Mazda 2008 CX-7 User Manual

NOTE
l
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.
l
If the TCS is off when the engine is turned
off, it automatically activates when the
ignition switch is turned on.
l
Leaving the TCS on will provide the best
traction.
l
If the TCS is OFF when the vehicle speed is
more than 30 km/h (18 mph), it
automatically activates and the TCS OFF
indicator light will turn off.
l
If the TCS OFF switch is pressed and held
for 10 seconds or more, the TCS OFF
switch malfunction detection function
operates and the TCS system activates
automatically. The TCS OFF indicator light
turns off while the TCS system is operative.
Dynamic Stability Control
(DSC)
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
automatically controls braking and engine
torque in conjunction with systems such
as ABS and TCS to help control side slip
when driving on slippery surfaces, or
during sudden or evasive maneuvering,
enhancing vehicle safety.
Refer to ABS (page 5-7) and TCS (page
5-22).
DSC operation is possible at speeds
greater than 20 km/h (12 mph) .
WARNING
Do not rely on the dynamic stability
control as a substitute for safe driving:
The dynamic stability control (DSC)
cannot compensate for unsafe and
reckless driving, excessive speed,
tailgating (following another vehicle
too closely), and hydroplaning
(reduced tire friction and road
contact because of water on the road
surface). You can still have an
accident.
