NOTE
There may be a problem with the
turn signal lights if they do not flash
but remain turned on, or they flash
abnormally. Have your vehicle
inspected by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
A personalized function is available
to change the turn indicator sound
volume.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
▼Lane-Change Signals
Move the lever halfway toward the
direction of the lane change
―until the
indicator flashes― and hold it there. It
will return to the off position when
released.
▼ Three-Flash Turn Signal
After releasing the turn signal lever
from the halfway point, the turn signal
indicator
flashes 3 times. The
operation can be canceled by moving
the lever in the direction opposite to
which it was operated.
NOTE
The three-flash turn signal function can
be switched to on/off using the
personalization function.
Refer to the Settings section in the

Windshield Wipers and
Washer
▼Windshield Wipers and Washer
The ignition must be switched ON to
use the wipers.
WARNING
Use only windshield washer
fluid or
plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield,
affect your visibility, and could result in
an accident.
Only use windshield washer fluid
mixed with anti-freeze protection in
freezing weather conditions:
Using windshield washer fluid without
anti-freeze protection in freezing
weather conditions is dangerous as it
could freeze on the windshield and
block your vision which could cause an
accident. In addition, make sure the
windshield is sufficiently warmed using
the defroster before spraying the
washer fluid.

intend to start driving the vehicle
immediately, shift the shift lever to the
neutral position for a manual

Canceling the parking brake
automatic operation
The parking brake automatic operation
can be canceled by doing any of the
following after switching the ignition
from ON to OFF.
Auto operation cancel method 1
1. Switch the ignition ON.
2. Turn off the AUTOHOLD.
3. Press the EPB switch continuouslyfor 2 seconds or longer (until a
sound is activated).
4. Release the EPB switch and switchthe ignition OFF within 5 seconds
after the sound was activated.
After the auto operation is
canceled, a sound is activated one
time, and the EPB switch indicator
light switches from illumination to
flashing, and then turns off after 3
seconds.
Auto operation cancel method 2
1. Switch the ignition ON.
2. Turn off the AUTOHOLD.
3. Switch the ignition OFF with the EPB switch pressed.
When the auto operation is
canceled, a sound is activated one
time, and the EPB switch indicator
light from normal flashing to faster
flashing, and then turns
off after 3
seconds.
NOTE
When canceling the parking brake
auto operation and parking the
vehicle, shift the shift lever to the 1st
gear or the R position for a manual
transmission, or shift the selector
lever to the P position for an
automatic transmission, and then
use wheel blocks.
The auto operation may not cancel if
the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope.
When the ignition is switched ON, the
parking brake auto operation is
restored.

Antilock Brake System(ABS)
▼Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS control unit continuously
monitors the speed of each wheel. If
one wheel is about to lock up, the ABS
responds by automatically releasing
and reapplying that wheel's brake.
The driver will feel a slight vibration in
the brake pedal and may hear a
chattering noise from the brake system.
This is normal ABS system operation.
Continue to depress the brake pedal
without pumping the brakes.
The warning light turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to ABS Warning Indication/
Warning Light on page 7-25.
WARNING
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 tire friction
and road contact because of water on
the road surface). You can still have an
accident.
NOTE
Braking 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 tires will
build up a wedge of surface layer
when the wheels skid.
The 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.

▼Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
The MRCC system is designed to
maintain headway control*1 with a

sensor to detect the distance to the
vehicle ahead and a preset vehicle
speed without you having to use the
accelerator or brake pedals.

Additionally, if your vehicle starts
closing in on the vehicle ahead such as
if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, a

simultaneously to alert you to maintain
a sufficient distance between the
vehicles.
