2019 MAZDA MODEL CX-30 automatic transmission

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 shift 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 forward with the
selector lever in the R position.
WARNING
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 transmission, 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 TCS/DSC Indication/
Indicator Light (Turns on) on page
7-55.
xHLA does not turn off even if the TCS
OFF switch is pressed to turn
off the
TCS.
x(Automatic Transmission)
Although the HLA does not operate
during idling stop, the vehicle roll
prevention function operates to
prevent vehicle roll.

Distance & Speed Alert
(DSA)
*
▼Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)
The DSA is a system which provides
advice for maintaining the appropriate
distance between vehicles and
notifies
the driver of the recommended, safe
distance to maintain with a vehicle
ahead. The system measures the
distance between your vehicle and a
vehicle ahead while the vehicle speed
is about 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster. If
the distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead is continuously
close, the system alerts the driver of a
possible collision using an indication
on the display and suppresses your
vehicle speed
*1 to prevent it from
approaching the vehicle ahead too
closely.
*1 The function which suppresses your
vehicle speed is not available in
some markets.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
DSA:
The ability of the system to detect a
vehicle ahead is limited depending on
the type of vehicle ahead, weather
conditions, or traffic conditions. In
addition, the system is not for
maintaining the distance between your
vehicle and a vehicle ahead. If you
neglect to operate the accelerator and
brake pedals correctly, it could lead to
an accident. Always check the safety of
the surrounding area and depress the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safe distance from vehicles
ahead or on-coming vehicles.
