Driving Your Mazda

Warning/Indicator Lights and Beeps

Form No. 8R65-EA-03C

ABS Warning Light

The warning light stays on for a few 
seconds when the ignition switch is turned 
to the ON position.

If the ABS warning light stays on while 
you

re driving, the ABS control unit has 

detected a system malfunction. If this 
occurs, your brakes will function 
normally as if the vehicle had no ABS.
Should this happen, consult an Authorized 
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

Air Bag/Front Seat Belt 
Pretensioner System Warning 
Light

If the air bag/front seat belt pretensioner 
system is normal, the warning light 
illuminates when the ignition switch is 
turned to the ON position or after the 
engine is cranked. After about 6 seconds it 
goes out.

A system malfunction is indicated when 
the warning light constantly flashes, 
illuminates or doesn

t illuminate at all 

when the ignition switch is turned to the 
ON position. If any of these occur, consult 
an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as 
possible. The system may not work in an 
accident.

ABS Warning Light and Brake 
Warning Light on at the Same Time:
Driving when the brake system 
warning light and ABS warning light 
are on at the same time is dangerous.
When both lights are on, the rear 
wheels could lock more quickly in an 
emergency stop than under normal 
circumstances.
Don

t drive with both lights on, and 

contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer 
to have the brakes inspected as soon 
as possible.

WARNING

NOTE

When the engine is jump-started to 
charge the battery, uneven rpm occurs 
and the ABS warning light comes on. 
This is due to a weak battery, not a 
malfunction.
Recharge the battery.
