Warnings and Cautions for Using the Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK)

 


Do not rely completely on the ELK.

  • The ELK has limitations. Do not rely completely on the system and always stay on course using the steering wheel.

  • The ELK is not an automated driving system. Over reliance on the system could lead to an accident.

  • The detection range of the camera and sensors is limited. If the steering wheel operation assist is operated without detecting a two-wheeled vehicle near the detecting vehicle, it could result in an accident.

Do not use the ELK under the following conditions. Otherwise, it may result in an accident.

  • The vehicle is driven on slippery roads such as icy roads, snow-covered roads, and unpaved roads.

  • Tires other than the specified size are used, such as when tire chains or temporary spare tires are used.

  • Tires with insufficient tread are used.

  • The tire pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.

  • The vehicle is towing a camping trailer or boat trailer.

  • (Blind Spot Assist)

    The rear bumper around a rear side radar sensor is deformed.

 


Heed the following cautions so that the ELK can operate normally.

  • Do not modify the vehicle's suspensions.

  • Always use wheels of the specified size for the front and rear wheels. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for tire replacement.
