Brake Pad Wear Indicator
When the disc brake pads become worn, the built-in wear indicators contact the disc plates.
This causes a screeching noise to warn that the pads should be replaced.
When you hear this noise, consult an expert repairer, we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as possible.
WARNING
Do not drive with worn disc pads:
Driving with worn disc pads is dangerous.
The brakes could fail and cause a serious accident.
As soon as you hear a screeching noise consult an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Brake Assist
During emergency braking situations when it is necessary to depress the brake pedal with greater force, the brake assist system provides braking assistance, thus enhancing braking performance.
When the brake pedal is depressed hard or depressed more quickly, the brakes apply more firmly.
NOTE
* When the brake pedal is depressed hard or depressed more quickly, the pedal will feel softer but the brakes will apply more
firmly.
This is a normal effect of the brake assist operation and does not indicate a malfunction.
* When the brake pedal is depressed hard or depressed more quickly, a motor/pump operation noise may be heard.
This is a normal effect of the brake assist and does not indicate a malfunction.
* The brake assist equipment does not supersede the functionality of the vehicle's main braking system.
