qTurn-Signal/Hazard Warning
Indicator Lights
When operating the turn signal lights, the
left or right turn signal indicator light
flashes to indicate which turn signal light
is operating (page 5-54).
When operating the hazard warning
lights, both turn signal indicator lights
flash (page 5-61).
NOTE
If an indicator light remains illuminated
(does not flash) or if it flashes
abnormally, one of the turn signal bulbs
may be burned out.
Beep Sounds
qAir Bag/Front Seat Belt
Pretensioner System Warning Beep
If a malfunction is detected in both the air
bag/front seat belt pretensioner system
and the warning light, a warning beep
sound will be heard for about 1 minute.
After that, the one-minute beep will be
repeated every 30 minutes.
Have your vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with the air
bag/front seat belt pretensioner system
warning beep sounding:
Driving the vehicle with the air bag/
front seat belt pretensioner system
warning beep sounding is dangerous.
In a collision, the air bags and the
front seat belt pretensioner system will
not deploy and this could result in
death or serious injury.
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer
to have the vehicle inspected as soon
as possible.

CAUTION
lDo not shade the light sensor by
adhering a sticker or a label on the
windshield. Otherwise the light
sensor will not operate correctly.
Light sensor
lThe light sensor also works as a rain
sensor for the auto-wiper control.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windshield when the ignition switch
is in the ON position as fingers
pinched or the wipers and wiper
blades damaged when they activate
automatically. If you are going to
clean the windshield, be sure the
wipers are turned off completely -
this is particularly important when
clearing ice and snow - when it is
particularly tempting to leave the
engine running.
NOTE
lWhen the headlight switch is in the
AUTO position and the ignition
switch is turned to the ACC or
LOCK position, the headlights, other
exterior lights and dashboard
illumination will turn off.
lThe timing for turning on the
headlights, other exterior lights and
dashboard illumination can be
delayed by adjusting the sensitivity
of the light sensor. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer regarding
sensor adjustment.
Xenon fusion headlight bulbsí
The low-beam bulbs of the headlights
have xenon fusion bulbs that produce a
bright white beam over a wide area.
WARNING
Do not replace the xenon fusion bulbs
yourself:
Replacing the xenon fusion bulbs
yourself is dangerous. Because the
xenon fusion bulbs require high
voltage, you could receive an electric
shock if the bulbs are handled
incorrectly. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer when the replacement is
necessary.
NOTE
If the headlights flicker, or the
brightness weakens, the bulb-life may
be depleted and a replacement is
necessary. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

qDaytime Running Lights (Canada)
In Canada, vehicles must be driven with
the headlights on during daytime
operation.
For that reason, the daytime running lights
automatically turn on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position.
NOTE
The Daytime Running Lights turn off
when the parking brake is applied.
Turn and Lane-Change
Signals
qTurn Signal
Move the signal lever down (for a left
turn) or up (for a right turn) to the stop
position. The signal will self-cancel after
the turn is completed.
If the indicator light continues to flash
after a turn, manually return the lever to
its original position.

Green indicators on the dashboard show
which signal is working.
Lane-change signals
Move the lever slightly toward the
direction of the change―until the
indicator flashes―and hold it there. It
will return to the off position when
released.
NOTE
If an indicator light stays on without
flashing or if it flashes abnormally, one
of the turn signal bulbs may be burned
out.

WARNING
Do not replace the xenon fusion bulbs
yourself:
Replacing the xenon fusion bulbs
yourself is dangerous. Because the
xenon fusion bulbs require high
voltage, you could receive an electric
shock if the bulbs are handled
incorrectly. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer when the replacement is
necessary.
Handling Halogen Bulbs:
When a halogen bulb breaks, it is
dangerous. These bulbs contain
pressurized gas. If one is broken, it
will explode and serious injuries could
be caused by the flying glass.
If the glass portion is touched with
bare hands, body oil could cause the
bulb to overheat and explode when lit.
Never touch the glass portion of the
bulb with your bare hands and always
wear eye protection when handling or
working around halogen bulbs.
Children and Halogen Bulbs:
Playing with a halogen bulb is
dangerous. Serious injuries could be
caused by dropping a halogen bulb or
breaking it some other way.
Always keep halogen bulbs out of the
reach of children.
qReplacing Exterior Light Bulbs
Replacing a headlight bulb
(Without turbocharger)
1. Make sure the ignition switch is turned
off and the headlight switch is off.
2. Lift the hood.
3. Turn the screws counterclockwise and
remove them and the cover when
replacing the left headlight bulb.
Cover
4. Find the high and low beam bulbs in
the rear of the headlight unit.
The outboard bulb is the LOW beam,
and the inboard one is the HIGH beam.
Refer to Light Bulbs on page 8-41.
(With turbocharger)
1. Make sure the ignition switch is turned
