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 si‐
multaneously is dangerous.
When both lights are illuminated, the rear wheels could lock more quickly in an emer‐
gency stop than under normal circumstances.

Charging System Warn-

ing 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.

CAUTION

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

Engine Oil Warning

Light

This warning light indicates low engine oil pressure.

CAUTION

Do not run the engine if the oil pressure is low. Otherwise, it could result in extensive
engine damage.

If the light illuminates or the warning indication is displayed while driving:
1. Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way on level ground.
2. Turn off the engine and wait 5 minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan.
3. Inspect the engine oil level 6-26. If it's low, add the appropriate amount of engine

oil while being careful not to overfill.

CAUTION

Do not run the engine if the oil level is low. Otherwise, it could result in extensive
engine damage.

4. Start the engine and check the warning light.
 
If the light remains illuminated even though the oil level is normal or after adding oil,
stop the engine immediately and have your vehicle towed to an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
