Brake System Warning Light (Red)
This warning has the following functions:
Parking brake warning/Indicator light inspection
The light illuminates when the parking brake is applied with the vehicle power switched to START or ON. It turns off when the parking brake is released.
When the light turns on
The light turns on continuously if any one of the following occurs:
-
Insufficient brake fluid
-
Brake system (electronic brake force distribution system) has a problem
Park the vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Do not drive with the brake system warning light illuminated. Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer to have the brakes inspected as soon as possible.
Driving with the brake system warning light illuminated is dangerous. It indicates that your brakes may not work at all or that they could completely fail at any time. If this light remains illuminated, after checking that the parking brake is fully released, have the brakes inspected immediately.
If the brake system warning light and the ABS warning light 
turn on at the same time, stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
The rear wheels could lock more quickly in an emergency stop than under normal circumstances which could result in an accident.
-
In addition, the effectiveness of the braking may diminish so you may need to depress the brake pedal more strongly than normal to stop the vehicle.
-
The brake warning light may turn on when the engine is started. In this case, park the vehicle in a safe location and release the brake pedal. If the brake warning light remains illuminated, have the vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Electric Power Steering Warning Light
The warning light turns on if the electric power steering has a malfunction.
If the warning light turns on, stop the vehicle in a safe place and switch the vehicle power OFF.
There is no problem if the warning light turns off when the engine is restarted after some time has passed.
If the warning light turns on even after the engine is restarted, contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
-
If the warning light turns on, the electric power steering will not operate normally. In this case, the steering wheel can still be operated, however, the operation may feel heavy compared to normal.
-
Repeatedly jerking the steering wheel left and right while the vehicle is stopped or moving extremely slowly will cause the power steering system to go into protective mode which will make the steering feel heavy, but this does not indicate a problem. If this occurs, park the vehicle safely and do not operate the steering wheel. The system will return to normal after a few minutes.
ABS Warning Light
The light remains on if the system has a problem.
Have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
If the brake system warning light 
and the ABS warning light turn on at the same time, stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
The rear wheels could lock more quickly in an emergency stop than under normal circumstances which could result in an accident.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Light (Flashing) (Some Models)
The light flashes if there is a malfunction in the system.
Contact 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.
High Beam Control System (HBC) Warning Light (Amber) (Some Models)
The light turns on if the system has a problem.
Have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Wrench Indicator Light

-
When the preset maintenance period has arrived.
Refer to the Mazda Connect “Vehicle Status Monitor”.
-
When the maintenance period arrives, have your vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. If maintenance is neglected, a decrease in vehicle performance may occur which could cause damage. Have your vehicle inspected before the maintenance period arrives.
-
If the vehicle continues to be driven after the engine oil replacement period has passed, it could cause damage to the engine. Replace the engine oil before the maintenance period arrives.
-
-
The wrench indication/indicator light may display/turn on earlier than the preset period depending on vehicle usage conditions.
-
Whenever the engine oil is replaced, a reset of the vehicle engine control unit is necessary.
Refer to the Mazda Connect “Vehicle Status Monitor”.
