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 manoeuvring, enhancing vehicle safety.

 

Refer to ABS (Search) and TCS (Search).

 

DSC operation is possible at speeds greater than 15 km/h (9 mph).

 

A system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning.

Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights (Search).

 


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 tyre friction and road contact because of water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.

  • The DSC may not operate correctly unless the following are observed:

    • Use tyres of the correct size specified for your Mazda on all four wheels.

    • Use tyres of the same manufacturer, brand and tread pattern on all four wheels.

    • Do not mix worn tyres.

  • The DSC may not operate correctly when tyre chains are used or a temporary spare tyre is installed because the tyre diameter changes.
