Driving Tips
▼Driving Tips
WARNING
Do not let the vehicle move in a
direction opposite to the direction
selected by the selector lever:
Do not let the vehicle move backward
with the selector lever in a forward
position, or do not let the vehicle
move forward with the selector lever in
the reverse position. Otherwise, the
engine may stop, causing the loss of
the power brake and power steering
functions, and make it difficult to
control the vehicle which could result
in an accident.
Passing
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or climbing steep grades,
depress the accelerator fully. The
transmission will shift to a lower gear,
depending on vehicle speed.
NOTE
xThe accelerator pedal may initially
feel heavy as it is being depressed,
then feel lighter as it is depressed
further. This change in pedal force
aids the engine control system in
determining how much the
accelerator pedal has been
depressed for performing kickdown,
and functions to control whether or
not kickdown should be performed.
xWhile the selector lever is in the M
position and the TCS is turned off,
manual shift mode does not switch
to automatic shift mode even if the
accelerator pedal is completely
depressed. Operate the selector
lever.
Climbing steep grades from a stop
To climb a steep grade from a stopped
position:
1. Depress the brake pedal.
2. Shift to D or M1, depending on the
load weight and grade steepness.
3. Release the brake pedal while
gradually accelerating.
Descending steep grades
When descending a steep grade, shift
to lower gears, depending on load
weight and grade steepness. Descend
slowly, using the brakes only
occasionally to prevent them from
overheating.

Power Steering
▼Power Steering
xPower steering is only operable when
the engine is running. If the engine is
off or if the power steering system is
inoperable, you can still steer, but it
requires more physical
effort.
If the steering feels stiffer than usual
during normal driving or the steering
vibrates, consult an expert repairer
(we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer).
xThe malfunction indication notifies
the driver of system abnormalities
and operation conditions.
Refer to Power Steering Malfunction
Indication/Indicator Light on page
7-51.

xIf the vehicle ahead starts moving
within 3 seconds after your vehicle is
stopped by the stop hold control,
headway control will continue even if
you do not resume driving your
vehicle, such as by depressing the
accelerator pedal.

Vehicle departure information
If you do not resume driving within a
few seconds after the vehicle ahead
starts moving during stop hold control,
the multi-information display
vehicle-ahead indication flashes to
urge the driver to resume driving. If you
do not resume driving after the
indicator light
flashes, a sound is
activated to urge you to resume
driving.
Lane-keep Assist System
(LAS)
*
▼Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)
The LAS provides steering assistance to
help the driver stay within the vehicle
lane if the vehicle might be deviating.
The forward sensing camera (FSC)
detects the white lines (yellow lines) of
the vehicle lane in which the vehicle is
travelling and if the system determines
that the vehicle may deviate from its
lane, it operates the electric power
steering to assist the driver’s steering
operation. The system also alerts the
driver by displaying an alert on the
multi-information display and the
active driving display. Use the system
when you drive the vehicle on roads
with white (yellow) lines such as
expressways and highways.
1. Forward sensing camera (FSC)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the LAS:
¾The LAS is not an automated driving
system. In addition, the system is not
designed to compensate for a
driver’s lack of caution, and
over-reliance on the system could
lead to an accident.

¾If the parking brake cannot be
released when towing the vehicle,
transport the vehicle with all front
and rear wheels raised off the ground
as shown in the figure. If the vehicle
is towed without raising the wheels
off the ground, the brake system
could be damaged.
1. Wheel dollies
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, the vehicle may be towed
with all four wheels on the ground
using the towing hook at the front of
the vehicle.
Only tow the vehicle on paved surfaces
for short distances at low speeds.
CAUTION
Follow these instructions when towing
the vehicle with all wheels on the
ground.
1. Shift to neutral (Manual
transmission), or the N position
(Automatic transmission).
2. Switch the ignition to ON.
3. Release the parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
on page 4-70.
Remember that power assist for the
brakes and steering will not be
available when the engine is not
running.
Towing Hooks
▼Towing Hooks
CAUTION
¾The towing eyelet should be used in
an emergency (to get the vehicle out
of a ditch or a snow bank, for
example).
¾When using the towing eyelets,
always pull the lead or chain in a
straight direction with respect to the
eyelet. Never apply a sideways force.
NOTE
When towing with chain or lead, wrap
the chain or lead with a soft cloth near
the bumper to prevent damage to the
bumper.
1. Remove the towing eyelet, wheel
brace, and the jack lever or
equivalent from the luggage
compartment (page 7-24).
2. Wrap a flathead screwdriver or jack
lever or a similar tool with a soft
cloth to prevent damage to a
painted bumper, and open the cap
located on the front or rear
bumper.

1. Drive to the side of the road and
park off the right-of-way on level
ground.
2. Turn off the engine and wait 5
minutes for the oil to drain back
into the sump.
3. Inspect the engine oil level (page
6-27). If it's low, add the
appropriate amount of engine oil
while being careful not to overfill.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine if the oil
level is low. Otherwise, it could
result in extensive engine damage.
4. Start the engine and check the
warning light.

If the light remains illuminated even
though the oil level is normal or after
adding oil, stop the engine
immediately and have your vehicle
towed to an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer).
▼High Engine Coolant Temperature
Warning Indication
Displays if the engine coolant
temperature has increased excessively.
“Elevated Engine Coolant Temp. Drive
Slowly” displayed
Drive slowly to reduce engine load
until you can find a safe place to stop
the vehicle and wait for the engine to
cool down.
“Excessive Engine Coolant Temp. Stop
the Vehicle in a Safe Location”
displayed
This indicates the possibility of
overheating. Park the vehicle in a safe
place immediately and stop the
engine.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-44.
CAUTION
Do not drive the vehicle with the high
engine coolant temperature warning
light illuminated. Otherwise, it could
result in damage to the engine.
▼Power Steering Malfunction
Indication/Indicator Light
The message is displayed if the electric
power steering has a malfunction.
If the message is displayed, stop the
vehicle in a safe place and do not
operate the steering wheel. There is no
problem if the indication turns off
when the engine is restarted after
some time has passed. If the indication
displays even after the engine is
restarted, contact an expert repairer
(we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) if the message is displayed
continuously.
NOTE
xIf the message is displayed, the
power steering will not operate
normally. In this case, the steering
wheel can still be operated,
however, the operation may feel
heavy compared to normal, or the
steering wheel could vibrate when
turning.
If Trouble Arises
Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds

xRepeatedly jerking the steering
wheel left and right while the vehicle
is stopped or moving extremely
slowly will cause the power steering
system to go into protective mode
which will make the steering feel
heavy, but this does not indicate a
problem. If this occurs, park the
vehicle safely and wait several
minutes for the system to return to
normal.
▼ABS Warning Indication/Warning
Light
If the ABS warning light stays on while
you're driving , the ABS control unit has
detected a system malfunction. If this
occurs, your brakes will function
normally as if the vehicle had no ABS.
Should this happen, consult an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer) as soon as
possible.
NOTE
xWhen the engine is jump-started to
charge the battery, uneven rpm
occurs and the ABS warning light
may illuminate. If this occurs, it is the
result of the weak battery and does
not indicate an ABS malfunction.
Recharge the battery.
xThe brake assist system does not
operate while the ABS warning light
is illuminated.
▼Master Warning Indication
The indication displays if the system
has a malfunction.
Check the reason for the indication
displaying on the centre display or
multi-information display.
Refer to If a Warning Light Turns On or
Flashes on page 7-49.
▼Brake Control System Warning
