Distance & Speed Alert
(DSA)
*
▼Distance & Speed Alert (DSA)
The DSA is a system which provides
advice for maintaining the appropriate
distance between vehicles and
notifies
the driver of the recommended, safe
distance to maintain with a vehicle
ahead. The system measures the
distance between your vehicle and a
vehicle ahead while the vehicle speed
is about 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster. If
the distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead is continuously
close, the system alerts the driver of a
possible collision using an indication
on the display and suppresses your
vehicle speed
*1 to prevent it from
approaching the vehicle ahead too
closely.
*1 The function which suppresses your
vehicle speed is not available in
some markets.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
DSA:
The ability of the system to detect a
vehicle ahead is limited depending on
the type of vehicle ahead, weather
conditions, or traffic conditions. In
addition, the system is not for
maintaining the distance between your
vehicle and a vehicle ahead. If you
neglect to operate the accelerator and
brake pedals correctly, it could lead to
an accident. Always check the safety of
the surrounding area and depress the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal while
keeping a safe distance from vehicles
ahead or on-coming vehicles.
Operation conditions
The DSA operates when the following
conditions are all met.
xThe ignition is switched ON.xThe DSA is turned on.xThe shift lever (manual transmission
vehicle) or the selector lever
(automatic transmission vehicle) is in
a position other than R.
xThe vehicle speed is about 30 km/h
(19 mph) or faster.
xi-ACTIVSENSE status symbol
(warning/risk avoidance support
system) (green) is displayed.
NOTE
xThe objects which activate the
system are four-wheeled vehicles.
xThe DSA may also operate in the
presence of motorcycles and
bicycles.
xThe DSA may not operate normally
when the speed of a vehicle ahead is
too slow.
xThe system does not operate with
the following objects.
xVehicles approaching in the

xNarrow lane roads due to road
construction or lane closures.
xThe vehicle ahead enters the radar
sensor's blind spot.
xThe vehicle ahead is running
abnormally due to accident or
vehicle damage.
xRoads with repeated up and down
slopes
xDriving on poor roads or unpaved
roads.
xThe distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead is extremely
short.
xA vehicle suddenly comes close,
such as by cutting into your lane.
xTo prevent incorrect operation of the
system, use tyres of the same
specified size, manufacturer, brand,
and tread pattern on all four wheels.
In addition, do not use tyres with
significantly different wear patterns
or tyre pressures on the same vehicle
(Including the temporary spare tyre).
xIf the battery power is weak, the
system may not operate correctly.
xWhen driving on roads with little
traffic and few vehicles ahead or
obstructions for the front radar
sensor to detect, “Safety and Driver
Support Systems Temporarily
Disabled. Front Radar Obscured.
Drive Safely” may be temporarily
displayed, however, this does not
indicate a problem.
xThe radar sensors are regulated by
the relevant radio wave laws of the
country in which the vehicle is
driven. If the vehicle is driven
abroad, authorization from the
country in which the vehicle is driven
may be required.
Front Side Radar Sensor*
▼Front Side Radar Sensor
Your vehicle is equipped with front
side radar sensor. The following
systems also use the front side radar
sensor.
xFront Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA)
The front side radar sensor function by
detecting the radio waves reflected off
a vehicle approaching from the front or
an obstruction sent from the radar
sensor.
1. Front side radar sensor

The front side radar sensors are
installed inside the front bumper, one
on each side.
Always keep the surface of the front
bumper near the front side radar
sensors clean so that they operate
normally. Also, do not apply items such
as stickers.
Refer to Exterior Care on page 6-54.
CAUTION
If the front bumper receives a severe
impact, the system may no longer
operate normally. Stop the system
immediately and have the vehicle
inspected at an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer).

