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.
 (With M Hybrid)
When starting the engine, the brake
system warning light may turn on and
the warning indication may be
displayed. In this case, park the
vehicle in a safe location and release
the brake pedal.
If the brake system warning light/
warning indication does not turn

the vehicle inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

▼ 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 brake
system warning light and ABS 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
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
Indication/Warning Light
If the warning light illuminates while
driving , it indicates a malfunction of
the alternator or of the charging
system.
Drive to the side of the road and park
off the right-of-way. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving when the
charging system warning light is
illuminated because the engine could
stop unexpectedly.
▼Engine Oil Warning Indication/
Warning Light
This warning light indicates low engine
oil pressure.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine if the oil
pressure is low. Otherwise, it could
result in extensive engine damage.

Repeatedly jerking the steering
wheel left and right while the vehicle
is stopped or moving extremely
slowly will cause the power steering
system to go into protective mode
which will make the steering feel
heavy, but this does not indicate a
problem. If this occurs, park the
vehicle safely and wait several
minutes for the system to return to
normal.
▼ABS Warning Indicat ion/Warning
Light
If the ABS warning light stays on while
you're driving , the ABS control unit has

Should this happen, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
NOTE
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.

operate while the ABS warning light
is illuminated.
