CAUTION
If you stop operating the accelerator pedal before the vehicle starts moving, the force holding
the vehicle in the stopped position may weaken. Firmly depress the brake pedal or depress the
accelerator pedal to accelerate the vehicle.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, a problem with the AUTOHOLD is occurring. Have your
vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
A message is indicated on the multi-information display and a warning sound is
activated for about 5 seconds while the AUTOHOLD is operating or when your press
the AUTOHOLD switch.
If you switch the ignition OFF while the AUTOHOLD is operating, the parking brake is
applied automatically to assist you with parking the vehicle.
The AUTOHOLD is canceled when the selector lever/shift lever is shifted to R position
while the vehicle is on level ground, or facing up a hill or grade (as shown below).

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 “Depress Brake Pedal and
Operate Switch to Release” is indicated
on the multi-information display to
notify the driver to depress the brake
pedal.
If 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

operation, refer to the Electric Parking
Brake (EPB) on page 4-63.
The ignition is switched OFF.
There is a problem with the
AUTOHOLD function.
Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
▼ Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
The HLA functions to assist in
accelerating the vehicle from a stop on
slopes. When releasing the brake pedal
and depressing the accelerator pedal to
accelerate the vehicle from a stop while on
a slope, the function prevents the vehicle
from rolling. The HLA also operates when
reversing on a slope.
The braking force is maintained
automatically after releasing the brake
pedal on a steep slope.
For manual transmission vehicles, the
HLA operates when the vehicle is tilted
rearward with the shif
t lever in a forward
gear, and operates when the vehicle is
tilted forward with the shift lever in the R
position.
For automatic transmission vehicles, the
HLA operates when the vehicle is tilted
rearward with the selector lever in a
forward gear, and operates when the
vehicle is tilted forwa rd with the selector
lever in the R position.
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 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.

Lane Departure WarningSystem (LDWS)
*
▼Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS)
The LDWS alerts the driver that the
vehicle may be deviating from its lane. If
the white (yellow) lin
es on the traffic lane
are detected using the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) and the system determines
that the vehicle may be deviating from its
lane, it notifies the driver by flashing the
LDWS warning light and activating the
LDWS warning beep, and by the
multi-information display.
Refer to Forward Sen sing Camera (FSC)
on page 4-198.
Use the LDWS when you drive the vehicle
on roads with white (yellow) lines.
1. Forward sensing camera (FSC)
2. Multi-information display
WA R N I N G
Do not rely completely on the LDWS.
 The LDWS system is not designed to
compensate for a driver’s lack of caution
and relying too much on the system
could lead to an accident.
 The functions of the LDWS have
limitations. Always stay on course using
the steering wheel and drive with care.
 Do not use the LDWS under the following
circumstances, otherwise it may result in
an accident.
 The vehicle is driven on slippery roads
such as icy or snow-covered roads, and
unpaved roads.
 Tires of a different specified size are
used, such as a temporary spare tire.
 Tires with insufficient tread are used.
 The tire pressures are not adjusted to
the specified pressure.
 The vehicle is being used to tow a
camper or boat trailer.
 Tire chains are used.
 The vehicle is driven on roads with lane
lines other than white (yellow) lines,
such as an expressway.
CAUTION
Heed the following cautions so that the
LDWS can operate normally.
Do not modify the vehicle's suspensions.
 Always use wheels of the specified type
and size for the front and rear wheels.

camera (FSC) is high or low.
The windshield around the forward
sensing camera (FSC) is foggy.
The windshield around the forward
sensing camera (FSC) is blocked by an
obstruction, causing poor forward
visibility.
Strong light (such as sunlight, or
headlights (high-beam) of on-coming
vehicles) is directed at the forward
sensing camera (FSC).
System malfunction
If there is a problem w ith the system, the

time the ignition is switched ON.
Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM)
*
▼Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
The BSM is designed to assist the driver in
checking the area to the rear of the vehicle
on both sides during lane changes by
notifying the driver of the presence of
vehicles approaching
from the rear in an
adjacent lane.
BSM operation
The BSM detects vehicles approaching
from the rear while traveling in the
forward direction at a speed of 10 km/h
(6.3 mph) or faster and notifies the driver
by turning on the BSM warning indicator
light and displaying the vehicle detection
screen.
If the turn signal lever is operated to signal
a turn in the direction in which the BSM
warning indicator light is illuminated
while the approaching vehicle is detected,
the BSM notifies the driver of possible
danger flashing on the BSM warning
indicator light, and by activating the
warning sound and the warning screen
indicator display.
