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.

Sit in the center of the seat and wear
seat belts properly.
Sitting too close to the side air bag
modules or placing hands on them, or
sleeping up against the door or
hanging out the windows is extremely
dangerous. The side and curtain air
bags inflate with great force and speed
directly expanding along the door on
the side the car is hit. Serious injury
could occur if someone is sitting too
close to the door or leaning against a
window, or if rear seat occupants grab
the sides of the front seatbacks. Give
the side and curtain air bags room to
work by sitting in the center of the seat
while the vehicle is moving with seat
belts worn properly.
Do not attach objects on or around
the area where air bags deploy.
Attaching objects to the air bags or
placing something in the area where
the air bags deploy is dangerous. In an
accident, an object could interfere with
air bag inflation and injure the
occupants. Furthermore, the bag could
be damaged causing gases to release.
Always keep the deployment area of
the air bag modules free of any
obstructions.
For example, you should not do any of
the following as it may interfere with
air bag deployment.
Do not put a covering on or lean
anything against areas such as the
dashboard and lower portion of the
instrument panel that blocks the
passenger front air bag and knee air
bags.
 Do not use seat covers on the front
seats and rear seats equipped with
in-seat side air bags.
 Do not hang any backpacks, bags or
pouches that cover the sides of the
seats that block the side air bags.Do not place any objects on the
assist grips. Only hang clothes
directly on the coat hooks.
Do not touch the components of the
supplemental restraint system after
the air bags have inflated.
Touching the components of the
supplemental restraint system after the
air bags have inflated is dangerous.
Immediately after inflation, they are
very hot. You could get burned.
Never install any front-end equipment
to your vehicle.
Installation of front-end equipment,
such as frontal protection bar
(kangaroo bar, bull bar, push bar, or
other similar devices), snowplow, or
winches, is dangerous. The air bag
crash sensor system could be affected.
This could cause air bags to inflate
unexpectedly, or it could prevent the
air bags from inflating during an
accident. Front occupants could be
seriously injured.
Do not modify the suspension.
Modifying the vehicle suspension is
dangerous. If the vehicle's height or
the suspension is modified, the vehicle
will be unable to accurately detect a
collision or roll-over accident resulting
in incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of
serious injuries.
To prevent false detection by the air
bag sensor system, heed the
following.
 Do not use tires or wheels other than
those
specified for your Mazda:

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.

Traction Control System(TCS)
The TCS prevents drive-wheel spinning
which occurs during acceleration from
a stop or acceleration during cornering
on slippery roads, such as wet or
snow-covered roads, and assures
optimum drive force and steerability.
Warning and Cautions forUsing the Traction
Control System (TCS)
WARNING
Do not rely on the Traction Control
System (TCS) as a substitute for safe
driving.
The Traction Control System (TCS)
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.
Use snow tires or tire chains and drive
at reduced speeds when roads are
covered with ice and/or snow.
Driving without proper traction devices
on snow and/or ice-covered roads is
dangerous. The Traction Control
System (TCS) alone cannot provide
adequate traction and you could still
have an accident.
