Do not rely completely on AUTOHOLD:
AUTOHOLD is only designed to assist the brake operation while the vehicle is stopped. Neglecting to operate the brakes and relying only on the AUTOHOLD system is dangerous and could result in an unexpected accident if the vehicle were to suddenly move. Operate the brakes appropriately in accordance with the road and surrounding conditions. Note that the vehicle may move suddenly depending on the vehicle's load or if it is towing something.
Do not release your foot from the brake pedal while the vehicle is stopped on a steep grade:
Because AUTOHOLD does not operate on steep gradients, the vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. When AUTOHOLD does not operate on a steep slope, a message is displayed in the multi-information display.
Do not use AUTOHOLD on slippery roads such as icy or snow-covered roads, or unpaved roads:
Even if the vehicle is held in the stopped position by AUTOHOLD, the vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. Operate the accelerator pedal, brakes, or steering wheel appropriately as necessary.
Immediately depress the brake pedal in the following cases:
Because AUTOHOLD is canceled forcibly, the vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an accident.
Under the following conditions, a problem with AUTOHOLD is occurring. Have your vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
“Depress Brake Pedal. Brake Hold Disabled” is displayed in the multi-information display and the warning sound is activated at the same time.
Always apply the parking brake when parking the vehicle:
Not applying the parking brake when parking the vehicle is dangerous as the vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. When parking the vehicle, shift the selector lever to the P position and apply the parking brake.
If you stop operating the accelerator pedal before the vehicle starts moving, the brake may be released. Firmly depress the brake pedal or depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate the vehicle.
If you switch the vehicle power OFF while AUTOHOLD is operating, the parking brake is applied automatically to assist you with parking the vehicle.
AUTOHOLD does not operate when the selector lever is in the R position.
AUTOHOLD is canceled when the selector lever is shifted to the R position.
The brake pedal response may change, sound may occur from the brakes, or the brake pedal could vibrate from the operation of AUTOHOLD. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
