When Driving
ABS/TCS/DSC
Dynamic Stability
Control (DSC)
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
automatically controls braking and engine
torque in conjunction with systems such
as ABS and TCS to help control side slip
when driving on slippery surfaces, or
during sudden or evasive maneuvering,
enhancing vehicle safety.
Refer to ABS (page 4-58 ) and TCS
(page 4-59 ).
DSC operation is possible at speeds
greater than 20 km/h (12 mph).
The warning light turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-25 .
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
¾ The DSC may not operate correctly
unless the following are observed:
¾ Use tires of the correct size specifi ed
for your Mazda on all four wheels.
¾ Use tires of the same manufacturer,
brand and tread pattern on all four
wheels.
¾ Do not mix worn tires.
¾ The DSC may not operate correctly when
tire chains are used or a temporary spare
tire is installed because the tire diameter
changes.
TCS/DSC Indicator Light
This indicator light stays on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
ON. If the TCS or DSC is operating, the
indicator light À ashes.
If the light stays on, the TCS, DSC
or the brake assist system may have a
malfunction and they may not operate
correctly. Take your vehicle to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

When Driving
Drive Selection
Drive Selection
Drive selection is a system to switch the vehicle's drive mode. When the sport mode
is selected, vehicle's response against accelerator operation is enhanced. This provides
additional quick acceleration which may be needed to safely make maneuvers such as lane
changes, merging onto freeways, or passing other vehicles.
CAUTION
Do not use the sport mode when driving on slippery roads such as wet or snow-covered
roads. It may cause tire slipping.
N O T E
y When the sport mode is selected, driving at higher engine speeds increases and it may
increase fuel consumption. Mazda recommends that you cancel the sport mode on normal
driving.
y Drive mode cannot be switched in the following conditions:
y ABS/TCS/DSC is operating
y The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) system/cruise control is operating.
y Steering wheel is being operated abruptly
Drive Selection Switch
Press the drive selection switch forward
(“
”) to select the sport mode.
Pull the drive selection switch back
(“
”) to cancel the sport mode.
N O T E
y When the ignition is switched off, the
sport mode is canceled.
y Depending on the driving conditions
when sport mode is selected, the vehicle
may perform shift-down or slightly
accelerate.
Select Mode Indicator Light
When the sport mode is selected, the
select mode indicator light turns on in the
instrument cluster.
N O T E
If the mode cannot be switched to drive
mode, the select mode indicator light
À ashes to notify the driver.

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.
The High Beam Control System (HBC)
determines that it is dark based on the
brightness of the surrounding area. At the
same time, the High Beam Control System
(HBC) indicator light (green) in the
instrument cluster illuminates.
N O T E
y When the vehicle speed is 30 km/h
(19 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.
y The low beams may not switch to high
beams when cornering.
y Operation of the High Beam Control
System (HBC) function can be disabled.
Refer to Personalization Features on
page 9-10 .
Manual Switching
Switching to low beams
Shift the lever to the low beam position.
The High Beam Control System (HBC)
indicator light (green) turns off.
Switching to high beams
Turn the headlight switch to the
position.
The High Beam Control System (HBC)
indicator light (green) turns off and the
is illuminated.

*Some models.
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) *
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) measures the distance between your
vehicle and a vehicle ahead using a radar sensor (front) while the vehicle speed is 30 km/h
or faster (19 mph or faster), and indicates a recommended distance to maintain between the
vehicles. Furthermore, if your vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more closely than the
appropriate distance to maintain between the vehicles, the vehicle-ahead indication in the
active driving display is À ashed to advise the driver to keep a safer distance from the vehicle
ahead.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) and always
drive carefully:
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) provides advice for safer driving and
notifi es the driver of a recommended, safer distance to maintain with a vehicle ahead.
The ability to detect a vehicle ahead is limited depending on the type of vehicle ahead,
the weather conditions, and the traffi c conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator and brake
pedals are not operated correctly it could lead to an accident. Always verify the safety of
the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a
safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.
N O T E
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) operates when all of the following
conditions are met:
y The ignition is switched ON.
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) is on.
y The selector lever is in a position other than reverse (R).
y The vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19 mph or faster). y The objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles.
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) may also operate in the presence of
motorcycles and bicycles.
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) may not operate normally under the
following conditions:
y The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) has a malfunction.
y The vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed.
y The system does not operate with the following objects:
y Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.
y Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)

NOTE
y When the ignition is switched off, the operation status before the system was turned off
is maintained. For example, if the ignition is switched off with the Distance Recognition
Support System (DRSS) operable, the system will be operable when the ignition is
switched ON the next time.
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) can be turned on/off and the system's
sensitivity can be changed.
