q
TCS/DSC Indicator Light
This indicator light stays on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
ON. If the TCS or DSC is operating, the
indicator light flashes.
If the light stays on, the TCS, DSC or the

malfunction and they may not operate
correctly. Take your vehicle to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
l
In addition to the indicator light flashing, a
slight lugging sound will come from the
engine. This indicates that the TCS/DSC is
operating properly.

On slippery surfaces, such as fresh snow, it
will be impossible to achieve high rpm
