Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
If a Warning Light Turns On or Flashes
If any warning light turns on/flashes, take appropriate action for each light. There is no problem if the light turns off, however if the light does not turn off or turns on/flashes again, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
If the warning light/indicator light turns on or flashes, park the vehicle in a safe place immediately and take appropriate measures.
Continuing to drive the vehicle while ignoring the illumination/flashing of the warning light/indicator light is dangerous because a problem may occur to a vehicle system, or it could lead to an accident.

Electronic Brake Force Distribution System Warning
If the electronic brake force distribution control unit determines that some components are operating incorrectly, the control unit may illuminate the brake system warning light and the ABS warning light simultaneously. The problem is likely to be the electronic brake force distribution system.
