Switches and Controls
Hazard Warning Flasher
The hazard warning lights should always
be used when you stop on or near a
roadway in an emergency.
The hazard warning lights warn other
drivers that your vehicle is a traffi c hazard
and that they must take extreme caution
when near it.

Depress the hazard warning fl asher and
all the direction indicators will fl ash. The
hazard warning indicator lights in the
instrument cluster fl ash simultaneously.
NOTE

 The direction indicators do not work
when the hazard warning lights are
on.
  Check local regulations about the use
of hazard warning lights while the
vehicle is being towed to verify that
it is not in violation of the law.
  If the brake pedal is depressed
while driving on slippery roads, the
emergency stop signal system could
operate causing all the turn and lane
change signals to fl ash. Refer to
Emergency Stop Signal System on
page 4-79 .
  While the emergency stop signal
system is operating, all the direction
indicators automatically fl ash rapidly
to caution the driver of a vehicle
following behind your vehicle of a
sudden braking situation. Refer to
Emergency Stop Signal System on
page 4-79 .

ABS/TCS/DSC
TCS OFF Indicator Light
This indicator light stays on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched ON.
It also illuminates when the TCS OFF
switch is pressed and TCS is switched off.
Refer to TCS OFF Switch on page 4-83 .
If the light remains illuminated and the
TCS is not switched off, take your vehicle
to an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer. The DSC may
have a malfunction.
TCS OFF Switch
Press the TCS OFF switch to turn off the
TCS. The TCS OFF indicator light in the
instrument cluster will illuminate.
Press the switch again to turn the TCS
back on. The TCS OFF indicator light will
turn off.
NOTE
  When TCS is on and you attempt to
free the vehicle when it is stuck, or
drive it out of freshly fallen snow, the
TCS (part of the DSC system) will
activate. Depressing the accelerator
will not increase engine power and
freeing the vehicle may be diffi cult.
When this happens, turn off the TCS.
  If the TCS is off when the engine is
turned off, it automatically activates
when the ignition is switched ON.
  Leaving the TCS on will provide the
best traction.
  If the TCS OFF switch is pressed and
held for 10 seconds or more, the TCS
OFF switch malfunction detection
function operates and the TCS
system activates automatically. The
TCS OFF indicator light turns off
while the TCS system is operative.

To Operate the System
The High Beam Control System (HBC)
operates to switch the headlights
automatically between high and low
beams after the ignition is switched ON
and the headlight switch is in the AUTO
and high beam position. At the same time,
the High Beam Control System (HBC)
indicator light (green) in the instrument
cluster illuminates.
The High Beam Control System (HBC)
determines that it is dark based on the
brightness of the surrounding area.
NOTE
  When the vehicle speed is 30 km/h
(18 mph) or higher, the headlights
automatically switch to high beams
when there are no vehicles ahead
or approaching in the opposite
direction.
 When the vehicle speed is less
than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the
High Beam Control System (HBC)
switches the headlights to low
beams.
  The low beams may not switch to
high beams when cornering.
  Operation of the High Beam Control
System (HBC) function can be
disabled. Refer to Personalisation
Features on page 9-13 .

or yellow line on one side only, the
system will activate the warning only
when the vehicle deviates on the side
where the white or yellow line is
being detected.
  The distance and warning sensitivity
(likelihood of a warning) which
the system uses to determine the
possibility of a lane departure can be

indicator light remains illuminated, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorised Mazda
Dealer as soon as possible.
 


 Some problem with the system including the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning
lights is detected.
 


 A large deviation in the installation position of a radar sensor (rear) on the vehicle
has occurred.
 


 There is a large accumulation of snow or ice on the rear bumper near a radar sensor
(rear). Remove any snow, ice or mud on the rear bumper.
 


 Driving on snow-covered roads for long periods.



 The temperature near the radar sensors (rear) becomes extremely hot due to driving
for long periods on slopes during the summer.
 


 The battery voltage has decreased. 

 Under the following conditions, the radar sensors (rear) cannot detect target objects or
it may be diffi cult to detect them.




 A vehicle is in the detection area at the rear in an adjacent driving lane but it does
not approach. The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system determines the condition
based on radar detection data.
 


 A vehicle is travelling alongside your vehicle at nearly the same speed for an
extended period of time.
 


 Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.



 A vehicle in an adjacent driving lane is attempting to pass your vehicle.

Adjustable Speed Limiter *
The adjustable speed limiter is a function to prevent the vehicle from being driven at a
vehicle speed faster than a set speed. The vehicle speed is controlled to kept it below the set
speed even if the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The adjustable speed limiter can be set between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 200 km/h (125 mph).
The vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when the vehicle is driven on a down slope,
however, the system notifi es the driver by fl ashing the display and operating a warning
sound.
WARNING
Always turn off the system when changing drivers:
If the driver is changed and the new driver is unaware of the adjustable speed limiter
function, the vehicle may not accelerate when the driver depresses the accelerator
pedal, leading to an accident.
The system consists of the adjustable speed limiter display and the speed limiter switch on
the steering wheel.
