NOTE
xIf the Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
switch is pulled while the AUTOHOLD
is operating, the parking brake is
applied and the AUTOHOLD is
released. In addition, if the parking
brake is released under this condition,
the AUTOHOLD operates to hold the
brakes.
xUnder the following conditions, the
parking brake is automatically applied
and the AUTOHOLD is released. The
AUTOHOLD is re-enabled when the
conditions before the AUTOHOLD is
released are restored.
xThe driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
xThe driver’s door is opened.
xWhen about 10 minutes or longer have
passed since the AUTOHOLD operation
started, the parking brake is
automatically applied. Because the
AUTOHOLD is restored when releasing
the parking brake, the hold on the
brakes by AUTOHOLD function
resumes.
x(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.

x(Type A/B instrument cluster)
If the AUTOHOLD switch is pressed
without depressing the brake pedal
while AUTOHOLD is operating
(AUTOHOLD active indicator light in
instrument cluster is turned on), the
message Brake Pedal Must Be

System is indicated on the
multi-information display to notify the
driver to depress the brake pedal.
x(Type C instrument cluster)
If the AUTOHOLD switch is pressed
without depressing the brake pedal
while the AUTOHOLD is operating
(AUTOHOLD active indicator light is
turned on), the brake pedal operation
demand indicator light (green) in the
instrument cluster turns on to notify the
driver that it is necessary to depress the
brake pedal.
(Green)
xIf any of the following conditions occurs
while the AUTOHOLD function is
operating (AUTOHOLD active indicator
light is turned on), the parking brake is
applied automatically and the
AUTOHOLD function turns off. For the
Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
operation, refer to the Electric Parking
Brake (EPB) on page 4-109.
xThe ignition is switched OFF.
xThere is a problem with the
AUTOHOLD function.

NOTE
xFlashing
When you bring your vehicle to a
complete stop while all the direction
indicator lights are flashing rapidly, the
rapid flashing of all the direction
indicator lights changes back to the
normal flashing pattern. When the
hazard warning light switch is pressed,
all of the direction indicator lights turn
off.
xOperation
xWhen the ABS operates, the
emergency stop signal system is more
likely to operate. Therefore, if the
brake pedal is depressed on a slippery
road, all of the direction indicator
lights may flash.
xThe emergency stop signal system
does not operate when the hazard
warning light switch is pressed.

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.

Do not rely on ABS as a substitute for safe
driving:
The ABS cannot compensate for unsafe
and reckless driving, excessive speed,
tailgating (following another vehicle too
closely), driving on ice and snow, and
hydroplaning (reduced tyre friction and
road contact because of water on the road
surface). You can still have an accident.
NOTE
xBraking distances may be longer on
loose surfaces (snow or gravel, for
example) which usually have a hard
foundation. A vehicle with a normal
braking system may require less
distance to stop under these conditions
because the tyres will build up a wedge
of surface layer when the wheels skid.
xThe sound of the ABS operating may be
heard when starting the engine or
immediately after starting the vehicle,
however, it does not indicate a
malfunction.

Do not rely on the Traction Control System
(TCS) as a substitute for safe driving:
The Traction Control System (TCS) cannot
compensate for unsafe and reckless
driving, excessive speed, tailgating
(following another vehicle too closely), and
hydroplaning (reduced tyre friction and
road contact because of water on the road
surface). You can still have an accident.
Use snow tyres or tyre chains and drive at
reduced speeds when roads are covered
with ice and/or snow:
Driving without proper traction devices on
snow and/or ice-covered roads is
dangerous. The Traction Control System
(TCS) alone cannot provide adequate
traction and you could still have an
accident.
NOTE
To turn off the TCS, press the DSC OFF
switch (page 4-121).

NOTE
xIn addition to the indicator light
flashing, a slight labouring sound will
come from the engine. This indicates
that the TCS/DSC is operating properly.
xOn slippery surfaces, such as fresh
snow, it will be impossible to achieve
high rpm when the TCS is on.

Control as a substitute for safe driving:

¾The DSC may not operate correctly
unless the following are observed:
¾Use tyres of the correct size
specified
for your Mazda on all 4 wheels.
¾Use tyres of the same manufacturer,
brand and tread pattern on all 4
wheels.
¾Do not mix worn tyres.
¾The DSC may not operate correctly when
tyre chains are used or a temporary spare
tyre is installed because the tyre diameter
changes.

NOTE
xWhen DSC is on and you attempt to free
the vehicle when it is stuck, or drive it
out of freshly fallen snow, the TCS (part
of the DSC system) will activate.
Depressing the accelerator will not
increase engine power and freeing the
vehicle may be difficult. When this
happens, turn off the TCS/DSC.
xIf the TCS/DSC is off when the engine is
turned off, it automatically activates
when the ignition is switched ON.
xLeaving the TCS/DSC on will provide
the best traction.
xIf the DSC OFF switch is pressed and
held for 10 seconds or more, the DSC
OFF switch malfunction detection
function operates and the DSC system
activates automatically. The DSC OFF
indicator light turns off while the DSC
system is operative.
x(Vehicles with Advanced Smart City
Brake Support (Advanced SCBS) or
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS))
If the Advanced Smart City Brake
Support (Advanced SCBS) or Smart City
Brake Support (SCBS) operates with the
TCS/DSC turned off, the TCS/DSC
becomes operational automatically.
