WARNING  
This warning light indicates low engine  
oil pressure.  
Do not drive with both the brake  
system warning light and ABS warning  
light illuminated. Have the vehicle  
towed to an Authorized Mazda  
Dealer to have the brakes inspected as  
soon as possible:  
CAUTION  
Do not run the engine if the oil  
pressure is low. Otherwise, it could  
result in extensive engine damage.  
Driving when the brake system warning  
light and ABS warning light are  
illuminated simultaneously is  
dangerous.  
When both lights are illuminated, the  
rear wheels could lock more quickly in  
an emergency stop than under normal  
circumstances.  
If the light illuminates or the warning  
indication is displayed while driving:  
1. Drive to the side of the road and  
park off the right-of-way on level  
ground.  
2. Turn off the engine and wait 5

Power Steering Malfunction  
Indication/Indicator Light  
▼
If the light remains illuminated even  
though the oil level is normal or after  
adding oil, stop the engine  
immediately and have your vehicle  
towed to an Authorized Mazda Dealer.  
The message is displayed if the electric  
power steering has a malfunction.  
If the message is displayed, stop the  
vehicle in a safe place and do not  
operate the steering wheel. There is no  
problem if the indication turns off  
when the engine is restarted after  
some time has passed. If the indication  
displays even after the engine is  
restarted, contact an Authorized  
Mazda Dealer if the message is  
displayed continuously.  
High Engine Coolant Temperature  
Warning Indication  
▼
Displays if the engine coolant  
temperature has increased excessively.  
“Elevated Engine Coolant Temp. Drive  
Slowly” displayed  
NOTE  
Drive slowly to reduce engine load  
until you can find a safe place to stop  
the vehicle and wait for the engine to  
cool down.  
If the message is displayed, the  
power steering will not operate  
normally. In this case, the steering  
wheel can still be operated,  
however, the operation may feel  
heavy compared to normal, or the  
steering wheel could vibrate when  
turning.  
“Excessive Engine Coolant Temp. Stop  
the Vehicle in a Safe Location”  
displayed  
This indicates the possibility of  
overheating. Park the vehicle in a safe  
place immediately and stop the  
engine.  
Repeatedly jerking the steering  
wheel left and right while the vehicle  
is stopped or moving extremely  
slowly will cause the power steering  
system to go into protective mode  
which will make the steering feel  
heavy, but this does not indicate a  
problem. If this occurs, park the  
vehicle safely and wait several  
minutes for the system to return to  
normal.  
Refer to Overheating on page 7-17.  
CAUTION  
Do not drive the vehicle with the high  
engine coolant temperature warning  
light illuminated. Otherwise, it could  
result in damage to the engine.

Do not drive the vehicle at high  
speeds if the TPMS warning light turns  
on or flashes:  
Driving the vehicle at high speeds  
while the TPMS warning light is turned  
on or flashing is dangerous because  
the brake performance and the  
steering wheel operability will be  
reduced. If the vehicle is driven at high  
speeds or the brakes are suddenly  
applied, it could lead to an accident.  
Gradually apply the brakes to lower the  
vehicle's speed.  
“Key Not Detected” is displayed

NOTE  
If a tire pressure decreases below the  
specified air pressure, the TPMS

While the TPMS is learning the tire  
positions, such as immediately after a  
tire position has been changed, the tire  
pressure at the tire position prior to it  
being changed is displayed until the  
system completes the learning. For this  
reason, the tire pressures displayed for  
the tire positions may be different from  
the actual tire pressures at the tire  
positions.  
At the same time, a message and the  
tire pressure of each tire are displayed  
on the multi-information display  
alternately. In addition, the tire (s) with  
low air pressure is displayed in yellow.
