Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds

Output Restriction Warning Indication/Warning Light

“Acceleration Limited” displays/turns on

The indication/light displays/turns on under the following conditions. The vehicle speed may not increase even if the accelerator pedal is depressed because the motor output is restricted.

  • EV system is protected from overheating

  • High voltage battery level is low

  • High voltage battery temperature is low

“Acceleration Limited” displays/flashing

If the vehicle continues to be driven with the output restriction warning indication/warning light turned on, the output restriction warning light flashes.

The vehicle speed may not increase even if the accelerator pedal is depressed because the motor output is further restricted compared to the condition in which the output restriction warning light turns on.

“Excessive EV System Temp. Acceleration Limited Avoid Moving at Very Low Speeds. Depress Brake When Not Moving” or “Vehicle Cannot Hold Position. Depress Brake Pedal to Avoid Rolling” displays/turns on

When the vehicle is stopped on an upslope or the vehicle is driven at low speed on an upslope with the selector lever in the D or R position, the indication/light may display/turn on.

If necessary, park the vehicle in a safe place and let the EV system cool down because the output is restricted until the EV system returns to the normal temperature.

 


When the output restriction warning indication/warning light displays/turns on or flashes, check the safety of the surroundings:

The motor output decreases and the vehicle speed decreases resulting in an accident. If the vehicle cannot be driven safety, stop the vehicle in a safe place.

ABS Warning Indication/Warning Light

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.

 


The brake assist system does not operate while the ABS warning light is illuminated.

TCS/DSC Indication/Indicator Light (Turns on)

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

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Indication/Warning Light (Flashing)

If there is a problem with the TPMS or the voltage of a tire pressure sensor decreases, the TPMS warning light flashes and a message is displayed on the multi-information display. Have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

 


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.
