When Driving
Brake
Brake Assist
During emergency braking situations
when it is necessary to depress the brake
pedal with greater force, the brake assist
system provides braking assistance, thus
enhancing braking performance.
When the brake pedal is depressed hard or
depressed more quickly, the brakes apply
more ¿ rmly.
N O T E
y When the brake pedal is depressed hard
or depressed more quickly, the pedal
will feel softer but the brakes will apply
more ¿ rmly. This is a normal effect of
the brake assist operation and does not
indicate a malfunction.
y When the brake pedal is depressed
hard or depressed more quickly, a
motor/pump operation noise may be
heard. This is a normal effect of the
brake assist and does not indicate a
malfunction.
y The brake assist equipment does not
supersede the functionality of the
vehicle's main braking system.
Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is a function
which assists the driver in accelerating
from a stop while on a slope. When
the driver releases the brake pedal and
depresses the accelerator pedal while
on a slope, the function prevents the
vehicle from rolling. The braking force is
maintained automatically after the brake
pedal is released on a steep grade.
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) operates on a
downward slope when the selector lever
is in the reverse (R) position, and on an
upward slope when the selector lever is in
a forward gear.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on Hill Launch
Assist (HLA):
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is an auxiliary
device for accelerating from a stop
on a slope. The system only operates
for about two seconds and therefore,
relying only on the system, when
accelerating from a stop is dangerous
because the vehicle may move (roll)
unexpectedly and cause an accident.
The vehicle could roll depending on
the vehicle's load or if it is towing
something.
Always confi rm the safety around the
vehicle before starting to drive the
vehicle.

If Trouble Arises
Emergency Starting
Starting a Flooded Engine
If the engine fails to start, it may be
À ooded (excessive fuel in the engine).
Follow this procedure:
1. If the engine does not start within
¿ ve seconds on the ¿ rst try, wait ten
seconds and try again.
2. Make sure the parking brake is on.
3. Depress the accelerator all the way and
hold it there.
4. Depress the brake pedal, then press the
push button start. If the engine starts,
release the accelerator immediately
because the engine will suddenly rev
up.
5. If the engine fails to start, crank it
without depressing the accelerator.
If the engine still does not start using
the above procedure, have your vehicle
inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Push-Starting
Do not push-start your Mazda.
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle to start it:
Towing a vehicle to start it is
dangerous. The vehicle being towed
could surge forward when its engine
starts, causing the two vehicles to
collide. The occupants could be injured.
N O T E
You cannot start a vehicle with an
automatic transaxle by pushing it.

If Trouble Arises
Emergency Towing
Towing Description
We recommend that towing be done only
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing are necessary to
prevent damage to the vehicle. Particularly
when towing an 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.
Wheel dollies
A towed 2WD 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 2WD vehicle with the rear
wheels on the ground, release the parking
brake.
A towed AWD vehicle must have all its
wheels off the ground.
WARNING
Always tow an AWD vehicle with all four
wheels off the ground:
Towing an 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
fl at bed truck.

If Trouble Arises
Emergency Towing
CAUTION
¾ Do not tow the vehicle pointed
backward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal damage
to the transaxle.
¾ Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or fl atbed equipment.
Towing Hooks (Mexico)
CAUTION
¾ The towing eyelet should be used in an
emergency (to get the vehicle out of a
ditch or a snow bank, for example).
¾ When using the towing eyelets, always
pull the cable or chain in a straight
direction with respect to the eyelet.
Never apply a sideways force.
N O T E
When towing with chain or cable, wrap
the chain or cable with a soft cloth near
the bumper to prevent damage to the
bumper.

Emergency Towing
4. Hook the towing rope to the towing
eyelet.
CAUTION
¾ If the towing eyelet is not securely
tightened, it may loosen or disengage
from the bumper when towing the
vehicle. Make sure that the towing eyelet
is securely tightened to the bumper.
¾ Be careful not to damage the towing
eyelet and towing hook, vehicle body, or
transaxle system when towing under the
following conditions:
¾ Do not tow a vehicle heavier than
yours.
¾ Do not suddenly accelerate your
vehicle as it will apply a severe shock
to the towing eyelet and towing hook
or rope.
¾ Do not attach any rope other than to
the towing eyelet and towing hook.
