WARNING
!
Twisted Seat Belts:Twisted seat belts can cause
injury. In a collision, the full
width of the belt isn’t available to
absorb the impact. This puts more
force on the bones beneath the
belt, which could break them or
cause other serious injury or
death. Don’ t wear twisted seat
belts.
WARNING
!
One Belt, One Passenger:Using one seat belt for more than
one person at a time is dangerous.
A seat belt used in this way can’ t
spread the impact forces properly
and the two passengers could be
crushed together and seriously
injured or even killed. Never use
one belt for more than one person
at a time.

BRAKE
 Brake System Warning Light
If the brake warning light stays on
after the parking brake is fully
released, the brake system has a
malfunction. Refer to Warning
Lights/Beeps (page 5-36).
 Q047-5A2E
 Antilock Brake System (ABS)*
The ABS control unit continuously
monitors the speed of each wheel. If
one is about to lock up, the ABS
responds by automatically releasing
and reapplying that wheel’ s brake.
The driver will feel a slight vibration
in the brake pedal and may hear a
chattering noise from the brake
system. This is normal when the ABS
operates. Don’ t pump the brakes,
continue to press down on the brake
pedal.

Q047-7B2E
NOTEIf 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.

NOTEBraking distances may be longer
on loose surfaces (snow or gravel,
for example) which usually have a
hard foundation. A vehicle with a
normal braking system may
require less distance to stop under
these conditions because the tires
will build up a wedge of surface
layer when the wheels skid.
WARNING
!
ABS:The ABS cannot compensate for
unsafe and reckless driving,
excessive speed, tailgating
(following another vehicle too
closely), and hydroplaning
(reduced tire friction and road
contact because of water on the
road surface). You can still have
an accident. So don’t rely on ABS
as a substitute for safe driving.
NOTEWhen the engine is jump-started,
an unevenness of rpm occurs and
the ABS warning light comes on.
This is due to a lack of battery
capacity and doesn’ t indicate a
malfunction.
Have the battery recharged as soon
as possible.

Q053-15IE
Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light*
The warning light stays on for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position.
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.
NOTEWhen the engine is jump-started to
charge the battery, uneven rpm
occurs and the ABS warning light
comes on. This is due to a weak
battery, not a malfunction.
Recharge the battery.
