- Mazda warns against relying on it on steep slopes or slippery roads where the vehicle may move unexpectedly.
- The electric parking brake can apply automatically after a long hold of roughly ten minutes or when the engine is switched off.
Quick checks.
- ✓If standby will not engage, fasten the belt, close the driver's door and verify the parking brake is released.
- ✓If the active HOLD indicator does not appear, continue pressing the brake and do not remove your foot.
- ✓If a warning remains illuminated, cancel AUTOHOLD and have the brake system inspected.
