Liftgate/Trunk Lid
▼ Liftgate/Trunk Lid
WA R N I N G
Never allow a person to ride in the luggage
compartment/trunk:
Allowing a person to ride in the luggage
compartment/trunk is dangerous. The
person in the luggag
e compartment/trunk
could be seriously injured or killed during
sudden braking or a collision.
Do not drive with the liftgate/trunk lid
open:
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle is
dangerous. An open liftgate/trunk lid in a
moving vehicle will cause exhaust gas to be
drawn into the cabin. This gas contains CO
(carbon monoxide), which is colorless,
odorless, and highly poisonous, and it can
cause loss of consciousness and death.
Moreover, an open lift gate/trunk lid could
cause occupants to fall out in an accident.
Do not stack or leave loaded luggage
unsecured in the luggage compartment:
Otherwise, the luggage may move or
collapse, resulting in injury or an accident.
In addition, do not load luggage higher
than the seatbacks. It may affect the side or
rear field of view.

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

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.

WA R N I N G
Always confirm the safety of the area
around the vehicle with the mirrors and
directly with your eyes when driving.
The 360°View Monitor is an auxiliary device
which assists the driver in checking the
safety of the area around the vehicle.
The shooting range of the cameras and
detection range of the sensors are limited.
For example, the areas in black at the front
and rear of the vehicle image and the
seams where each of the camera images
merge are blind spots where an obstruction
may not be visible. In addition, the
extended vehicle widt h lines and projected
vehicle path lines are only to be used as
references, and the images on the screen
may differ from the actual conditions.
CAUTION
 Do not use the 360°View Monitor under
any of the following conditions.
 Icy or snow-covered roads.
 Tire chains or a temporary spare tire is
installed.
 The front doors or the rear doors is not
fully closed.
 The vehicle is on a road incline.
 The door mirrors are retracted.
 Do not hit the front/rear camera, front/
rear bumper, and door mirrors forcefully.
The camera position or installation angle
may shift.
 The cameras are of a waterproof
structure. Do not di sassemble, modify, or
remove a camera.
 The camera cover is made of hard
plastic, therefore do not apply oil film
remover, organic solvents, wax, or
coating agents. If any such agent gets on
the camera cover, wipe it
off using a soft
cloth immediately.
 Do not rub the camera lens forcefully, or
clean it with an abrasive or hard brush.
Otherwise, it could scratch the camera
lens and negatively affect the images.
 Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for
repair, painting, or replacement of the
front/rear camera, front/rear bumper
and door mirrors.
 Heed the following cautions to assure
that the 360°View Monitor operates
normally.
 Do not modify the vehicle suspensions
or lower/raise the vehicle body, or
both.
 Always use wheels of the
specified type
and size for the front and rear wheels.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for tire replacement.
 When the display is cold, images may
leave trails or the screen might be darker
than usual, making it
difficult to check
the vehicle surroundings. Always confirm
the safety at the front and around the
vehicle visually when driving.
 The method for parking/stopping the
vehicle using the 360°View Monitor
differs depending on the road
circumstances/conditions and the
vehicle conditions. When and how much
you turn the steering wheel will differ
depending on the situation, , therefore
always check the vehicle surroundings
directly with your eyes while using the
system.
