Driving Your Mazda
Starting and Driving
NOTE
When TCS is on and you attempt to
free the vehicle when it is stuck, or
drive it out of freshly fallen snow,
the TCS will activate. Depressing the
accelerator will not increase engine
power and freeing the vehicle may
be difficult. When this happens, turn
off the TCS.
If the TCS is off when the engine is
turned off, it automatically activates
when the ignition switch is turned
on.
Leaving the TCS on will provide the
best traction.