Ty re s
▼Ty re s
For reasons of proper performance,
safety, and better fuel economy, always
maintain recommended tyre
inflation
pressures and stay within the
recommended load limits and weight
distribution.
WARNING
Using
Different Ty re Ty p e s :
Driving your vehicle with different
types of tyres is dangerous. It could
cause poor handling and poor braking;
leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the
temporary spare tyre, use only the
same type tyres (radial, bias-belted,
bias-type) on all four wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tyres:
Using any other tyre size than what is
specified for the vehicle (page 9-10)
is dangerous. It could seriously affect
ride, handling, ground clearance, tyre
clearance, and speedometer
calibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Use only tyres that
are the correct size specified for the
vehicle.
▼Tyre Inflation Pressure
WARNING
Always inflate the tyres to the correct
pressure:
Overinflation or underinflation of tyres
is dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tyre failure could result in
a serious accident.
Refer to Tyres on page 9-10.
Use only a Mazda-genuine tyre valve
cap:
Use of a non-genuine part is
dangerous as the correct tyre air
pressure cannot be maintained if the
tyre valve becomes damaged. If the
vehicle is driven under this condition,
the tyre air pressure will decrease
which could result in a serious
accident. Do not use any part for the
tyre valve cap that is not a
Mazda-genuine part.
Inspect all tyre pressures monthly when
the tyres are cold. Maintain
recommended pressures for the best
ride, handling, and minimum tyre
wear.
Refer to the specification charts (page
9-10).
NOTE
xAlways check tyre pressure when
tyres are cold.
xWarm tyres normally exceed
recommended pressures. Do not
release air from warm tyres to adjust
the pressure.
xUnderinflation can cause reduced
fuel economy, uneven and
accelerated tyre wear, and poor
sealing of the tyre bead, which will
deform the wheel and cause
separation of tyre from rim.
xOverinflation can produce a harsh
ride, uneven and accelerated tyre
wear, and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.
Keep your tyre pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs
inflating, have it inspected.

Towing Description
▼Towing Description
We recommend that towing be done
only by an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) or a commercial tow-truck
service.

Proper lifting and towing are necessary
to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Particularly when towing a AWD
vehicle, where all the wheels are
connected to the drive train, proper
transporting of the vehicle is absolutely
essential to avoid damaging the drive
system. Government and local laws
must be followed.
1. Wheel dollies

A towed FWD vehicle should have its
drive wheels (front wheels)
off the
ground. If excessive damage or other
conditions prevent this, use wheel
dollies.

When towing a FWD vehicle with the
rear wheels on the ground, release the
parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB) on
page 4-70.

A towed AWD vehicle must have all its
wheels
off the ground.
WARNING
Always tow a AWD vehicle with all
four wheels
off the ground:
Towing a AWD vehicle with either the
front or rear wheels on the ground is
dangerous as the drive train could be
damaged, or the vehicle could trail
away from the tow truck and cause an
accident. If the drive train has been
damaged, transport the vehicle on a
flatbed truck.
CAUTION
¾Do not tow the vehicle pointed
backward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the transmission.
¾Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. This could damage your
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed
equipment.
If Trouble Arises
Emergency Towing
7-46

¾If the parking brake cannot be
released when towing the vehicle,
transport the vehicle with all front
and rear wheels raised off the ground
as shown in the figure. If the vehicle
is towed without raising the wheels
off the ground, the brake system
could be damaged.
1. Wheel dollies
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, the vehicle may be towed
with all four wheels on the ground
using the towing hook at the front of
the vehicle.
Only tow the vehicle on paved surfaces
for short distances at low speeds.
CAUTION
Follow these instructions when towing
the vehicle with all wheels on the
ground.
1. Shift to neutral (Manual
transmission), or the N position
(Automatic transmission).
2. Switch the ignition to ON.
3. Release the parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
on page 4-70.
Remember that power assist for the
brakes and steering will not be
available when the engine is not
running.
Towing Hooks
▼Towing Hooks
CAUTION
¾The towing eyelet should be used in
an emergency (to get the vehicle out
of a ditch or a snow bank, for
example).
¾When using the towing eyelets,
always pull the lead or chain in a
straight direction with respect to the
eyelet. Never apply a sideways force.
NOTE
When towing with chain or lead, wrap
the chain or lead with a soft cloth near
the bumper to prevent damage to the
bumper.
1. Remove the towing eyelet, wheel
brace, and the jack lever or
equivalent from the luggage
compartment (page 7-24).
2. Wrap a flathead screwdriver or jack
lever or a similar tool with a soft
cloth to prevent damage to a
painted bumper, and open the cap
located on the front or rear
bumper.
