How to Use the Traction Control System (TCS)
Enabling Operation of the TCS
Switch the vehicle power ON.
The TCS is operable.
When the TCS operates, the TCS/DSC operation indicator light 
flashes.
Stopping the TCS Operation
The TCS operation is cancelled and the TCS OFF indicator light in the infotainment display and the TCS OFF switch indicator light turn on. Press the TCS OFF switch again to enable the TCS operation.
If the engine is stopped while the TCS operation is canceled, the TCS becomes operational when the engine is started the next time.
When the TCS is on and you attempt to free the vehicle from being stuck, the TCS will activate. Depressing the accelerator will not increase engine power and freeing the vehicle from being stuck might be difficult. When this happens, turn off the TCS.
If the TCS is canceled and the following systems are operated, the TCS becomes operational.
-
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
-
Secondary Collision Reduction (SCR)
While the TCS operation is cancelled, Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) cannot be activated. Turn on the TCS before activating MRCC. Also, if the TCS operation is cancelled while MRCC is active, MRCC operation will also be cancelled simultaniously.
