Antilock Brake System(ABS)
The ABS prevents the wheels from
locking, caused by braking on slippery
roads, and maintains driving
directional stability and ensures
steerability.
NOTE
When depressing the brake pedal,
slight vibration might be felt from the
pedal. This vibration is a normal
occurrence when the ABS operates.
ABS does not operate at low speeds
(about 10 km/h (6.2 mph) or
slower).
Warning and Cautions forUsing the Antilock Brake System (ABS)
WARNING
Do not rely on the ABS as a substitute
for safe driving.
The ABS cannot compensate for unsafe
and reckless driving, excessive speed,
tailgating (following another vehicle
too closely), driving on ice and snow,
and hydroplaning (reduced tire friction
and road contact because of water on
the road surface). You can still have an
accident.
CAUTION
Always use tires of the specified size
and type for the front and rear wheels.
If a tire other than the specified size or
type is installed, the ABS system may
not operate normally.

How to Use the TractionControl System (TCS)
Switch the vehicle power ON.
The TCS is operable.
When the TCS operates, the TCS/DSC
operation indicator light
flashes.
Stopping the TCS Operation
The TCS operation is canceled and the
TCS OFF indicator light
in the
instrument cluster and the TCS OFF
switch indicator light turn on.
Press the TCS OFF switch again to
enable the TCS operation.
NOTE
If the hybrid system is stopped while
the TCS operation is canceled, the
TCS becomes operational when the
hybrid system is started the next
time.
When the TCS is on and you attempt
to free the vehicle from being stuck,
the TCS will activate. Depressing the
accelerator will not increase engine
power and freeing the vehicle from
being stuck might be difficult. When
this happens, turn off the TCS.
If the TCS is canceled and the
following systems are operated, the
TCS becomes operational.
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC)
Cruising & Traffic Support (CTS)

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.

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.
