Do not let the vehicle move in a direction
opposite to the direction selected by the
selector lever:
Do not let the vehicle move backward with
the selector lever in a forward position, or
do not let the vehicle move forward with
the selector lever in the reverse position.
Otherwise, the engine may stop, causing
the loss of the power brake and power
steering functions, and make it difficult to
control the vehicle which could result in an
accident.

NOTE
xThe accelerator pedal may initially feel
heavy as it is being depressed, then feel
lighter as it is depressed further. This
change in pedal force aids the engine
control system in determining how much
the accelerator pedal has been
depressed for performing kickdown, and
functions to control whether or not
kickdown should be performed.
xWhile the selector lever is in the M
position and the DSC is turned off,
manual shift mode does not switch to
automatic shift mode even if the
accelerator pedal is completely
depressed. Operate the selector lever.

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.
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.
Do not use 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.
Immediately depress the brake pedal in the following cases:
Because the AUTOHOLD function is cancelled forcibly, the vehicle may move unexpectedly
and result in an accident.
¾The brake pedal operation demand warning light (red) flashes and the warning sound is
activated at the same time.
(Red)
¾[Brake Hold Unavailable Depress Brake to Hold Position] is displayed in the
multi-information display and the warning sound is activated at the same time.

NOTE
If the vehicle is driven while the message
is displayed, a beep sound is heard.
If you turn the steering wheel while the
message is displayed, it will feel heavier
than normal, but this does not indicate an
abnormality. Stop the vehicle in a safe
location with the engine running and do
not attempt to turn the steering wheel. The
steering operation will return to normal
after the message is no longer displayed.

increase fuel consumption. Mazda recommends that you cancel the sport mode on normal
driving.
xDrive mode cannot be switched in the following conditions:
xABS/TCS/DSC is operating
xThe Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function) System/Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system/cruise control is
operating.

The functions of the LDWS have limitations:
Always stay on course using the steering wheel and drive with care. The system is not
designed to compensate for a driver’s lack of caution and if you rely too much on the LDWS it
could lead to an accident. The driver is responsible for assuring lane changes and other
manoeuvres. Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is travelling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1
Do not modify the suspension. If the vehicle height or the damping force of the suspensions is
changed, the LDWS may not operate correctly.
NOTE
xIf your vehicle deviates from its traffic lane, the LDWS operates (warning sound and
indicator light). Steer the vehicle adequately to drive the vehicle to the centre of the lane.
xWhen the direction indicator lever is operated for a lane change, the LDWS warning is
automatically cancelled. The LDWS warning becomes operable when the direction
indicator lever is returned and the system detects the white or yellow lines.
xIf the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the
vehicle moves close to a white or yellow line, the system determines that the driver is
making a lane change and the LDWS warning is automatically cancelled.
xThe LDWS may not operate during the period immediately after the vehicle has deviated
from its lane and the LDWS has operated, or the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly
within a short period of time.
xThe LDWS does not operate if it does not detect the white or yellow lines of the traffic
lane.
xUnder the following conditions, the LDWS may not be able to detect white or yellow lines
correctly and the LDWS may not operate correctly.
xIf an object placed on the instrument panel is reflected in the windscreen and picked up
by the camera.
xHeavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat and the
vehicle is inclined.
xThe tyre pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.
xWhen the vehicle is driven on the entry and exit to or from the rest area or tollgate of a
highway.
xThe white or yellow lines are less visible because of dirt or paint flaking.
xThe vehicle ahead is running near a white or yellow line and the line is less visible.
xA white or yellow line is less visible because of bad weather (rain, fog, or snow).
xThe vehicle is driven on a temporary lane or section with a closed lane due to
construction.

Do not rely completely on DAA and always drive carefully:
The DAA detects driver fatigue and decreased attentiveness and encourages the driver to take
a rest, however, it is not designed to prevent the vehicle from straying. If you rely too much on
the DAA it could lead to an accident. Drive carefully and operate the steering wheel
appropriately.
In addition, the system may not be able to detect driver fatigue and decreased attentiveness
correctly depending on the traffic and driving conditions. The driver must take sufficient rest
in consideration of safer driving.
NOTE
xThe DAA operates when all of the following conditions are met.

Do not rely completely on the LAS & LDWS:
¾The LAS & LDWS is not an automatic driving system. In addition, the system is not designed
to compensate for a driver's lack of caution, and over-reliance on the system could lead to
an accident.
¾The detection ability of the LAS & LDWS is limited. Always stay on course using the steering
wheel and drive with care.
Do not use the LAS & LDWS in the following cases:
The system may not operate adequately according to the actual driving conditions, resulting
in an accident.
¾Driving on roads with tight curves.
¾Driving under bad weather conditions (rain, fog, and snow).
¾Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound roads.
¾Roads with heavy traffic and insufficient distance between vehicles.
¾Roads with no white (yellow) lane lines.
¾Narrow roads resulting from road construction or lane closures.
¾The vehicle is driven on a temporary lane or section with a closed lane resulting from road
construction where there may be multiple white (yellow) lane lines or they are interrupted.
¾Vehicle is driven on roads other than expressways and highways.
¾The tyre pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.
¾Tyres of a different specified size are used, such as an emergency spare tyre.
& $ 8 7 , 2 1

¾Do not modify the suspensions.
¾Always use wheels of the specified type and size for the front and rear wheels. Consult an
expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer for tyre replacement.
NOTE
xWhen the direction indicator lever is operated for a lane change, the LAS & LDWS is
automatically disabled. The LAS & LDWS becomes operational again when the direction
indicator lever is returned and the system detects white (yellow) lane lines while the
vehicle is being driven normally within its vehicle lane.

xIf the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the
vehicle moves close to a white (yellow) line, the system determines that the driver is
making a lane change and the LAS & LDWS operation is temporarily cancelled. The LAS
& LDWS becomes operational again when the system detects white (yellow) lane lines
while the vehicle is being driven normally within its vehicle lane.
xIf the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly within a short period of time, the LAS &
LDWS may not operate.

x(When the timing of the steering assist
is set to “Late”)
xThe LAS & LDWS does not operate
until the system detects white (yellow)
lane lines on either the left or right.
xWhen the system detects a white
(yellow) lane line on one side only, the
system will not operate the steering
wheel operation assist and the
warning for the lane line on the side
that is not being detected. The
steering wheel operation assist and
the warning is only for a lane
deviation on the side that is being
detected.
x(When the timing of the steering assist
is set to “Early”)
xWhen the steering assist timing is set
to “Early”, the LAS & LDWS does
not operate until the system detects
white (yellow) lane lines on the left
and right. The steering wheel
operation assist timing operates under
the “Late” condition only when the
system detects a white (yellow) line on
either the left or right.
xThe steering wheel operation assist is
performed so that the vehicle remains
near the centre of the driving lane,
however, depending on conditions
such as the road curvature, road slope
and undulations, and vehicle speed,
the system may not be able to keep the
vehicle near the centre of the driving
lane.
