CX-7_8V28-EA-06B_Edition2 Page181 Monday, March 13 2006 5:6 PM Black plate (181,1) Driving Your Mazda Starting and Driving Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) automatically controls braking and engine torque in conjunction with systems such as ABS and TCS to help control side slip when driving on slippery surfaces, or during sudden or evasive maneuvering, enhancing vehicle safety. Refer to ABS (page 5-7) and TCS (page 5-22). DSC operation is possible at speeds greater than 20 km/h (12 mph). l CAUTION l The DSC may not operate correctly unless the following are observed: l l l Use tires of the correct size specified for your Mazda on all four wheels. Use tires of the same manufacturer, brand and tread pattern on all four wheels. Do not mix worn tires. The DSC may not operate correctly when tire chains are used or a temporary spare tire is installed because the tire diameter changes. WARNING Do not rely on the dynamic stability control as a substitute for safe driving: The dynamic stability control (DSC) 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. qTCS/DSC Indicator Light This indicator light stays on for a few seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. If the TCS or DSC is operating, the indicator light flashes. If the light stays on, the TCS or DSC may have a malfunction and they may not operate correctly. Take your vehicle to an Authorized Mazda Dealer. 5-25 Form No.8V28-EA-06B
