Mazda CX-3: Traction Control System (TCS) / TCS/DSC Indicator Light

This indicator light stays on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched ON.
If the TCS or DSC is operating, the
indicator light flashes.
If the light stays on, the TCS, DSC or the
brake assist system may have a
malfunction and they may not operate
correctly. Take your vehicle to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
- In addition to the indicator light
flashing, a slight lugging sound will
come from the engine. This indicates
that the TCS/DSC is operating properly.
- On slippery surfaces, such as fresh
snow, it will be impossible to achieve
high rpm when the TCS is on.
The Traction Control System (TCS)
enhances traction and safety by controlling
engine torque and braking. When the TCS
detects driving wheel slippage, it lowers
engine torque and operates the brakes to
prevent loss of traction...
This indicator light stays on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched ON.
It also illuminates when the TCS OFF
switch is pressed and TCS is switched off...
Other information:
Direct mode can be used for temporarily
switching gears by operating the steering
shift switch while the vehicle is being
driven with the selector lever in the D

While in direct mode, the D and M
indication illuminate and the gear position
in use is illuminated...
WARNING
Keep storage boxes closed when driving: Driving with the storage
boxes open is
dangerous. To reduce the possibility of
injury in an accident or a sudden stop, keep
the storage boxes closed when driving.
When loading cargo, make sure that it is
completely secured: If the cargo is not completely secured, it
may move or collapse while driving or
during sudden braking, resulting in injury
or an accident...
Categories
We recommend the use of Genuine Mazda floor mats.
WARNING
Make sure the floor mats are hooked on the
retention pins to prevent them from
bunching up under the foot pedals:
Using a floor mat that is not secured is
dangerous as it will interfere with the
accelerator and brake pedal operation,
which could result in an accident.
Do not install two floor mats, one on top of
the other, on the driver's side:
Installing two floor mats, one on top of the
other, on the driver's side is dangerous as
the retention pins can only keep one floor
mat from sliding forward.
Loose floor mat(s) will interfere with the
foot pedals and could result in an accident.
If using an all-weather mat for winter use
always remove the original floor mat.
