control unit determines that some
components are operating incorrectly, the
control unit may illuminate the brake
system warning light and the ABS

brake force distribution system.

light and brake warning light
illuminated. Have the vehicle towed to
an Authorized Mazda Dealer to have
the brakes inspected as soon as

the right-of-way. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

Do not continue driving when the
charging system warning light is
illuminated because the engine could
