Overloading
▼Overloading
WARNING
Be careful not to overload your
vehicle:
The gross axle weight rating (GAWR)
and the gross vehicle weight rating
(GVWR) of the vehicle are on the
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Label
on the driver's door frame. Exceeding
these ratings can cause an accident or
vehicle damage. You can estimate the
weight of the load by weighing the
items (or people) before putting them
in the vehicle.
Driving on Uneven Road
▼ Driving on Uneven Road
Your vehicle's suspension and
underbody can be damaged if driven
on rough/uneven roads or over speed
bumps at excessive speeds. Use care
and reduce speed when traveling on
rough/uneven roads or over speed
bumps.

Use care not to damage the vehicle's
underbody, bumpers or
muffler(s)
when driving under the following
conditions:
Ascending or descending a slope
with a sharp transition angle
Ascending or descending a driveway
or trailer ramp with a sharp transition
angle

This vehicle is equipped with low
profile tires allowing class-leading
performance and handling. As a result,
the sidewall of the tires are very thin
and the tires and wheels can be
damaged if driven through potholes or
on rough/uneven roads at excessive
speeds. Use care and reduce speed
when traveling on rough/uneven roads
or through potholes.

exit an expressway while headway
control is in use, the vehicle ahead
will no longer be tracked and your
vehicle may accelerate to the set
speed).
 Slippery roads such as icy or
snow-covered roads (Tires could spin
causing you to lose vehicle control,
or the stop hold control may not
operate.)
 Long , descending slopes (to
maintain distance between vehicles,
the system automatically and
continuously applies the brakes
which could result in the loss of
brake power.)
 Two-wheeled vehicles such as
motorcycles or bicycles are ahead.
 Slopes with a st eep gradient (The
vehicle ahead may not be detected
correctly, your vehicle may slip while
stopped by the stop hold control, or
it may accelerate suddenly after it
starts moving.)
 Driving under bad weather
conditions (rain, fog , and snow).
 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.

Do not get out of the vehicle while
the stop hold control is operating.Getting out of the vehicle while the
stop hold control is operating is
dangerous as the vehicle may move
unexpectedly and result in an accident.
Before getting out of the vehicle,
switch the TJA off, apply the parking
brake, and then shift the selector lever
to the P position.

CAUTION

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.

Do not hit the rear side radar sensors
and rear ultrasonic sensors forcefully:
When washing the vehicle, do not
spray highly pressurized water against
the rear side radar sensors and the rear
ultrasonic sensors, or rub them
strongly. In addition, do not hit the rear
bumper forcefully when loading and
unloading cargo. Otherwise, the
system will be unable to detect
obstructions correctly and the SBS may
not operate normally.
CAUTION
In the following cases, turn the SBS
off to prevent a mis-operation.
 A trailer is pulled or an accessory
such as a bicycle carrier is installed
to the rear of the vehicle.
 The vehicle is driven on rough
roads such as in areas where there
is grass and foliage or off-road.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) System Operation
on page 4-162.
 Always use tires for all wheels that
are of the specified size, and the
same manufacture, brand, and tread
pattern. In addition, do not use tires
with significantly different wear
patterns on the same vehicle. If such
improper tires are used, the SBS may
not operate normally.
NOTE
During the SBS brake control, the
brake pedal may move rearward or
become stiff. The brakes are operating,
but continue to depress the brake
pedal.
Rearward detection function
The rearward detection function is
designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with a target object
when reversing.
The rearward detection function
detects obstructions using the rear
ultrasonic sensors. In addition, if there
is the possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a target object at the rear
while you are driving in reverse, you
are notified of possible danger by a
warning sound and a warning
indication on the display.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a
collision increases, brake control is
performed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision.
WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually when reversing the vehicle:
The operation of the rearward
detection function has certain
limitations. Therefore, the function
might not operate or it might be
delayed even if there is a target object
at the rear of your vehicle. Always
make it your responsibility as a driver
to check the rear.
Operation conditions
The rearward detection function
operates when all of the following
conditions are met.
The engine is running.
