Hill Launch Assist - Mazda CX-5 2018 Owner's Manual

Do not rely completely on HLA:
HLA is an auxiliary device for accelerating
from a stop on a slope. The system only
operates for about two seconds and
therefore, relying only on the system, when
accelerating from a stop is dangerous
because the vehicle may move (roll)
unexpectedly and cause an accident.
The vehicle could roll depending on the
vehicle's load or if it is towing something. In
addition, for vehicles with a manual
transaxle, the vehicle could still roll
depending on how the clutch pedal or the
accelerator pedal is operated.
Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before starting to drive the vehicle.
NOTE
HLA does not operate on a gentle slope.
•
In addition, the gradient of the slope on
which the system will operate changes
depending on the vehicle's load.
HLA does not operate if the parking
•
brake is applied, the vehicle has not
stopped completely, or the clutch pedal
is released.
While HLA is operating, the brake pedal
•
may feel stiff and vibrate, however, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
HLA does not operate while the
•
TCS/DSC indicator light is illuminated.
Refer to Contact Authorised Mazda
Repairer and Have Vehicle Inspected on
page 7-34.
HLA does not turn off even if the TCS
•
OFF switch is pressed to turn off the
TCS.
(Automatic Transaxle)
•
Although the HLA does not operate
during idling stop, the vehicle roll
prevention function operates to prevent
vehicle roll.
