Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds

 Signal 

 Warning 

 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 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 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 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.

  Do not continue driving when the charging system warning light is illuminated 
because the engine could stop unexpectedly.
