Auto-light control

When the headlight switch is in the AUTO position and the ignition is switched ON,

the light sensor senses the surrounding lightness or darkness and automatically turns

the headlights and other exterior lights on or off.

CAUTION

¾ Do not shade the light sensor by adhering a sticker or a label on the windshield.

Otherwise the light sensor will not operate correctly.

¾ The light sensor also works as a rain sensor for the auto-wiper control. Keep hands

and scrapers clear of the windshield when the wiper lever is in the AUTO position

and the ignition is switched ON as fingers could be pinched or the wipers and

wiper blades could be damaged when the wipers activate automatically. If you are

going to clean the windshield, be sure the wipers are turned off completely when

it is particularly tempting to leave the engine running. This is particularly important

when clearing ice and snow.

4-58

When Driving

Switches and Controls

NOTE

^ The headlights and other exterior lights may not turn off immediately even if the

surrounding area becomes well-lit because the light sensor determines that it is

night time if the surrounding area is continuously dark for several minutes such as

inside long tunnels, traffic jams inside tunnels, or in indoor parking lots.

^ If the headlight switch and the windshield wiper switch are in AUTO, and the

wipers are operated at low or high speed by the auto wiper control for several

seconds, bad weather conditions are determined and the headlights may be

turned on.

^ The sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.

AUTOHOLD

▼ AUTOHOLD

The AUTOHOLD function automatically holds the vehicle stopped, even if you take

your foot off the brake pedal. This function can be best used while stopped in traffic

or at a traffic light. The brakes are released when you start driving the vehicle.

WARNING

Do not rely completely on the AUTOHOLD function:

The AUTOHOLD function 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 there is a possibility of the vehicle not being held in the stopped position by

the AUTOHOLD function, the vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an

accident.

Do not use the AUTOHOLD function on slippery roads such as icy or

snow-covered roads, or unpaved roads:

Even if the vehicle is held in the stopped position by the AUTOHOLD function, 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 the AUTOHOLD function is canceled forcibly, the vehicle may move

unexpectedly and result in an accident.

¾ “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 (automatic transmission vehicle) and apply the

parking brake.

4-82

When Driving

Brake

CAUTION

If you stop operating the accelerator pedal before the vehicle starts moving, the

force holding the vehicle in the stopped position may weaken. Firmly depress the

brake pedal or depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate the vehicle.

NOTE

^ Under the following conditions, a problem with the AUTOHOLD is occurring.

Have your vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

^ A message is indicated on the multi-information display and a warning sound is

activated for about 5 seconds while the AUTOHOLD is operating or when you

press the AUTOHOLD switch.

^ If you switch the ignition OFF while the AUTOHOLD is operating, the parking

brake is applied automatically to assist you with parking the vehicle.

^ The AUTOHOLD is canceled when the selector lever/shift lever is shifted to R
