Brake System

qFoot Brake

Your Mazda has power-assisted brakes

that adjus t automatically through normal

use.

Should power-assist fail, you can stop by

applying greater force than normal to the

brake pedal. But the distance required to

stop will be greater than usual.

WARNING

Do not coast with the engine stalled or

turned off, find a safe place to stop:

Coasting with the engine stalled or

turned off is dangerous. Braking will

require more effort, and the brake's

power-assist could be depleted if you

pump the brake. This will cause

longer stopping distan ces or even an

accident.

Shift to a lower gear when going down

steep hills:

Driving with your foot continuously

on the brake pedal or steadily applying

the brakes for long distances is

dangerous. This causes overheated

brakes, resulting in longer stopping

distances or even total brake failure.

This could cause loss of vehicle

control and a serious accident. Avoid

continuous application of the brakes.

WARNING

Dry brakes that have become wet by

driving very slowly and applying the

brakes lightly until brake performance

is 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.

qParking Brake

WARNING

Before leaving the driver's seat,

always set the parking brake and

make sure the shift lever is in P with

an automatic transmission or in 1 or R

with a manual transmission:

Leaving the driver's seat without

setting the parking brake and the shift

lever is dangerous. Unexpected vehicle

movement could occur. This could

cause an accident.

CAUTION

Driving with the parking brake on will

cause excessive wear of the brake

linings or pads.

NOTE

For parking in snow, refer to Winter

Driving (page 4-8) regarding parking

brake use.
