NOTE

When the engine is jump-started to charge the
battery, uneven rpm occurs and the ABS
warning light comes on. This is due to a weak
battery, not a malfunction.
Recharge the battery.

qElectronic Brake Force

Distribution System Warning

í

If the electronic brake force distribution
control unit determines that some
components are operating incorrectly, the
control unit may turn the brake system
warning light and the ABS warning light
on at the same time. 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 light and ABS warning light
are illuminated at the same time is
dangerous.
When both lights are illuminated, the
rear wheels could lock more quickly
in an emergency stop than under
normal circumstances.

qCharging System Warning Light

This warning light illuminates when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
position and turns off when the engine is
started.

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

Don't continue driving when the
charging system warning light is
illuminated because the engine could
stop unexpectedly.

qEngine Oil Pressure Warning Light

This warning light illuminates when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
position and turns off when the engine is
started.

This warning light indicates low engine
oil pressure.
