If this light comes on while driving, the 
vehicle may have a problem. It is 
important to note the driving conditions 
when the light came on and consult an 
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

The check engine light may come on in 
the following cases:

•

The fuel tank level being very low or 
approaching empty.

•

The engine’s electrical system has a 
problem.

•

The emission control system has a 
problem.

•

The fuel-filler cap is missing or not 
tightened securely.

If the check engine light remains on or 
flashes continuously, do not drive at high 
speeds and consult an Authorized Mazda 
Dealer as soon as possible.

Don’t run the engine if oil pressure is 
low. It could result in extensive engine 
damage.
