When Driving

ABS/TCS/DSC

Traction Control System

(TCS)

The Traction Control System (TCS)

enhances traction and safety by controlling

engine torque and braking. When the TCS

detects driving wheel slippage, it lowers

engine torque and operates the brakes to

prevent loss of traction.

This means that on a slick surface, the

engine adjusts automatically to provide

optimum power to the drive wheels,

limiting wheel spin and loss of traction.

The warning light turns on when the

system has a malfunction.

Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-22 .

WARNING

Do not rely on the Traction Control

System (TCS) 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 or tire chains and drive at

reduced speeds when roads are covered

with ice and/or snow:

Driving without proper traction devices

on 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.

NOTE

To turn off the TCS, press the DSC OFF

switch (page 4-82 ).

TCS/DSC Indicator Light

This indicator light stays on for a few

seconds when the ignition is switched

ON. If the TCS or DSC is operating, the

indicator light ﬂ ashes.

If the light stays on, the TCS, DSC

or the brake assist system may have a

malfunction and they may not operate

correctly. Take your vehicle to an

Authorized Mazda Dealer.

NOTE

y

In addition to the indicator light

ﬂ ashing, a slight lugging sound will

come from the engine. This indicates

that the TCS/DSC is operating properly.

y

On slippery surfaces, such as fresh

snow, it will be impossible to achieve

high rpm when the TCS is on.
