when it is necessary to park the vehicle
on a roadside due to a vehicle
breakdown or other emergency.
How to Use the HazardWarning Lights
The vehicle power is switched ON
All the turn signal lights flash, and the
turn signal light
and the hazard
warning light
in the instrument
cluster flash.
Press the switch again to turn off the
lights.
The vehicle power is switched to ACC
or OFF
All the turn signal lights flash and the

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.

CX-90_8KG7-EA-22L_Edition1_new 2022-11-17 16:05:04

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)

Convenient Ways to Usethe Traction Control System (TCS)
If the TCS OFF switch is pressed and
held for 10 seconds or longer, the TCS
operation can no longer be turned off
even if the TCS OFF switch is pressed.
In this case, the TCS OFF switch will
operate normally when the vehicle
power is switched ON again after
being switched OFF.

Dynamic Stability Control(DSC)
The DSC automatically controls
braking and hybrid system power
output in conjunct ion with systems
such as the ABS and TCS to help
control side slip when driving on
slippery surfaces, or during sudden or
evasive steering, which enhances
vehicle stability.
Also refer to Antilock Brake System
(ABS) 5-84, Traction Control System
(TCS) 5-85.
Warning and Cautions for
Using the Dynamic
Stability Control (DSC)
WARNING
Do not rely on the Dynamic Stability
Control as a substitute for safe
driving.
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
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.
CAUTION
 Heed the following cautions so that
the DSC can operate normally.
 Always use tires of the specified
size, same manufacturer, brand,
and pattern (tread pattern) for the
front and rear wheels.
 Do not use tires with
significantly
different wear patterns on the
same vehicle.
 Do not use tires with sizes other
than the specified size, different
type, and
significantly
different
wear patterns on the same vehicle.
 When using tires where the tire
diameter is changed due to the
installation of tire chains, or when
installing an emergency spare tire,
the DSC may not operate normally.
