Driving Your Mazda

These temporary malfunctions can be
corrected by filling the fuel tank with
good quality fuel and/or properly tight-
ening the gas cap. After three driving
cycles without these or any other tempo-
rary malfunctions present, the malfunc-
tion indicator light should turn off. (A
driving cycle consists of a cold engine
startup followed by mixed city/highway
driving.) No additional vehicle service is
required.
If the malfunction indicator light remains
on, have your vehicle serviced at the first
available opportunity.
If the check engine light is blinking:
Engine misfire is occurring which could
damage your catalytic converter. You
should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid
heavy acceleration and deceleration) and
have your vehicle serviced at the first
available opportunity.
