Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
Lead-acid Battery Charging System Warning Indication/Warning Light
The lead-acid battery charging system warning indication/warning light displays/turns on if the charging system has a malfunction while the EV system is operating.
Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Do not drive the vehicle with the lead-acid battery charging system warning indication/warning light displayed/turned on:
Otherwise, the EV system could stop unexpectedly and the parking lock may not operate which could result in an accident.
Electric Parking Brake (EPB) Indication/Indicator Light
This warning has the following functions:
Parking brake warning/Indicator light inspection
If the electric parking brake (EPB) indicator light remains on even with the parking brake released, the system may have a malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
When the light is flashing
The light flashes if the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) has a malfunction. If the light remains flashing even if the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) switch is operated, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
Exterior Light Warning Indication/Warning Light
This light illuminates if there is a malfunction in the exterior lights (except license plate lights). Have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Do not drive the vehicle while an exterior light has a malfunction. Poor visibility, and not being able to signal braking and turns may cause an accident. In addition, if the vehicle is driven with the lights not turned on, it may conflict with laws and regulations due to poor maintenance.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Indication/Warning Light (Turns on)
If a tire pressure decreases below the specified air pressure, the TPMS warning light turns on.
At the same time, a message and the tire pressure of each tire are displayed on the multi-information display alternately. In addition, the tire (s) with low air pressure is displayed in yellow.
Do not drive the vehicle at high speeds if the TPMS warning light turns on or flashes:
Driving the vehicle at high speeds while the TPMS warning light is turned on or flashing is dangerous because the brake performance and the steering wheel operability will be reduced. If the vehicle is driven at high speeds or the brakes are suddenly applied, it could lead to an accident. Gradually apply the brakes to lower the vehicle's speed.
Do not ignore the TPMS warning light when it is turned on or flashing:
Continuing to drive the vehicle while ignoring the illumination/flashing of the TPMS warning light is dangerous because a tire may burst which could lead to an accident. Take appropriate measures as soon as possible.
While the TPMS is learning the tire positions, such as immediately after a tire position has been changed, the tire pressure at the tire position prior to it being changed is displayed until the system completes the learning. For this reason, the tire pressures displayed for the tire positions may be different from the actual tire pressures at the tire positions.
Action to be taken
Adjust the tire pressures to the appropriate pressures.
Refer to Tire Inflation Pressure (Search).
-
Adjust the tire pressures while the tires are cool. Because the air pressure in the tires fluctuates depending on the temperature, before adjusting the tire pressures, let the vehicle sit for an hour or drive it only within a 1.6 km (1 mile) distance. If the tire pressures are adjusted while the tires are warm, the tire pressures may decrease below the specified air pressure after cooling down which could turn on the warning light. In addition, because the air pressure in the tires decreases when the ambient temperature is low, if the ambient temperature increases, an illuminated TPMS warning light may turn off. Under any circumstances, always adjust the tire pressures while the tires are cool.
-
After adjusting the tire pressures, the TPMS warning light turns off. If the TPMS warning light does not turn off, drive the vehicle at a speed of about 25 km (16 mph) or faster for 3 minutes or longer and make sure the warning light turns off.
If the TPMS warning light remains on even after adjusting the tire pressures, one of the tires may have a puncture.
Warning Sound is Activated
Lights-On Reminder
Seat Belt Warning Beep
Front seat
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened when the power switch is switched ON, a beep sound will be heard for about 6 seconds. If the driver or the front passenger's seat belt is not fastened and if the vehicle is driven at about 20 km/h (12 mph) or faster, or about 10 km/h (6 mph) or faster for a continuous 30 seconds, with the seat belt unfastened, a sound is activated continuously for a certain period.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given period of time has elapsed, the beep sound will not stop even if the vehicle speed falls below 20 km/h (12 mph).
-
To allow the front passenger occupant classification sensor to function properly, do not place and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passenger's seat. The sensor may not function properly because the additional seat cushion could cause sensor interference.
-
If a small child is seated on the front passenger's seat, the warning beep may not operate.
Rear seat
The warning beep only sounds if a seat belt is unfastened after being fastened.
Key Left-in-vehicle Warning Beep (With the advanced keyless function)
If all the doors and luggage compartment are locked using another key while the key is left in the cabin, the beep which sounds outside of the vehicle will be heard for about 10 seconds to notify the driver that the key is in the cabin. In this case, take out the key by opening the door. A key taken out of the vehicle using this method may not operate because its functions have been temporarily stopped. To restore the key's functions, perform the applicable procedure (Search).
Remaining High Voltage Battery Power Warning Beep
When the remaining high voltage battery power warning indication displays, a warning beep is activated once at the same time.
Brake System Warning Beep
A warning beep is activated if a problem with the brake system occurs and the brakes may not work as intended. Decelerate the vehicle while checking the safety of the surrounding area, and park the vehicle in a safe place. After stopping the vehicle, contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
AUTOHOLD Warning Beep
Message is displayed and beep sound is activated simultaneously for about 5 seconds when using AUTOHOLD function or when AUTOHOLD switch is operated.
Because a problem with AUTOHOLD function has occurred, AUTOHOLD function does not operate even if AUTOHOLD switch is operated.
If the message is displayed and the beep sound is activated simultaneously, have your vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Battery Saving Mode Warning Sound
A warning sound is activated when the vehicle goes into Battery Saving Mode. Refer to Message Indicated on Multi-information Display (Search).
The warning sound will stop just after starting the EV system.
