Emergency Lane Keeping(ELK)
*
The ELK is a system designed to assist
the driver’s steering wheel operation to
avoid danger.
The ELK has the following 3 functions.
Road Keep Assist
The Road Keep Assist assists the driver
to avoid departure from the road.
If your vehicle may be deviating from
the road, the Road Keep Assist
provides steering assistance to avoid
departure from the road. In addition, a
screen display and a warning sound
notify the driver of the danger.
Blind Spot Assist*
The Blind Spot Assist assists the driver
in avoiding collisions with vehicles in
adjacent lanes (excluding vehicles
approaching in the opposite
direction).
If there is a possibility of a collision
with a vehicle in an adjacent lane
when you try to change lanes or if you
may deviate from your lane, the Blind
Spot Assist assists your steering wheel
operation to keep you in the driving
lane. In addition, a screen display and
a warning sound notify the driver of
the danger.
Head-on traffic avoidance assist*
The Head-on traffic avoidance assist
assists you in avoiding a collision with
a vehicle approaching in the oncoming
lane and your vehicle.
If there is a possibility of a collision
with a vehicle approaching in the
oncoming lane due to your vehicle
departing from its lane, the Head-on
traffic avoidance a
ssist assists your
steering wheel operation to keep you
in the original driving lane. In addition,
a screen display and a warning sound
notify the driver of the danger.

Do not connect a hydraulic
trailer-brake system to your vehicle's
brake system:
Connecting a hydraulic trailer-brake
system directly to the vehicle brake
system is dangerous and will result in
inadequate braking and possible injury.
Always use lower gears to reduce
speed:
Holding the brake pedal down too
long or too frequently is dangerous as
it could cause the brakes to overheat
and lose power, resulting in loss of
control and a serious accident. Use
lower gears to help reduce speed. Pull
off the road and allow brakes to cool
down whenever braking performance
feels reduced.
CAUTION
Do not tow a trailer during the first
1,000 km (600 miles) of your new
Mazda. If you do, you may damage
the engine, transmission, differential,
wheel bearings, and other
power-train components.
Be aware of the towing load weight
differences when towing at high
altitudes. For altitudes exceeding
1,000 meter (3,280 ft 10 in), always
reduce the towing load by 10 % for
every 1,000 meter (3,280 ft 10 in)
increase in altitude from the load
indicated under the maximum
GCWR heading in the trailer
towing-load table. If the determined
maximum total towing load weight is
exceeded, the engine and other
power-train parts may be damaged.
The total trailer weight and tongue
load can be determined by weighing
the trailer on platform scales at a
highway weight station or a trucking
company.
Make all hitch adjustments with
actual loads. Do not load and
unload vehicle while adjusting hitch.
This action will change the vehicle
height.
Do not use an axle-mounted hitch.
This may damage the axle and
related parts.
If the vehicle exceeds 100 km/h (62
mph) with a trailer in tow, the
vehicle could be damaged.
Do not connect a trailer lighting
system directly to the lighting system
of your Mazda. This may damage
your vehicle's electrical system and
lighting systems. Have a recreational
vehicle dealer or trailer rental agency
connect the system, and inspect the
brake lights and turn signals yourself
before each trip.
