2022 MAZDA MODEL MX-30 EV brake light

HLA does not operate if the parking
brake is applied, or if the vehicle has
not stopped completely.
While HLA is operating, the brake
pedal may feel stiff and vibrate,
however, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
HLA does not operate while the
TCS/DSC indicator light is
illuminated.
Refer to TCS/DSC Indication/
Indicator Light (Turns on) on page
7-27.
HLA does not turn o ff even if the TCS
OFF switch is pressed to turn o ff the
TCS.

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 7-26.
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.
You might hear the sound of a motor
when starting the EV system or
immediately after starting to drive
the vehicle. However, it does not
indicate a problem.

Tra c t i o n C o n t r o l Sy s te m(TCS)
▼Traction Control System (TCS)
The Traction Control System (TCS)
prevents drive-wheel spinning which
occurs during acceleration from a stop
or acceleration during cornering on
slippery roads, such as wet or
snow-covered roads, and assures
optimum drive force and steerability.


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 Traction Control
System (TCS) as a substitute for safe
driving:
The Traction Control System (TCS)
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.
Use snow tires or tire chains and drive
at reduced speeds when roads are
covered with ice and/or snow:
Driving without proper traction devices
on snow and/or ice-covered roads is
dangerous. The Traction Control
System (TCS) alone cannot provide
adequate traction and you could still
have an accident.
NOTE
To t u r n o
ff the TCS, press the TCS OFF
switch (page 4-65).
▼ 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.
NOTE
When the TCS/DSC operation
indicator light fl ashes, a sound from
the motor compartment may be
heard, however, this does not
indicate a problem. This indicates
that the TCS/DSC is operating
normally.
On slippery road surfaces, such as
freshly fallen snow, the motor
rotation speed cannot be increased
when the TCS is on.
▼ TCS OFF Indicator Light
This indicator light stays on for a few
seconds when the power switch is
switched ON.

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.

i-ACTIVSENSE
▼i-ACTIVSENSE
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term
covering a series
of advanced safety
and driver support systems which
make use of cameras and sensors. The
systems consist of active safety and
pre-crash safety systems.
These systems are designed to assist
the driver in safer driving by reducing
the load on the driver and helping to
avert collisions or reduce their severity.
However, because each system has its
limitations, always drive carefully and
do not rely solely on the systems.
▼ Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer
driving by helping the driver to
recognize potential hazards and avert
accidents.
