If Trouble Arises
Battery Runs Out
1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Make sure the booster battery is 12
V and that its negative terminal is
grounded.
3. If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, do not allow both vehicles
to touch. Turn off the engine of the
vehicle with the booster battery and
all unnecessary electrical loads in both
vehicles.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact
sequence as in the illustration.
 

y
 Connect one end of a cable to the
positive terminal on the discharged
battery (1).
 

y
 Attach the other end to the positive
terminal on the booster battery (2).
 

y
 Connect one end of the other cable to
the negative terminal of the booster
battery (3).
 

y
 Connect the other end to the ground
point indicated in the illustration away
from the discharged battery (4).
5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle
and run it a few minutes. Then start the
engine of the other vehicle.
6. When fi nished, carefully disconnect the
cables in the reverse order described in

If Trouble Arises
Emergency Towing
CAUTION




¾ Do not tow the vehicle pointed
backward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal damage
to the transaxle.
 


¾ Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or fl atbed equipment.
Tiedown Hooks *
CAUTION
Do not use the front tiedown eyelet for
towing the vehicle.
They have been designed only for
securing the vehicle to a transport
vessel during shipping.
Using the eyelet for any other purpose
could result in the vehicle being
damaged.
Tiedown Hook-Front
1. Remove the tiedown eyelet and the lug
wrench from the luggage compartment
(page 7-3 ).
2. Wrap a jack lever or similar tool with
a soft cloth to prevent damage to a
painted bumper, and open the cap
located on the front bumper.
CAUTION
Do not use excessive force as it may
damage the cap or scratch the painted
bumper surface.

4. Hook the tying rope to the tiedown
eyelet.
CAUTION
If the tiedown eyelet is not securely
tightened, it may loosen or disengage
from the bumper when tying the
vehicle. Make sure that the tiedown
eyelet is securely tightened to the
bumper.
Tiedown Hook-Rear
The hook positioned under the rear
bumper on the right side is for tying down
the vehicle during transport, and it cannot
be used for towing other vehicles.
It can be used as a towing hook only when
the vehicle must be towed by another
vehicle in an emergency case such as when
the vehicle is stuck in snow, however, it
may damage the bumper.
Tiedown hook
CAUTION
When using the hook in such
emergency cases, observe the
following so as not to damage the
tiedown hook or the vehicle body.
 


¾ The vehicle must be pulled straight to
the rear so that no load is applied to the
vehicle in the lateral direction.
 


¾ The bumper may be damaged if the tie
down hook is used as a towing hook.
 


¾ When using a metal chain or wire cable,
wrap a cloth around the attachment
area. If the metal chain or wire cable
contacts the bumper directly, the
bumper could be scratched or damaged.

If Trouble Arises
Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
Signal Warning
ABS Warning Light 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. NOTE
y When the engine is jump-started to charge the battery, uneven rpm occurs and the ABS
warning light may illuminate. If this occurs, it is the result of the weak battery and does
not indicate an ABS malfunction.
Recharge the battery.
y The brake assist system does not operate while the ABS warning light is illuminated.
Check Engine Light If this light illuminates while driving, the vehicle may have a problem. It is important to
note the driving conditions when the light illuminated and consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
The check engine light may illuminate in the following cases:y The fuel tank level being very low or approaching empty. y The engine's electrical system has a problem. y The emission control system has a problem. y The fuel-fi ller cap is missing or not tightened securely.
If the check engine light remains on, or it fl ashes continuously , do not drive at high speeds
and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
Automatic
Transaxle Warning
Light The light illuminates when the transaxle has a problem.CAUTION
If the automatic transaxle warning light illuminates, the transaxle has an electrical
problem. Continuing to drive your Mazda in this condition could cause damage to your
transaxle. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
AWD Warning
Light*
When the light is turned on
If the AWD warning light illuminates, contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
y Illuminates when there is an abnormality with the AWD system. y Illuminates if there is too much difference in tire radius between the front and rear wheels.
When the light is fl ashing
Park the vehicle in a safe place. After a few moments, if the warning light stops fl ashing,
you can resume driving. If the light does not stop fl ashing, contact an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
y Flashes when the differential oil temperature is abnormally high. y Flashes when there is a continuous large difference between front and rear wheel rotation,
such as when trying to pull away from an icy surface or when trying to remove the vehicle
from mud, sand or similar conditions.

Signal Warning Action to be taken
Door-Ajar Warning Light The light turns on if any door is not closed
securely.
Close the door securely.
Low Washer Fluid
Level Warning Light
*
This warning light indicates that little washer
fl uid remains. Add washer fl
uid (page 6-32 ).
(Illuminate)
Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light
*
When the warning light illuminates, and the
warning beep sound is heard (about 3 seconds),
tire pressure is too low in one or more tires.
WARNING
If the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light illuminates or fl ashes, or the
tire pressure warning beep sound is heard,
decrease vehicle speed immediately and
avoid sudden maneuvering and braking: If the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light illuminates or fl ashes, or the
tire pressure warning beep sound is heard,
it is dangerous to drive the vehicle at high
speeds, or perform sudden maneuvering
or braking. Vehicle drivability could worsen
and result in an accident.
To determine if you have a slow leak or a
fl at, pull over to a safe position where you
can check the visual condition of the tire
and determine if you have enough air to
proceed to a place where air may be added
and the system monitored again by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer or a tire repair
station.
Do not ignore the TPMS Warning Light: Ignoring the TPMS warning light is
dangerous, even if you know why it is
illuminated. Have the problem taken care of
as soon as possible before it develops into
a more serious situation that could lead to
tire failure and a dangerous accident. Inspect the tires and adjust to the
specifi
ed infl ation pressure (page 6-42 ).
NOTE
yPerform tire pressure adjustment when
the tires are cold. Tire pressure will
vary according to the tire temperature,
therefore let the vehicle stand for 1
hour or only drive it 1.6 km (1 mile) or
less before adjusting the tire pressures.
When pressure is adjusted on hot tires
to the cold infl ation pressure, the TPMS
warning light/beep may turn on after
the tires cool and pressure drops below
specifi cation.
Also, an illuminated TPMS warning
light, resulting from the tire air
pressure dropping due to cold ambient
temperature will remain illuminated
even if the ambient temperature rises.
In this case, it will also be necessary
to adjust the tire air pressures. If the
TPMS warning light illuminates due to
a drop in tire air pressure, make sure to
check and adjust the tire air pressures.
yTires lose air naturally over time and the TPMS cannot tell if the tires are
getting too soft over time or you have
a fl at. However, when you fi nd one low
tire in a set of four-that is an indication
of trouble; you should have someone
drive the vehicle slowly forward so
you can inspect any low tire for cuts
and any metal objects sticking through
tread or sidewall. Put a few drops
of water in the valve stem to see if it
bubbles indicating a bad valve. Leaks
need to be addressed by more than
simply reinfl ating the tire as leaks are
dangerous — take it to an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
