qBrake System Warning Light  
If the warning light remains on, or if the  
brakes do not operate properly, do not  
drive the vehicle. Have it towed to an  
Authorized Mazda Dealer.  
Even if the light turns off have your brake  
system inspected as soon as possible by  
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.  
This warning has the following functions:  
Parking brake warning  
NOTE  
The light illuminates when the parking  
brake is applied with the ignition switched  
to START or ON. It turns off when the  
parking brake is fully released.  
Having to add brake fluid is sometimes an  
indicator of leakage. Consult an Authorized  
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible even if the  
brake light is no longer illuminated.  
Low brake fluid level warning  
WARNING  
If the light stays on after the parking brake  
is fully released, you may have a brake  
problem.  
Do not drive with the brake system  
warning light illuminated. Contact an  
Authorized Mazda Dealer to have the  
brakes inspected as soon as possible:

qABS Warning Light  
qElectronic Brake Force  
Distribution System Warning  
The warning light stays on for a few  
seconds when the ignition is switched  
ON.  
If the electronic brake force distribution  
control unit determines that some  
components are operating incorrectly, the  
control unit may illuminate the brake  
system warning light and the ABS  
warning light on simultaneously. The  
problem is likely to be the electronic  
brake force distribution system.  
If the ABS warning light stays on while  
you're driving, the ABS control unit has  
detected a system malfunction. If this  
occurs, your brakes will function normally  
as if the vehicle had no ABS.  
Should this happen, consult an Authorized  
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.  
WARNING  
Do not drive with both the ABS warning  
light and brake warning light  
illuminated. Have the vehicle towed to  
an Authorized Mazda Dealer to have  
the brakes inspected as soon as  
possible:  
NOTE  
l
When the engine is jump-started to charge  
the battery, uneven rpm occurs and the ABS  
warning light may illuminate. If this occurs,  
it is the result of the weak battery and does  
not indicate an ABS malfunction.  
Driving when the brake system  
warning light and ABS warning light  
are illuminated simultaneously is  
dangerous.  
Recharge the battery.  
l
(With DSC vehicles)  
The brake assist system does not operate  
while the ABS warning light is illuminated.  
When both lights are illuminated, the  
rear wheels could lock more quickly  
in an emergency stop than under  
normal circumstances.

pan.  
3. Inspect the engine oil level (page 8-20).  
If it's low, add the appropriate amount  
of engine oil while being careful not to  
overfill.  
This warning light illuminates when the  
ignition is switched ON and turns off  
when the engine is started.  
4. Start the engine and check the warning  
light.  
If the warning light illuminates while

This indicates the possibility of  
overheating. Park the vehicle in a safe  
place immediately and take appropriate  
measures.

Adjust the tire pressure to the correct tire  
pressure. Refer to the specification charts  
(page 10-9).  
WARNING  
If the tire pressure monitoring system  
warning light illuminates or flashes, or  
the tire pressure warning beep sound is  
heard, decrease vehicle speed

When replacing/repairing the tires or  
wheels or both, have the work done  
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer, or

damaged.  
immediately and avoid sudden  
maneuvering and braking:  
If the tire pressure monitoring system  
warning light illuminates or flashes,  
or the tire pressure warning beep  
sound is heard, it is dangerous to  
drive the vehicle at high speeds, or  
perform sudden maneuvering or  
braking. Vehicle drivability could  
worsen and result in an accident.  
To determine if you have a slow leak  
or a flat, pull over to a safe position  
where you can check the visual  
condition of the tire and determine if  
you have enough air to proceed to a  
place where air may be added and  
the system monitored again by an  
Authorized Mazda Dealer or a tire  
repair station.  
Do not ignore the TPMS Warning Light:  
Ignoring the TPMS warning light is  
dangerous, even if you know why it is  
illuminated. Have the problem taken  
care of as soon as possible before it  
develops into a more serious  
situation that could lead to tire  
failure and a dangerous accident.

adjusted on hot tires to the cold inflation  
pressure, the TPMS warning light/beep may  
turn on after the tires cool and pressure  
drops below specification.  
Also, an illuminated TPMS warning light,  
resulting from the tire air pressure dropping  
due to cold ambient temperature, may turn  
off if the ambient temperature rises. In this  
case, it will also be necessary to adjust the  
tire air pressures. If the TPMS warning  
light illuminates due to a drop in tire air  
pressure, make sure to check and adjust the  
tire air pressures.

When the warning light flashes, there may  
be a system malfunction. Consult an

TPMS cannot tell if the tires are getting too  
soft over time or you have a flat. However,
