Warning Lights/Beeps
Warning Lights Inspection
Inspect the warning lights by turning
the ignition switch to the ON position
with the engine off and the parking
brake on. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer about any light that
doesn’ t come on.
If the brake system warning light is off
when the ignition switch is in the
START position, have the system
inspected by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
After starting the engine, make sure all
warning lights are off. If one stays on,
it’ s signaling for attention. The brake system warning light should
go off when the parking brake is
released.

Hazard Warning Flasher
J94A5001
The hazard warning lights warn other
drivers that your vehicle is a traffic
hazard and that they must take
extreme caution when near it.
The hazard warning lights should
always be used when you stop on or
near a roadway.Depress the hazard warning switch
and all four turn signals will flash at
once.
NOTE•
The turn signals don’t work
when the hazard warning lights
are on.
• Check local regulations about
the use of hazard warning lights
while the vehicle is being
towed. They may forbid it.

Q072-3AE
OverheatingIf the temperature gauge indicates
overheating, if you experience power
loss, or if you hear a loud knocking or
pinging noise, the engine is probably
too hot.
If this happens:
1. Drive safely to the side of the road
and park off the right-of-way.
2. Set an automatic transaxle in P, a manual transaxle in neutral. Apply
the parking brake.
3. Turn off the air conditioner.
