Brakes

PRINCIPLE OF
OPERATION
qBrakes (Disc and/or Drum)
If you require information regarding the
wear limit specification for the brake disc
plates and drums, or the measurement
method, please contact an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer. The information is made freely
available.
qDisc brakes
Wet brake discs result in reduced braking
efficiency. Dab the brake pedal when
driving from a car wash to remove the
film of water.
qABS
WARNING
The ABS does not relieve you of your
responsibility to drive with due care
and attention.
The ABS helps you to maintain full
steering and directional stability when you
brake heavily in an emergency, by
preventing the road wheels from locking.

qBrake override
In the event that the accelerator pedal
becomes stuck or entrapped, applying
steady and firm pressure to the brake
pedal will both slow the vehicle and
reduce engine power.
If you experience this condition:
1. Apply the brakes and bring your
vehicle to a safe stop.
2. Turn the engine off.
3. Select park (automatic transmission
only).
4. Apply the parking brake.
Inspect the accelerator pedal for any
interferences. If none are found and the
condition persists, have your vehicle
towed to a repairer.
