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 manoe uvring,
enhancing vehicle safety.
Refer to ABS (page 4-106) and TCS
(page 4-107).
DSC operation is possible at speeds
greater than 20 km/h (12 mph).
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page
4-33.
WARNING
Do not rely on the Dynamic Stability
Control as a substitute for safe
driving:
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
cannot compensate for uns afe and
reckless driving, excessive speed,
tailgating (following another vehicle
too closely), and hydroplaning
(reduced tyre friction an d road c ontact
because of water on the road surface).
You can still have an accident.
CAUTION
l
The DSC may not operate correctly
unless the following are observed:
l
Use tyres of the correct size
specified for your Mazda on all
four wheels.
l
Use tyres of the same
manufacturer, brand and tread
pattern on all four wheels.
l
Do not mix worn tyres.
l
The DSC may not operate correctly
when tyre chains are used or a
temporary spare tyre is installed
because the tyre diameter changes.
