If Trouble Arises
Emergency Towing
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.
 
 The vehicle must be pulled straight
to the rear so that no load is applied
to the vehicle in the lateral direction.
  The bumper may be damaged if the
tie down hook is used as a towing
hook.
  When using a metal chain or wire
lead, wrap a cloth around the
attachment area. If the metal chain
or wire lead contacts the bumper
directly, the bumper could be
scratched or damaged.

Signal Warning


Electronic Brake Force
Distribution System
Warning If the electronic brake force distribution control unit determines that some components
are operating incorrectly, the control unit may illuminate the brake system warning
light and the ABS warning light simultaneously. The problem is likely to be the
electronic brake force distribution system. WARNING
Do not drive with both the ABS warning light and brake warning light
illuminated. Have the vehicle towed to an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer to have the brakes inspected as soon as possible:
Driving when the brake system warning light and ABS warning light are
illuminated simultaneously is dangerous.
When both lights are illuminated, the rear wheels could lock more quickly in an
emergency stop than under normal circumstances.


Charging System
Warning Light If the warning light turns on while driving, it indicates a problem with the generator or
the charging system.
Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way. Consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving when the charging system warning light is illuminated
because the engine could stop unexpectedly.
