Traction Control System

(TCS)

í

The Traction Control System (TCS)

enhances traction and safety by

controlling engine torque. When the TCS

detects driving wheel slippage, it lowers

engine torque to prevent loss of traction.

This means that on a slick surface, the

engine adjusts automatically to provide

optimum power to the drive wheels

without causing them to spin and lose

traction.

WARNING

Do not rely on the traction control

system as a substitute for safe driving:

The traction control system (TCS)

cannot compensate for unsafe and

reckless driving, excessive speed,

tailgating (following another vehicle

too closely), and hydroplaning

(reduced tire friction and road contact

because of water on the road surface).

You can still have an accident.

Use snow tires and drive at reduced

speeds when roads are covered with

ice and/or snow:

Driving without proper traction

devices o n snow and/or ice-covered

roads is dangerous. The traction

control system (TCS) alone cannot

provide adequate traction and you

could still have an accident.

qTCS Indicator Light

This indicator light stays on for a few

seconds when the ignition switch is turned

to the ON position. If the TCS is

operating, the indicator light flashes.

If the light stays on, the TCS may have a

malfunction and it may not operate

correctly. Take your vehicle to an

Authorized Mazda Dealer.

NOTE

l

In addition to the indicator light

flashing, a slight lugging sound will

come from the engine. This indicates

that the TCS is operating properly.

l

On slippery surfaces, such as fresh

snow, it will be impossible to

achieve high rpm when the TCS is

on.

qTCS OFF Indicator Light

This indicator light stays on for a few

seconds when the ignition switch is turned

to the ON position.

It also comes on when the TCS OFF

switch is pressed and TCS is switched off.
