Important Notes About This Manual Keep this manual in the glove box as a handy reference for the safe and enjoyable use of your Mazda. Should you resell the vehicle, leave this manual with it for the next owner. All specifications and descriptions are accurate at the time of printing. [. . . ] This could damage the power steering system.
WARNING
TCS and Unsafe Driving: The traction control system (TCS) cannot compensate for unsafe and reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too closely), and hydroplaning (reduced tyre friction and road contact because of water on the road surface). So don't rely on the traction control system as a substitute for safe driving. TCS and Snow and Ice: Driving without proper traction devices on snow and ice-covered roads is dangerous. The traction control system (TCS) alone cannot provide adequate traction and you could still have an accident. Use snow tyres or tyre chains and drive at reduced speeds when roads are covered with ice and snow.
