Do not rely completely on the CTS.
The CTS is not an automated driving system. Therefore, the function has limitations. Do not rely completely on the system and always stay on course using the steering wheel.
Set a vehicle speed within the speed limit according to the road conditions and the weather conditions.
The CTS may not be able to detect a vehicle ahead depending on the type of vehicle ahead and its conditions, the weather conditions, and the road conditions. Additionally, the system might be unable to decelerate sufficiently if the vehicle ahead applies the brakes suddenly or another vehicle cuts into your lane, which could result in an accident.
Do not use the CTS under the following conditions. Otherwise, it may result in an accident.
The vehicle is driven on roads other than expressways and highways.
The vehicle is driven on roads with sharp curves or with heavy traffic where sufficient distances between vehicles cannot be kept.
The vehicle is driven on roads where acceleration and deceleration are frequently repeated.
The vehicle is exiting the main lane on an expressway to enter an interchange, a rest area, or a parking area.
The vehicle is driven on slippery roads such as icy roads, snow-covered roads, and unpaved roads.
The vehicle is driven on a long downslope.
The vehicle is driven on a steep slope.
A two-wheeled vehicle such as a motorcycle or bicycle is traveling ahead.
The vehicle is being towed or towing another vehicle.
Proximity warnings activate frequently.
Under bad weather conditions (rain, fog, and snow).
Tires other than the specified size are used, such as when tire chains or temporary spare tires are used.
The tire pressures are not adjusted to the appropriate pressure.
Tires with insufficient tread are used.
Switch the CTS off when it is not being used.
Leaving the CTS on when it is not in use is dangerous as it could operate unexpectedly, resulting in an accident.
Do not leave the vehicle while the vehicle is stopped by the CTS control.
Getting out of the vehicle while the stop hold control is operating is dangerous as the vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. Before leaving the vehicle, switch the CTS off, shift the selector lever to the P position, and apply the parking brake.
Heed the following cautions so that the CTS can operate normally.
Do not modify the suspensions.
Always use wheels of the specified size for the front and rear wheels. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for tire replacement.
