When Driving

ABS/TCS/DSC

 DSC OFF Indicator Light

This indicator light stays on for a few 

seconds when the ignition is switched ON.

It also illuminates when the DSC OFF 

switch is pressed and TCS/DSC is 

switched off.

Refer to DSC OFF Switch on page 

4-65.

If the light remains illuminated and the 

TCS/DSC is not switched off, take your 

vehicle to an Authorized Mazda Dealer. 

The DSC may have a malfunction.

 DSC OFF Switch

Press the DSC OFF switch to turn off the 

TCS/DSC. The DSC OFF indicator light 

in the instrument cluster will illuminate.

Press the switch again to turn the TCS/

DSC back on. The DSC OFF indicator 

light will turn off.

NOTE

  When DSC is on and you attempt to free 

the vehicle when it is stuck, or drive 

it out of freshly fallen snow, the TCS 

(part of the DSC system) will activate. 

Depressing the accelerator will not 

increase engine power and freeing 

the vehicle may be difficult. When this 

happens, turn off the TCS/DSC.

  If the TCS/DSC is off when the engine 

is turned off, it automatically activates 

when the ignition is switched ON.

  Leaving the TCS/DSC on will provide 

the best traction. 

  If the DSC OFF switch is pressed and 

held for 10 seconds or more, the DSC 

OFF switch malfunction detection 

function operates and the DSC system 

activates automatically. The DSC OFF 

indicator light turns off while the DSC 

system is operative.
