The light illuminates when the electric parking brake (EPB) is
applied with the igni-
tion switched to START or ON. It turns off when the electric pa rking brake (EPB) is
released.
When the light turns on
If the brake system warning light remains turned on even though the electric parking
brake (EPB) is released, the brak e fluid may be low or there could be a problem with
the brake system. Park the vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact an Author-
ized Mazda Dealer.
When the light is flashing
The light flashes if the electric parking brake (EPB) has a mal function.
If the light remains flashing ev en if the electric parking brake (EPB) switch is operat-
ed, consult an Authorized Mazd a Dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING
Do not drive with the brake system warning light illuminated. Contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer to have the brakes inspected as soon as possible:
Driving with the brake system warning light illuminated is dangerous. It indicates that
your brakes may not work at all or that they could completely fail at any time. If this
light remains illuminated, after checking that the parking brake is fully released, have
the brakes inspected immediately.
CAUTION
In addition, the effectiveness of the braking may diminish so you may need to depress
the brake pedal more strongly than normal to stop the vehicle.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution System Wa r n i n g If the electronic brake force di
stribution control unit determines that some compo-
nents are operating incorrectly , the control unit may illuminate the brake system
warning light and the ABS warni ng 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 Authorized Mazda Dealer to have the brakes inspected as
soon as possible:
Driving when the brake system warning li ght and ABS warning light are illuminated
simultaneously is dangerous.
When both lights are illuminate d, the rear wheels could lock more quickly in an emer‐
gency stop than under normal circumstances.
