Trailer Stability Control(TSC)
The TSC is a system that increases the
stability of the vehicle during towing.
When vehicle sway occurs during
towing, the TSC controls the output of
the brakes and the hybrid system to
suppress swaying.
Warning and Cautions forUsing the Trailer Stability Control (TSC)
WARNING
Do not rely solely on the Trailer
Stability Control (TSC).
Vehicle stability can be limited even if
the Trailer Stability Control (TSC) is
operating. Drive carefully to prevent
accidents. In particular, if the
TCS/DSC indicator light is flashing ,
drive the vehicle carefully as it is in a
less stable condition and could sway
more easily. Drive with caution and in
accordance with the road, vehicle and
trailer conditions.
CAUTION
 The Trailer Stability Control (TSC)
may not operate correctly unless the
following are observed:
 Use tires of the correct size
specified for your Mazda on all
four wheels.
 Use tires of the same
manufacturer, brand and tread
pattern on all four wheels.
 Do not mix worn tires.
 The Trailer Stability Control (TSC)
may not operate correctly when tire
chains are used or a temporary spare
tire is installed because the tire
diameter changes.

How to Use the TrailerStability Control (TSC)
Drive the vehicle at a speed of 65
km/h (40 mph) or faster.
The TSC is operable.
When the TSC operates, the TCS/DSC
operation indicator light
flashes.
NOTE
The Trailer Stability Control (TSC)
does not operate if there is a
malfunction in the TCS/DSC (the
TCS/DSC operation indicator light
turns on).When the Trailer Stability Control
(TSC) is operating, the brake lights
may turn on.
For information regarding trailer
towing , refer to Towing on page

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.

(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.
