2022 MAZDA MODEL MX-30 EV steering wheel

▼Steering Wheel Paddle
The steering wheel paddle is a function that makes it easy to adjust the vehicle
speed according to the accelerator pedal operation.
Acceleration/deceleration is possible according to the various driving conditions
such as on an up or down slope, during traffi
c jams, or high-speed driving.
WARNING
Avoid using the steering wheel paddles when driving on wet roads, snow-covered
roads, or icy roads:
Otherwise, the tires will slip which could lead to an accident.
Setting
By operating the plus switch (+/OFF), the regenerative braking force is decreased
when releasing the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle accelerates quickly when
depressing the accelerator pedal.
1. Plus switch (+/OFF)
By operating the minus switch (–), the regenerative braking force is increased when
releasing the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle accelerates slowly when depressing
the accelerator pedal.

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.

AUTOHOLD
▼AUTOHOLD
The AUTOHOLD function automatically holds the vehicle stopped, even if you take
your foot
off the brake pedal. This function can be best used while stopped in
traffic
or at a traffic light. The brakes are released when you start driving the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the AUTOHOLD function:
The AUTOHOLD function is only designed to assist the brake operation while the
vehicle is stopped. Neglecting to operate the brakes and relying only on the
AUTOHOLD system is dangerous and could result in an unexpected accident if the
vehicle were to suddenly move. Operate the brakes appropriately in accordance
with the road and surrounding conditions.
Do not release your foot from the brake pedal while the vehicle is stopped on a
steep grade:
Because there is a possibility of the vehicl
e not being held in the stopped position by
the AUTOHOLD function, the vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an
accident.
Do not use the AUTOHOLD function on slippery roads such as icy or
snow-covered roads, or unpaved roads:
Even if the vehicle is held in the stopped position by the AUTOHOLD function, the
vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. Operate the accelerator
pedal, brakes, or steering wheel appropriately as necessary.
Immediately depress the brake pedal in the following cases:
Because the AUTOHOLD function is canceled forcibly, the vehicle may move
unexpectedly and result in an accident.
 “Depress Brake Pedal. Brake Hold Disabled” is displayed in the multi-information
display and the warning sound is activated at the same time.
Always apply the parking brake when parking the vehicle:
Not applying the parking brake when parking the vehicle is dangerous as the vehicle
may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. When parking the vehicle, shift
the selector lever to the P position and apply the parking brake.

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 is operable when the
power switch is switched ON (EV

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.
