Secondary CollisionReduction
*
The Secondary Collision Reduction
reduces secondary damage by
decelerating the vehicle when it is
damaged in a collision to the extent
that the airbags are deployed while
driving.
If a collision occurs to the extent that
the airbags are deployed while driving,
the hazard warning lights flash to alert
surrounding vehicles and the brakes
are controlled to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with an obstruction
or other object.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Secondary Collision Reduction
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
Secondary Collision Reduction.
The Secondary Collision Reduction
may not operate normally depending
on various conditions such as the
accident condition, component part
damage condition, target object
condition, weather conditions, or
traffic conditions. Do not rely
completely on the system and make
it your responsibility as a driver to
drive the vehicle.
 The functions of the Secondary
Collision Reduction have limitations.
If you neglect to operate the brake
and accelerator pedals correctly, it
could result in serious injury.

How to Use the
Secondary Collision Reduction
When the Secondary Collision
Reduction operates
The Secondary Collision Reduction
operates if the vehicle is damaged in a
collision to the extent that the airbags
are deployed while driving.

When the Secondary Collision
Reduction operates, the system
controls and applies the brakes until
the vehicle stops. In addition, the
hazard warning lights continue to flash.
After the vehicle stops, the parking
brake is applied by the Electric Parking
Brake (EPB).
NOTE
The brake lights turn on while the
brakes are operating by the system
control.
If there is a malfunction with the
electric parking brake (EPB), the
brakes are released by the system
control after the vehicle is stopped.
The settings for the Secondary
Collision Reduction system differ
depending on the grade/specification-separate equipment.
Secondary Collision Reduction is
disabled
If any of the following conditions is
met, the Second ary Collision
Reduction is canceled.
A certain period of time has passed
since the system operated.
After stopping the vehicle, the
accelerator pedal is strongly
depressed 3 times.
The parking brake is released after
the Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
operates.
NOTE
If the driver's brake pedal depression
force is stronger than the system's
brake control, the driver's brake
operation takes priority.
Flashing of the hazard warning lights
by the system control is canceled
when any of the following operations
is performed.
Hazard warning light switch is
pressed.
Vehicle power is switched OFF.

Cruise Control*
Cruise control reduces the load on the
driver by driving the vehicle at a
constant speed. The vehicle is driven at
the preset speed and maintaining a
constant vehicle speed without the
driver having to depress the accelerator
or brake pedal.
Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Cruise Control
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the cruise
control.
The functions of the cruise control have
limitations. Always drive carefully by
checking the safety of your
surroundings and depressing the brake
or accelerator pedal.
Do not use the cruise control under
the following conditions. Otherwise,
it may result in an accident.
The vehicle is driven on roads other
than highways.
 The vehicle is driven on roads with
sharp curves or with heavy
traffic
where sufficient distances between
vehicles cannot be kept.
 The vehicle is driven on slippery
roads such as icy or snow-covered
roads, and unpaved roads.
 The vehicle is driven on a long
downslope.
 The vehicle is driven on a steep
slope.
Turn off the cruise control when not in
use.
Leaving the cruise control turned on
when it is not in use is dangerous as it
could operate unexpectedly, resulting
in an accident.
CAUTION
 Turn off the cruise control when
being towed or when towing
another vehicle.

NOTE
The cruise control does not operate
when the Hill Descent Control is
operating.
While in EV mode, acceleration may
be restricted and the vehicle may not
be able to be driven at the set speed.
Refer to Mazda intelligent Drive
Select (Mi-Drive) on page 5-95.
The accelerator pedal operation
takes priority during constant speed
driving. When you release your foot
from the accelerator pedal, the
vehicle returns to constant speed
driving at the set speed.
(Vehicles with Mazda Radar Cruise
Control with Stop & Go function
(MRCC with Stop & Go function))
If the distance between vehicles
control is disabled using the Mazda
Connect, the system switches to the
cruise control. At this time, the
MRCC switch functions as the cruise
control switch.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
If the vehicle power is switched OFF
while the distance between vehicles
control is disabled, the distance
between vehicles control is enabled
automatically the next time the
vehicle power is switched ON.
The system may not be able to
maintain the set speed depending
on the road conditions such as steep
up or down slopes.
When the vehicle speed is less than
20 km/h (12 mph), the cruise
control is canceled. If you want to
use the cruise control again, reset the
cruise control.
The brake lights turn on while the
brakes are operating by the cruise
control.
The cruise control cannot be
canceled while driving in manual
shift mode (selector lever shifted
from the D to M position).
Therefore, engine braking does not
work even if you shift down to a
lower gear. If deceleration is
required, lower the set vehicle speed
or depress the brake pedal.
Changing the set vehicle speed

Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag
of sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
check the following:
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Refer to Inspecting the Coolant on
page 9-14.
Inspect the battery and its cables.
Cold reduces battery capacity.
Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that
the vehicle will be driven in (page
9-18).
Inspect the ignition system for
damage and loose connections.
Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze―but do not use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid
(page 9-17).
When driving on ice or in water, snow,
mud, sand, or similar hazards:
Be cautious and allow extra distance
for braking.
Avoid sudden braking and sudden
maneuvering.
Do not pump the brakes. Continue
to press down on the brake pedal.
Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS)
on page 5-84.
If you get stuck, select a lower gear
and accelerate slowly. Do not spin
the rear wheels.
For more traction in starting on
slippery surfaces such as ice or
packed snow, use sand, rock salt,
chains, carpeting, or other nonslip
material under the rear wheels.
NOTE
Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windshield is dangerous
as it could obstruct vision.
Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice
or frozen snow on the mirror glass
and windshield.
Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.
Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely affected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake
components. If this situation occurs,
drive the vehicle slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to
normal.
