AUTOHOLD
AUTOHOLD is a function to keep the
vehicle stopped by applying the brakes
even if you take your foot off the brake
pedal while the vehicle is stopped. This
function reduces the burden on the
driver while the vehicle is stopped,
such as at traffic lights.
Warning and Cautions for
Using the AUTOHOLD
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
AUTOHOLD function.
The AUTOHOLD function is only
designed to assist the brake operation
while the vehicle is stopped.
Neglecting to operate the brakes and
relying only on the AUTOHOLD system
is dangerous and could result in an
unexpected accident if the vehicle
were to suddenly move. Operate the
brakes appropriately in accordance
with the road and surrounding
conditions. Note that the vehicle may
move suddenly depending on the
vehicle’s load or if it is towing
something.
Do not release your foot from the
brake pedal while the vehicle is
stopped on a steep grade.
Because there is a possibility of the
vehicle not being held in the stopped
position by the AUTOHOLD function,
the vehicle may move unexpectedly
and result in an accident.
Refrain from using the AUTOHOLD
function on slippery roads such as icy
or snow-covered roads, or unpaved
roads.
Even if the vehicle is held in the
stopped position by the AUTOHOLD
function, the vehicle may move
unexpectedly and result in an accident.
Operate the accelerator pedal, brakes,
or steering wheel appropriately as
necessary.

How to Use the TurnSignal Lever
When the lever is operated, the turn
signal lights flash/turn
off.
Using the Turn Signal Lever
Turning left or right
Operate the lever to the 1 or 4
position.
Each turn signal light flashes and the
turn signal light
in the
instrument cluster flashes.
The lever returns to its original position
in conjunction with the steering wheel
operation. If it does not return, return
it by hand.
Changing lanes
Operate the lever to the 2 or 3
position.
While the lever is in the 2 or 3
position, each turn signal light flashes
and the turn signal light
in the
instrument cluster flashes.
If you move the lever to the 2 or 3
position and release it immediately,
the three-flash turn signal operates and
the turn signal light flashes 3 times.
NOTE
The volume of the turn signal lever
sound can be changed.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
The three-flash turn signal can be
turned off.
Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.

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.

Power Steering
The power steering operates while the
hybrid system is operating.
Even when the hybrid system is
stopped or the power steering system
does not operate, steering is possible
but the operation may feel heavier
compared to normal.

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.
