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.

Trailer Stability Control(TSC)
The TSC is a system that increases the
stability of the vehicle during towing.
When vehicle sway occurs during
towing, the TSC controls the output of
the brakes and the hybrid system to
suppress swaying.
Warning and Cautions forUsing the Trailer Stability Control (TSC)
WARNING
Do not rely solely on the Trailer
Stability Control (TSC).
Vehicle stability can be limited even if
the Trailer Stability Control (TSC) is
operating. Drive carefully to prevent
accidents. In particular, if the
TCS/DSC indicator light is flashing ,
drive the vehicle carefully as it is in a
less stable condition and could sway
more easily. Drive with caution and in
accordance with the road, vehicle and
trailer conditions.
CAUTION
 The Trailer Stability Control (TSC)
may not operate correctly unless the
following are observed:
 Use tires of the correct size
specified for your Mazda on all
four wheels.
 Use tires of the same
manufacturer, brand and tread
pattern on all four wheels.
 Do not mix worn tires.
 The Trailer Stability Control (TSC)
may not operate correctly when tire
chains are used or a temporary spare
tire is installed because the tire
diameter changes.

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.

Mazda intelligent DriveSelect (Mi-Drive)
Mi-Drive is a system that switches the
drive modes depending on the driving
conditions, road conditions and
vehicle conditions. The Mi-Drive has
the following driving modes.
TOWING Mode
*
The vehicle is driven with both engine
and motor power to optimize its
power performance. This mode
reduces the loss of driving
performance due to increased weight
when towing a trailer and improves the
vehicle stability.
SPORT Mode
The vehicle is driven with both engine
and motor power to optimize its
maneuverability performance. This
mode increases vehicle response when
the accelerator pedal is depressed and
accelerates powerfully.
NORMAL Mode
The vehicle is driven so that the engine
and motor are efficiently controlled to
optimize fuel efficiency. If necessary,
the motor can be used as a generator
to charge the high voltage battery. In
addition, when the accelerator pedal is
depressed, the vehicle accelerates
using both engine and motor power.
When the vehicle is driven in NORMAL
mode only by motor power, the EV
drive indicator light
in the
instrument cluster turns on.
EV Mode
The vehicle is driven by motor power
using the electrical power stored in the
high voltage battery.
OFF-ROAD Mode
The vehicle is driven with both engine
and motor power to optimize its
power performance. This mode
prevents the drive wheels from
spinning during off-road driving and
improves the running performance.

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.
