WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have

the respective system inspected immediately.

Check engine

Illuminates briefly to ensure the system is functional. If it comes on after the engine is started, one of the engine’s emission control systems may be malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern being noted and will not require towing.

Light turns on (without blinking):

Temporary malfunctions may cause your light to illuminate. Examples are:

1. The vehicle has run out of fuel.

2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.

3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely tightened.

These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank with high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or properly installing and securely tightening the fuel cap. After three driving cycles without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the light

should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle service is required.

If the light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.

NOTE: The with the engine running.

WARNING: Never refuel vehicle with the engine running.

Light is blinking:

Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter. You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.

WARNING: Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

Check gage

Illuminates when the engine coolant temperature is high, the engine oil pressure is low or the fuel gauge is at or near empty. Refer to Engine coolant temperature gauge, Engine oil pressure gauge or Fuel gauge in this chapter for more information.

Brake system warning

To confirm the brake system warning light is functional, it will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is turned to the ON position (alternatively for some vehicles when the ignition is moved from the ON position to START position, the light will momentarily illuminate prior to reaching the START position). It also illuminates if the parking brake is engaged. If the brake system warning light does not illuminate as described, seek service immediately. Illumination after the parking brake is released indicates low brake fluid

level or a brake system malfunction and the brake system should be serviced immediately by a qualified technician. Refer to Brakes in the Driving chapter for more information.

WARNING: Illumination after releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and the brake system should be inspected immediately.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

Illuminates to ensure the circuit is functional.

WARNING: If the light remains on, continues to flash or fails to illuminate, have the system serviced immediately. With the ABS light on, the anti-lock brake system is disabled and normal braking is still effective unless the brake warning light also remains illuminated with the parking brake released.

Safety belt

Illuminates to remind you to fasten your safety belts. For more information, refer to the Seating and safety restraints chapter.

ABS

Air bag readiness

Illuminates to confirm that the air bags (front or side) are operational. If the light fails to illuminate, continues to flash or remains on, have the system serviced immediately.

Instrument Cluster

Passenger Air bag Deactivation switch warning light

Illuminates to warn that the passenger air bag is deactivated, refer to Passenger Air Bag ON/OFF Switch in the Seating and Safety chapter.

Charging system

Illuminates when the battery is not charging properly.

Check fuel cap

Illuminates when the fuel cap is not installed correctly. Check the fuel cap for proper installation. When the fuel filler cap is properly re-installed, the light(s) will turn off after a period of normal driving. Continuing to operate the vehicle with the check fuel cap light on, or a mis-installed fuel cap can activate the Check Engine warning light.

It may take a long period of time for the system to detect an improperly installed fuel filler cap.

For more information, refer to Fuel filler cap in the Maintenance and specifications chapter.

If the light does not come on or the light flashes steadily, have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, damage to the transmission could occur.

Turn signals

Illuminates when the turn signals or the hazard lights are turned on. If the lights stay on continuously or flash faster, check for a burned-out bulb.

GAUGES

Engine coolant temperature gauge

Indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. At normal operating temperature, the needle remains within the normal area (the area between the “H” and “C”).

If it enters the red section, the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the engine immediately and let the engine cool.

Refer to Engine coolant in the Maintenance and specifications chapter.

WARNING: Never remove the coolant reservoir cap and/or the radiator cap while the engine is running or hot, this may result in serious burns.

NOTE: This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not

the coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level the gauge indication will not be accurate.

Instrument Cluster

Engine oil pressure gauge

Indicates engine oil pressure. At normal operating temperature, the needle will be in the normal range (the area between the “L” and “H”);

if the needle goes below the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and switch off the engine immediately. Check the oil level.

Add oil if needed (refer to Engine oil in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter). If the oil level is

correct, have your vehicle checked by your authorized Mazda dealership.

Battery voltage gauge

Indicates battery voltage. NOTE: If the pointer moves and

stays outside the normal operating range (as indicated by arrows), have the vehicle’s electrical system checked as soon as possible.

Fuel gauge

Displays approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge may vary slightly when the vehicle is in motion or on a grade.

When refueling the vehicle from empty indication, the amount of fuel that can be added will be less than the advertised capacity due to the reserve fuel.

NOTE: The FUEL DOOR icon and arrow indicates which side of the vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
