Emergency Stop Signal System
Your Mazda is equipped with an emergency stop signal system that is designed to determine whether you are depressing the brake pedal with greater force than during normal braking such as in a situation requiring emergency braking. If the system determines that such a situation is occurring, it flashes all the direction indicators rapidly to caution the driver of the vehicle following behind your vehicle of the sudden braking situation.
The system is cancelled when the brake pedal is released or the system determines that the brake pedal is no longer heavily depressed based on the rate at which the vehicle speed decreases.
-
If you bring your vehicle to a complete stop while all the direction indicators are flashing rapidly, the rapid flashing of all the direction indicators changes back to the normal flashing pattern.
-
The emergency stop signal system does not operate at vehicle speeds under about 60 km/h (37 mph).
-
If the brake pedal is depressed while driving on slippery roads, the emergency stop signal system could operate causing all the turn and lane change signals to flash.
