The disc brakes are actuated mechanically, so I'd be curious how the brakes are held if that's the case. Some other system?
As far as engaging the system, you should be able to turn it on as soon as you start the vehicle, with your foot on the brake, and the parking brake has been disengaged.
This is the full list of conditions from the Mazda site:
When all of the following conditions are met, the AUTOHOLD operates and the brakes are held.
The ignition is switched ON (engine is running or stopped by i-stop).
The vehicle is stopped.
The brake pedal is being depressed.
The AUTOHOLD active indicator light turns on.
The accelerator pedal is not depressed.
The driver's seat belt is fastened.
The driver's door is closed.
There is no problem with the AUTOHOLD function.
The electric parking brake (EPB) is released.
There is no problem with the electric parking brake (EPB) function.
(Automatic transaxle vehicle)
The selector lever is in a position other than R position or the vehicle tilts forward with the selector lever in the R position.
