Stopping the EV System
▼When Stopping the EV System
1. Shift the selector lever to the P
position.
2. Press the power switch. The READY
indication is not displayed in the
instrument cluster and the EV
system stops, and then the power
switch is switched OFF.
WARNING
Other than for an emergency
situation, do not attempt to stop the
EV system while driving the vehicle:
If the EV system is stopped while
driving the vehicle, loss of brake power
and power steering functions could
occur, making it di fficult to control the
vehicle which could result in an
accident.
CAUTION
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure
that the power switch is switched OFF
(READY indication is not displayed).
NOTE
Key battery
If the system detects that the key's
remaining battery power is low when
the power switch is switched from
ON to ACC or OFF, the KEY indicator
light (green) flashes in the instrument
cluster or the KEY warning indication
is displayed on the multi-information
display.
Refer to Starting the EV System When
the Key Battery is Dead on page 4-6.
Selector lever position
Because the AUTO P (parking lock)
function operates, the power
switch can be switched OFF even
with the selector lever in a position
other than P, however, for reasons
of safety, shift the selector lever to
the P position and then switch the
power switch OFF.
If you switch the power switch OFF
with the selector lever in a position
other than P, a warning sound and
a display indication notify you that
the selector lever position and the
shift position do not match.
Power switch position
If you leave or try to leave the vehicle
without switching the power switch
OFF, the KEY warning light (red) fl ashing , a display indication, and a
warning sound notify you that the
power switch is not switched OFF.
▼ Emergency EV System Stop
Pressing the power switch continuously
or pressing it quickly any number of
times even if the vehicle is not
stopped, will stop the EV system. The
power switch switches to ACC.

Pa r k i n g t h e v e h i c l e
1. After completely stopping thevehicle, continue to depress the
brake pedal firmly.
2. Shift the selector lever to the P
position with the brake pedal
depressed.
3. Make sure that the shift position is in the P position using the shift
position indication in the
instrument cluster.
4. Apply the parking brake with the
brake pedal depressed.
5. Press the power switch to stop the
EV system.
CAUTION
Completely stop the vehicle before
shifting the selector lever to the P
position. If the selector lever is shifted
to the P position before the vehicle is
completely stopped, unnecessary force
will be applied to the EV transaxle
which could cause damage.
Other precautions
WARNING
Do not allow the vehicle to move in
reverse on an upslope while the
selector lever is in forward drive, or
move forward on an downslope while
the selector lever is in reverse drive:
Otherwise, the EV system could stop,
making the steering wheel difficult to
control, which could result in an
accident.

Dynamic Stability Control(DSC)
▼Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
automatically controls braking and
motor torque in conjunction with
systems such as the ABS and TCS to
help control side slip when driving on
slippery surfaces, or during sudden or
evasive steering, which enhances
vehicle stability.

Refer to ABS (page 4-63) and TCS
(page 4-64).

DSC operation is possible at speeds
greater than 20 km/h (12 mph).

The warning light turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to TCS/DSC Indication/
Indicator Light (Turns on) on page
7-27.
WARNING
Do not rely on the Dynamic Stability
Control as a substitute for safe
driving:
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
cannot compensate for unsafe and
reckless driving , excessive speed,
tailgating (following another vehicle
too closely), and hydroplaning
(reduced tire friction and road contact
because of water on the road surface).
You can still have an accident.
CAUTION

The DSC may not operate correctly
unless the following are observed:
 Use tires of the correct size
speci fied for your Mazda on all 4
wheels.
 Use tires of the same
manufacturer, brand and tread
pattern on all 4 wheels.
 Do not mix worn tires.
 The DSC may not operate correctly
when tire chains are used or a
temporary spare tire is installed
because the tire diameter changes.
NOTE
If there is a problem with the DSC, the
Hill Launch Assi st (HLA) may not
operate.
Refer to Hill Launch Assist (HLA) on
page 4-61.
▼ TCS/DSC Indicator Light
When the power switch is switched
ON, the TCS/DSC indicator light turns
on and then turns
off after a few
seconds. If the TCS or DSC is
operating , the indicator light flashes.

If the light stays on, the TCS, DSC or
the brake assist system may have a
malfunction and they may not operate
correctly. Take your vehicle to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Power Steering
▼Power Steering
Power steering is operable when the
power switch is switched ON (EV
system on). The steering wheel can
still be operated even when the
power switch is switched to a
position other than ON (EV system
on), however, the operation may feel
heavy compared to normal.
If the steering feels sti
ffer 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.
