Door-Ajar Warning Light
This warning light comes on when any
door or liftgate isn’t securely closed.
▼
TCS Warning Light
This warning light stays on for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position. It flashes when the
system regulates engine torque.
If the light stays on, the traction control
system may have a malfunction and it
may not operate correctly. Take your
vehicle to an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Immobilizer System Warning/
Security Indicator Light
Immobilizer system warning light
When the key is in the ignition switch,
this light serves as the immobilizer system
warning light.
If the immobilizer system is working
properly, the light will come on when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON or
START position. The light will go out
when confirmation by the immobilizer
system is completed.
If the light flashes rapidly, fails to come
on, or comes on and stays on, it indicates
a system malfunction. If any of these
occur, contact an Authorized Mazda
Dealer as soon as possible.
Security indicator light
When there is no key in the ignition
switch, and the theft-deterrent system has
been armed, the light will flash once every
3 seconds. This indicates that the system
is working properly.
NOTE
•
In addition to the TCS warning light
flashing, a slight lugging sound will
come from the engine. This
indicates that the traction control
system is operating properly.
•
On slippery surfaces, such as fresh
snow, it will be impossible to
achieve high rpm when the traction
control system is on.
