Things to Be Observed

While Driving

WARNING

Never stop the engine when going

down a hill.

Stopping the engine when going down

a hill is dangerous. This causes the loss

of power steering and power brake

control, and may cause damage to the

drivetrain. Any loss of steering or

braking control could cause an

accident.

Be extremely careful if it is necessary

to downshift on slippery surfaces.

Downshifting into lower gear while

driving on slippery surfaces is

dangerous. The sudden change in tire

speed could cause the tires to skid.

This could lead to loss of vehicle

control and an accident.

Dry oﬀ brakes that have become wet

by driving slowly, releasing the

accelerator pedal and lightly applying

the brakes several times until the

brake performance returns to normal.

Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.

Increased stopping distance or the

vehicle pulling to one side when

braking could result in a serious

accident. Light braking will indicate

whether the brakes have been

aﬀected.

CAUTION

Do not drive the vehicle on ﬂooded

roads as it could cause short circuiting

of electrical/electronic parts, or engine

damage or stalling from water

absorption. If the vehicle has been

immersed in water, consult an

Authorized Mazda Dealer.
