TCS/DSC Indicator Light

This indicator light stays on for a few 
seconds when the ignition switch is turned 
to the ON position. If the TCS or DSC is 
operating, the indicator light flashes.

If the light stays on, the TCS or DSC may 
have a malfunction and they may not 
operate correctly. Take your vehicle to an 
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

DSC OFF Indicator Light

This indicator light stays on for a few 
seconds when the ignition switch is turned 
to the ON position.
It also comes on when the DSC OFF switch 
is pressed and TCS/DSC is switched off.

If the light stays on when the TCS/DSC is 
not switched off, take your vehicle to an 
Authorized Mazda Dealer. The dynamic 
stability control may have a malfunction.

•

The DSC may not operate correctly 
unless the following are observed:

•

Use tires of the correct size 
specified for your Mazda on all 
four wheels.

•

Use tires of the same 
manufacturer, brand and tread 
pattern on all four wheels.

•

Do not mix worn tires.

•

The DSC may not operate correctly 
when using tire chains or the 
temporary spare tire.

•

If repair or replacement of the 
steering or other surrounding 
equipment is necessary, have it done 
at an Authorized Mazda Dealer. If 
the center position of the steering 
deviates, the DSC may not operate 
correctly because there is a sensor 
in the steering which detects driving 
conditions.

CAUTION

NOTE

If the battery is disconnected, the DSC 
will be inoperable. In this case, the DSC 
OFF indicator light flashes and the 
TCS/DSC indicator light illuminates.
To make the DSC operable, do the 
following procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON 

position.

2. Turn the steering clockwise fully, 

then turn it counterclockwise fully.

3. Make sure the DSC OFF indicator 

goes off.

4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF 

position, then turn it to the ON 
position again.

5. Make sure the TCS/DSC indicator 

light goes off.

If the TCS/DSC indicator light and the 
DSC OFF indicator light remain 
illuminated even after turning the 
ignition switch to the ON position, 
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
