When Driving
ABS/TCS/DSC
Antilock Brake System
(ABS)
The ABS control unit continuously
monitors the speed of each wheel. If
one wheel is about to lock up, the ABS
responds by automatically releasing and
reapplying that wheel's brake.
The driver will feel a slight vibration in
the brake pedal and may hear a chattering
noise from the brake system. This is
normal ABS system operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal without pumping
the brakes.
The warning light turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-21 .
WARNING
Do not rely on 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.
NOTE
y Braking distances may be longer on
loose surfaces (snow or gravel, for
example) which usually have a hard
foundation. A vehicle with a normal
braking system may require less
distance to stop under these conditions
because the tires will build up a wedge
of surface layer when the wheels skid.
y The sound of the ABS operating may
be heard when starting the engine
or immediately after starting the
vehicle, however, it does not indicate a
malfunction.

When Driving
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System *
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the drive\
r by monitoring
blind spots on both sides of the vehicle to the rear in certain situatio\
ns such as when
changing lanes on roads and freeways or reversing the vehicle from a par\
king garage.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System consists of the Blind Spot Moni\
toring (BSM)
and Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA).
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system. Always look over
your shoulder before changing lanes or reversing the vehicle from a parking garage:
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system can assist the driver in confi rming the safety of
the surroundings but is not a complete substitute. The driver is responsible for assuring
lane changes and other maneuvers. Always pay attention to the direction in which the
vehicle is traveling and the vehicle's surroundings.
NOTE
y The detectability of the radar sensors has its limitations. The Blind Sp\
ot Monitoring
(BSM) System may not operate properly under the following conditions:
y Ice, snow, or soil adheres to the rear bumper surface around the radar sensors. y During adverse weather conditions such as rain or snow, or under conditions where
water is sprayed.
y The rear bumper area around the radar sensors is blocked by foreign material (such as
stickers or a bicycle carrier).
y The radar sensors do not detect human, animal, shopping cart, bicycle, o\
r static objects
such as fences.
y The radar sensors may not detect all types of vehicles around your vehicle, especially the
following types of vehicles:
y Motorcycles y Vehicles with body shapes that radar may not refl ect such as a fl atbed trailer with no
cargo.
y Vehicles with lower body height such as sports cars.
y Although the system may detect objects on the road side such as parked vehicles or
guardrails and operate the warning light/beep, it does not indicate a malfun\
ction.
y If the vehicle is driven on a road with less traffi c and few vehicles that the radar sensors
can detect, the system may pause (the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF\
indicator light
in the instrument cluster fl ashes). However, it does not indicate a malfunction.

When Driving
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
Auto cancel
Under the following conditions, the
LDWS is automatically canceled and
kept on stand-by, and the LDWS warning
light (amber) in the instrument cluster
illuminates.
y The system cannot detect white or
yellow lines.
y The vehicle speed is less than about 65
km/h (40 mph).
y The vehicle is making a sharp turn. y The vehicle is making a turn at an
inadequate speed.
y The temperature inside the camera is
high or low.
y The windshield around the camera is
foggy.
y The windshield around the camera is
blocked by an obstruction, causing poor
forward visibility.
The lane indication (bordered line) is
indicated in the active driving display
(Type A instrument cluster
*1 ) or the multi
information display (Type B instrument
cluster
*1 ).
The LDWS is automatically enabled when
the condition changes and the system is
operable.
*1 To determine which instrument cluster is equipped on your Mazda, Refer to
Meters and Gauges on page 4-11 .
Auto cancel of warning
Under the following conditions, the
LDWS determines that the driver is
making lane changes and the warning is
automatically canceled.
The LDWS is automatically enabled after
the operation.
y The steering wheel is operated abruptly. y The brake pedal is depressed abruptly. y The accelerator pedal is depressed
abruptly.
y A turn signal lever is operated (after the
turn signal lever is returned, the LDWS
warning may not operate for about 3
seconds which is the period of time
required to make a lane correction).
NOTE
y After about 5 seconds have elapsed
with the turn signal lever left operating,
the LDWS warning may operate if the
vehicle is close to a white or yellow line.
y The sensitivity of the warning
(sensitivity with which the system
determines the driver's intentional lane
change) can be changed.
Refer to Personalization Features on page 9-12 .
Canceling The System
To cancel the LDWS, press the LDWS
switch. The LDWS indicator light (Green/
Amber) in the instrument cluster turns off.
The lane indication displayed in the
active driving display (Type A instrument
cluster
*1 ) or the multi information display
(Type B instrument cluster *1 ) turns off.
