Things to Be ObservedWhile Driving
WARNING
Never stop the hybrid system when
going down a hill.
Stopping the hybrid system when
going down a hill is dangerous. This
causes the loss of power steering and
power brake control, and may cause
damage to the drivetrain. Any loss of
steering or braking control could cause
an accident.
Be extremely careful if it is necessary
to downshift on slippery surfaces:
Downshifting into lower gear while
driving on slippery surfaces is
dangerous. The sudden change in tire
speed could cause the tires to skid.
This could lead to loss of vehicle
control and an accident.
Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed
and abrupt maneuvers when driving
this vehicle:
Sharp turns, excessive speed and
abrupt maneuvering of this vehicle are
dangerous as it could result in the
increased risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle roll-over, personal injury or
death.
This vehicle has a higher center of
gravity. Vehicles with a higher center of
gravity such as util ity vehicles handle
differently than vehicles with a lower
center of gravity.
Utility vehicles are not designed for
cornering at high speeds any more
than low profile sports cars are
designed to perfo rm satisfactorily
under off-road conditions.
In addition, utility vehicles have a
significantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.
Dry off brakes that have become wet
by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to normal.
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when
braking could result in a serious
accident. Light braking will indicate
whether the brakes have been
affected.
CAUTION
Do not drive the vehicle on flooded
roads as it could cause short
circuiting of electrical/electronic
parts, or engine damage or stalling
from water absorption. If the vehicle
has been immersed in water, consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

your vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
Refer to KEY Warning Light (Red) on
page 8-48.
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure
that the vehicle power is switched
OFF.

Warning and Cautions forUsing the Foot Brake
WARNING
Do not coast with the hybrid system
turned off, find a safe place to stop.
Coasting with the hybrid system turned
off is dangerous. Braking will require
more effort, and the brake's
power-assist could be depleted if you
pump the brake. This will cause longer
stopping distances or even an
accident.
Shift to a lower gear when going
down steep hills.
Driving with your foot continuously on
the brake pedal or steadily applying
the brakes for long distances is
dangerous. This causes overheated
brakes, resulting in longer stopping
distances or even total brake failure.
This could cause loss of vehicle control
and a serious accident. Avoid
continuous application of the brakes.
Dry off brakes that have become wet
by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to normal.
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when
braking could result in a serious
accident. Light braking will indicate
whether the brakes have been
affected.
Do not drive with worn disc pads.
Driving with worn disc pads is
dangerous. The brakes could fail and
cause a serious accident. As soon as
you hear a screeching noise consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
Do not drive with your foot held on
the brake pedal. Doing so could
result in the following:
The brake parts will wear out more
quickly.
The brakes can overheat and
adversely affect brake
performance.
Always depress the brake pedal with
the right foot. Applying the brakes
with the unaccustomed left foot
could slow your reaction time to an
emergency situation resulting in
insufficient braking operation.
Wear shoes appropriate for driving in
order to avoid your shoe contacting
the brake pedal when depressing the
accelerator pedal.

Electric Parking Brake(EPB)
The EPB system applies the parking
brake using a motor.
NOTE
If the parking brake is applied with the
vehicle power switched to OFF or
ACC, the EPB indicator light
in the
instrument cluster and the indicator
light in the switch may turn on for a
certain period of time.
Warning and Cautions for
Using the Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with the
parking brake applied.
If the vehicle is driven with the parking
brake applied, the brake parts may
generate heat and the brake system
may not operate, leading to an
accident. Before driving the vehicle,
release the parking brake and make
sure that the EPB indicator light
in
the instrument cluster turns off.
Apply the parking brake when leaving
the vehicle.
Not applying the parking brake when
parking the vehicle is dangerous as the
vehicle may move unexpectedly and
result in an accident. Before leaving the
vehicle, apply the parking brake and
make sure that the EPB indicator light
in the instrument cluster turns on.
CAUTION
Depress the brake pedal firmly
before doing a shift operation as the
vehicle may start moving
unexpectedly.
If something such as the driver's foot
contacts the accelerator pedal while
the hybrid system is operating and
the parking brake is applied, the
parking brake may be released
automatically and the vehicle may
move unexpectedly. If you do not
intend to start driving the vehicle
immediately, shift the selector lever
to the P or N position.
