If dirt or ice is adheres to the top of
the rain sensor on the windshield
and the windshield wipers cannot
remove the dirt or ice even after the
wipers operate several times, the
auto wipers will stop operating. If
the auto wipers stopped, remove the
dirt and ice from the windshield.
The auto wipers could operate from
the effect of strong light sources,
electromagnetic waves, or infrared
light because the rain sensor uses an
optical sensor. It is recommended
that the auto-wiper lever be
switched to the OFF position other
than when driving the vehicle under
rainy conditions.
Changing sensitivity of auto wipers
The rain sensitivity level can be
adjusted by rotating the switch.
1. Higher sensitivity
2. Normal
3. Less sensitivity
Using the Intermittent Wiper
*
The wipers operate intermittently.
Changing the intermittent operation
time
The intermittent operation time can be
adjusted by turning the switch.
1. Fast
2. Normal
3. Slow
Using the Windshield Wipers
Using continuously
Set the lever to the LO or HI position.
In the LO position, the windshield
wipers operate at low speed. In the HI
position, the wipers operate at high
speed.

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

Hill Descent Control*
The hill descent control is a system that
maintains a constant vehicle speed
when the vehicle descends a steep
slope, off-road or on a snowy road. As
the low speed can be maintained
without operating the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal, the driver
can concentrate on the steering wheel
operation.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Hill Descent Control
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the hill
descent control.
If necessary, depress the brake pedal
on a slippery road surface such as
extremely steep slope s, icy roads, or
mud or gravel roads. Failure to
maintain a constant low speed may
result in an unexpected accident.
Always drive carefully.

How to Use the HillDescent Control
Using the Hill Descent Control
1. When the vehicle speed is about 25 km/h (15 mph) or slower, press the
hill descent control switch.
The hill descent control is operable,
and the hill descent control
indicator light (white)
turns on.
2. Depress the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal to drive the vehicle
at a speed between about 3 km/h
and 20 km/h (2 and 12 mph).
3. Release the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal when the desired
target speed is reached.
The hill descent control operates,
the hill descent control indicator
light (white)
changes to the hill
descent control indicator light
(green)
, and then the target
speed is displayed.
The brake lights turn on while the
hill descent control is operating.
NOTE
If the braking system is overheated
after using the hill descent control for
a long time, the operation of the hill
descent control may be temporarily
stopped. When the operation of the
hill descent control stops, a warning
sound is activated and the hill
descent control indicator light turns off.
The hill descent control may not be
available due to a system
malfunction in the following cases.
Have your vehicle inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
The hill descent control indicator
light does not turn on even if the
hill descent control switch is
pressed.
The TCS/DSC operation indicator
light turns on.
The hill descent control is not
available while Mazda Radar Cruise
Control (MRCC) or Cruising & Traffic
Support (CTS) is operating.

Mazda intelligent DriveSelect (Mi-Drive)
Mi-Drive is a system that switches the
drive modes depending on the driving
conditions, road conditions and
vehicle conditions. The Mi-Drive has
the following driving modes.
TOWING Mode
*
The vehicle is driven with both engine
and motor power to optimize its
power performance. This mode
reduces the loss of driving
performance due to increased weight
when towing a trailer and improves the
vehicle stability.
SPORT Mode
The vehicle is driven with both engine
and motor power to optimize its
maneuverability performance. This
mode increases vehicle response when
the accelerator pedal is depressed and
accelerates powerfully.
NORMAL Mode
The vehicle is driven so that the engine
and motor are efficiently controlled to
optimize fuel efficiency. If necessary,
the motor can be used as a generator
to charge the high voltage battery. In
addition, when the accelerator pedal is
depressed, the vehicle accelerates
using both engine and motor power.
When the vehicle is driven in NORMAL
mode only by motor power, the EV
drive indicator light
in the
instrument cluster turns on.
EV Mode
The vehicle is driven by motor power
using the electrical power stored in the
high voltage battery.
OFF-ROAD Mode
The vehicle is driven with both engine
and motor power to optimize its
power performance. This mode
prevents the drive wheels from
spinning during off-road driving and
improves the running performance.

Warning and Cautions forUsing the Mazda
intelligent Drive Select
(Mi-Drive)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
Mi-Drive system.
Vehicle stability is limited even when
Mi-Drive is activated. Always drive the
vehicle safely. Do not drive the vehicle
recklessly, otherwise it may result in an
accident.
Do not use OFF-ROAD mode when
driving on a paved road.
Use Off-road mode when driving on
slippery roads such as muddy, sandy,
or deep-snowy road s. During normal
driving, use normal mode.
CAUTION
 Do not use the sport mode when
driving on slippery roads such as wet
or snow-covered roads. It may cause
tire slipping.
 Heed the following cautions so that
the system 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.
 Drive carefully when using tire
chains. Because the diameter of the
tires
differs, the system may not
operate normally.
How to Use the Mazda
intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive)
1. Push the Mi-Drive switch forwardor pull it toward you.
2. While checking the list displayed inthe instrument cluster, push the
Mi-Drive switch forward or pull it
toward you to select a drive mode.
When the drive mode is set, the
display in the instrument cluster
changes.

(SPORT Mode)
(NORMAL Mode)
(EV Mode)
(OFF-ROAD Mode)
NOTE
TOWING mode can be selected only
when electrically connected to the
trailer using a Mazda genuine trailer
hitch. In addition, it may take some
time until the connection is detected
and TOWING mode is displayed.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for details.
Depending on driving conditions
when selecting TOWING mode/
SPORT mode/OFF-ROAD mode, the
vehicle may perform shift-down or
accelerate slightly.
When SPORT mode/OFF-ROAD
mode is selected, driving the vehicle
at higher engine speeds increases
and fuel economy may worsen.
Canceling SPORT mode/OFF-ROAD
mode during normal driving is
recommended.
When setting the Mazda Radar
Cruise Control (MRCC) while driving
in SPORT mode, the mode is
switched to NORMAL mode. In
addition, while the MRCC is being
used, the mode cannot be switched
to SPORT mode.
Switching to EV mode may not be
possible depending on the driving
operations, driving conditions, and
high voltage battery condition.
When the system determines that
the engine needs to be started while
the vehicle is being driven in EV
mode, the mode is switched to
NORMAL mode.
The remaining distance-to-full
discharge for EV mode may
decrease, even when the vehicle is
being driven in a mode other than
EV mode.
The maximum speed in EV mode is
140 km/h (86 mph).
The drive mode cannot be switched
in the following cases.
The Antilock Brake System (ABS) is
operating.
The Traction Control System (TCS)
is operating.
The Dynamic Stability Control
(DSC) is operating.
The steering wheel is being
operated abruptly.
The driving mode in which the
display in the instrument cluster is
grayed out cannot be selected.
When the vehicle power is switched
OFF, the mode returns to NORMAL
mode. However, TOWING mode
before switching the vehicle power
OFF is maintained only when the
trailer is connected in TOWING
mode.
