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.
Pa s s i n g
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
The 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.
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 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 Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
The malfunction indication/indicator
light notifies the driver of system
abnormalities and operation
conditions.
Refer to Power Steering Malfunction

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
traveling 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:
 The 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.
The functions of the LAS have
limitations. Always stay on course
using the steering wheel and drive
with care.
 Do not use the LAS 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 LAS can operate normally.
Do not modify the vehicle's
suspensions.
 Always use tires of the specified type
and size for the front and rear
wheels. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer for tire replacement.

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 Authorized
Mazda Dealer if the message is
displayed continuously.
NOTE
If 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.
Repeatedly 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 Indicat ion/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
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
NOTE
When 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.
The 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 center display or
multi-information display.
Refer to If a Warning Light Turns On or
Flashes on page 7-22.
