2024 MAZDA CX90 steering wheel

Dynamic Stability Control(DSC)
The DSC automatically controls
braking and hybrid system power
output in conjunct ion 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.
Also refer to Antilock Brake System
(ABS) 5-84, Traction Control System
(TCS) 5-85.
Warning and Cautions for
Using the Dynamic
Stability Control (DSC)
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
 Heed the following cautions so that
the DSC can operate normally.
 Always use tires of the specified
size, same manufacturer, brand,
and pattern (tread pattern) for the
front and rear wheels.
 Do not use tires with
significantly
different wear patterns on the
same vehicle.
 Do not use tires with sizes other
than the specified size, different
type, and
significantly
different
wear patterns on the same vehicle.
 When using tires where the tire
diameter is changed due to the
installation of tire chains, or when
installing an emergency spare tire,
the DSC may not operate normally.

Hill Descent Control*
The hill descent control is a system that
maintains a constant vehicle speed
when the vehicle descends a steep
slope, off-road or on a snowy road. As
the low speed can be maintained
without operating the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal, the driver
can concentrate on the steering wheel
operation.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Hill Descent Control
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the hill
descent control.
If necessary, depress the brake pedal
on a slippery road surface such as
extremely steep slope s, icy roads, or
mud or gravel roads. Failure to
maintain a constant low speed may
result in an unexpected accident.
Always drive carefully.

(SPORT Mode)
(NORMAL Mode)
(EV Mode)
(OFF-ROAD Mode)
NOTE
TOWING mode can be selected only
when electrically connected to the
trailer using a Mazda genuine trailer
hitch. In addition, it may take some
time until the connection is detected
and TOWING mode is displayed.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for details.
Depending on driving conditions
when selecting TOWING mode/
SPORT mode/OFF-ROAD mode, the
vehicle may perform shift-down or
accelerate slightly.
When SPORT mode/OFF-ROAD
mode is selected, driving the vehicle
at higher engine speeds increases
and fuel economy may worsen.
Canceling SPORT mode/OFF-ROAD
mode during normal driving is
recommended.
When setting the Mazda Radar
Cruise Control (MRCC) while driving
in SPORT mode, the mode is
switched to NORMAL mode. In
addition, while the MRCC is being
used, the mode cannot be switched
to SPORT mode.
Switching to EV mode may not be
possible depending on the driving
operations, driving conditions, and
high voltage battery condition.
When the system determines that
the engine needs to be started while
the vehicle is being driven in EV
mode, the mode is switched to
NORMAL mode.
The remaining distance-to-full
discharge for EV mode may
decrease, even when the vehicle is
being driven in a mode other than
EV mode.
The maximum speed in EV mode is
140 km/h (86 mph).
The drive mode cannot be switched
in the following cases.
The Antilock Brake System (ABS) is
operating.
The Traction Control System (TCS)
is operating.
The Dynamic Stability Control
(DSC) is operating.
The steering wheel is being
operated abruptly.
The driving mode in which the
display in the instrument cluster is
grayed out cannot be selected.
When the vehicle power is switched
OFF, the mode returns to NORMAL
mode. However, TOWING mode
before switching the vehicle power
OFF is maintained only when the
trailer is connected in TOWING
mode.

Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS)
The TPMS monitors the air pressure of
each tire and informs the driver of a
decrease in the tire air pressure when it
becomes lower than the specified air
pressure.
For the TPMS, the air pressure data
sent from the tire pressure sensors
installed on each wheel via radio signal
is received by the receiver unit in the
vehicle to monitor the tire pressures.
1. Tire pressure sensor
Warning and Cautions forUsing the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle at high
speeds if the TPMS warning light
is
turned on or flashing.
Driving the vehicle at high speeds
while the TPMS warning light is turned
on or flashing is dangerous because
the brake performance and the
steering wheel operability will be
reduced. If the vehicle is driven at high
speeds or the brakes are suddenly
applied, it could lead to an accident.
Gradually apply the brake and reduce
the vehicle speed.
Do not ignore the TPMS warning light
when it is turned on or flashing.
Continuing to driv e the vehicle while
ignoring the illumi nation/flashing of
the TPMS warning light is dangerous
because a tire may burst which could
lead to an accident. Take appropriate
measures as soon as possible.

Lane Departure WarningSystem (LDWS)
*
The LDWS notifies the driver that the
vehicle might be deviating from its
lane. If there is a possibility of your
vehicle deviating from the vehicle lane,
a screen display and a warning sound
notify the driver of the danger.
Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Lane
Departure Warning
System (LDWS)
WARNING
Do not rely comple tely on the LDWS.
 The LDWS has limitations. Do not
rely completely on the system and
always stay on course using the
steering wheel.
 The LDWS is not designed to
compensate for a driver’s lack of
caution and relying on the system
could lead to an accident.
CAUTION
Heed the following cautions so that
the LDWS can operate normally.
Do not modify the suspensions.
 Always use wheels of the
specified
size for the front and rear wheels.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for tire replacement.

Driver Attention Alert(DAA)
*
The DAA is a system that detects the
driver fatigue and decreased
attentiveness based on various types of
vehicle information, and encourages
the driver to take a rest using a screen
display and warning sound.
Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Driver
Attention Alert (DAA)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the DAA.
The DAA does not prevent driver
fatigue or decreased attentiveness and
over reliance on the system could lead
to an accident. Drive carefully and turn
the steering wheel appropriately.
In addition, the system may not be
able to correctly detect driver fatigue
or decreased attentiveness depending
on the road and driving conditions.
The driver must take sufficient rest in
consideration of safe driving.
