Starting and Driving
CAUTION
The DSC may not operate correctly
l
unless the following are observed:
Use tires of the correct size
l
specified for your Mazda on all
four wheels.
Use tires of the same
l
manufacturer, brand and tread
pattern on all four wheels.
Do not mix worn tires.
l
The DSC may not operate correctly
l
when tire chains are used or a
temporary spare tire is installed
because the tire diameter changes.
If repair or replacement of the
l
steering or other surrounding
equipment is necessary, have it done
at an Authorized Mazda Dealer. If
the center position of the steering
deviates, the DSC may not operate
correctly because there is a sensor in
the steering which detects driving
conditions.
