stop condition. Over reliance on the system may result in an unexpected
accident if the vehicle were to suddenly accelerate. Before starting to drive the vehicle,
always confirm the safety of the surroundings and operate the selector lever, brake pedal,
and accelerator pedal appropriately. Note that the vehicle may move suddenly depending
on the vehicle's load or if it is towing something.
¾Note that the vehicle may move suddenly after the vehicle roll prevention function is
released while the vehicle is under the following conditions:
¾The selector lever is in the N position.
¾If the selector lever is shifted to the N position and the brake pedal is released while the
i-stop function is operating, the brake force is gradually released. To accelerate the
vehicle, release the brake pedal after the engine restarts and shift the selector lever to a
position other than the N position.
NOTE
xWhen the vehicle is stopped on a steep grade, the vehicle roll prevention function does not
operate because engine idling is not stopped.
xThe brake pedal response may change, sound may occur from the brakes, or the brake
pedal could vibrate from the operation of the vehicle roll prevention function. However,
this does not indicate a malfunction.

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 2 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
xHLA 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.
xHLA does not operate if the parking
brake is applied, the vehicle has not
stopped completely, or the clutch pedal
is released.
xWhile HLA is operating, the brake pedal
may feel stiff and vibrate, however, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
xHLA does not operate while the
TCS/DSC indicator light is illuminated.
Refer to Contact Authorised Mazda
Repairer and Have Vehicle Inspected on
page 7-49.
xHLA does not turn off even if the DSC
OFF switch is pressed to turn off the
TCS/DSC.
x(Automatic Transaxle)
Although the HLA does not operate
during idling stop, the vehicle roll
prevention function operates to prevent
vehicle roll.

¾Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads (The tyres could spin causing you to lose
vehicle control).
¾Long descending slopes (to maintain distance between vehicles, the system automatically
and continuously applies the brakes which could result in the loss of brake power).
For the purposes of safety, switch the MRCC system off when it is not being used.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
If the vehicle is towed or you are towing something, switch the MRCC system off to prevent an
incorrect operation.
NOTE
xThe MRCC system operates when all of the following conditions are met.
xThe vehicle speed is as follows:
x(European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 200 km/h (124 mph)
x(Except European models)
About 30 km/h (19 mph) to 145 km/h (90 mph)
xThe MRCC system is turned on.
xThe parking brake is not applied.
xThe Smart Brake Support (SBS) is not malfunctioning.
xThe Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is operating normally.
xAll doors are closed.
xThe driver's seat belt is fastened.
(Manual transaxle)
xThe shift lever is in a position other than reverse (R) or neutral (N).
xThe clutch pedal is not depressed.
(Automatic transaxle)
xThe selector lever is in the drive (D) position or manual (M) position (manual mode).
xIn the following cases, the warnings may not activate even if your vehicle starts closing in
on the vehicle ahead.
xYou are driving at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.
xDirectly after the MRCC system has been set.
xWhen the accelerator pedal is depressed or directly after the accelerator pedal is
released.
xAnother vehicle cuts into the driving lane.
xThe following are not detected as physical objects.
