Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds

The message is displayed if the electric power steering has a malfunction.

If the message is displayed, stop the vehicle in a safe place and do not operate the steering wheel. There is no problem if the indication turns off when the engine is restarted after some time has passed. If the indication displays even after the engine is restarted, contact an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) if the message is displayed continuously.

 

---

• If the message is displayed, the 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, or the steering wheel could vibrate when turning.

• 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 wait several minutes for the system to return to normal.

“Keyless Entry System Malfunc. Have the Vehicle Inspected” is displayed

This message is displayed if the advanced keyless entry & push button start system has a problem.

Contact an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer).

 

---

If the message is indicated, or the push button start indicator light (amber) flashes, the engine may not start. If the engine cannot be started, try starting it using the emergency operation for starting the engine, and have the vehicle inspected at an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) as soon as possible.

Refer to Emergency Operation for Starting the Engine (Search).

“Key Not Detected” is displayed

• If the presence of the key cannot be detected (dead battery, battery malfunction, no key), it is displayed when the driver attempts to start the engine (push button start operation, brake pedal depression).

• Displayed when it is determined that a key that was in the vehicle has been removed from the vehicle. (Key taken out warning. Other than IG-OFF).

If the security indicator light flashes continuously while you are driving, do not shut off the engine. Go to an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) and have it checked. If the engine is shut off while the indicator light is flashing, you will not be able to restart it.

Make sure the key is within the operational range for signal transmission. Switch the ignition off, and then restart the engine. If the engine does not start after 3 or more tries, contact an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer).

 

---

Because the electronic codes are reset when the immobilizer system is repaired, the keys are needed. Make sure to bring all the keys to an Authorised Mazda Repairer so that they can be programmed.

If a tyre pressure decreases below the specified air pressure, the TPMS warning light turns on.

At the same time, a message and the tyre pressure of each tyre are displayed on the multi-information display alternately. In addition, the tyre (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 tyre may burst which could lead to an accident. Take appropriate measures as soon as possible.

While the TPMS is learning the tyre positions, such as immediately after a tyre position has been changed, the tyre pressure at the tyre position prior to it being changed is displayed until the system completes the learning. For this reason, the tyre pressures displayed for the tyre positions may be different from the actual tyre pressures at the tyre positions.

Action to be taken

Adjust the tyre pressures to the appropriate pressures.

Refer to Tyre Inflation Pressure (Search).

 

---

• Adjust the tyre pressures while the tyres are cool. Because the air pressure in the tyres fluctuates depending on the temperature, before adjusting the tyre pressures, let the vehicle sit for an hour or drive it only within a 1.6 km (1 mile) distance. If the tyre pressures are adjusted while the tyres are warm, the tyre 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 tyres 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 tyre pressures while the tyres are cool.

• After adjusting the tyre 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 tyre pressures, one of the tyres may have a puncture.
