Smart Brake Support/Smart City Brake Support (SBS/SCBS) Warning Indication

The warning indication is displayed if the windscreen or the radar sensor are dirty, or there is a malfunction in the system.

Verify the reason why the warning indication is displayed on the centre display.

If the reason why the warning indication is displayed is due to a dirty windscreen, clean the windscreen.

If the warning indication is displayed because of a dirty radar sensor, clean the front emblem.

For any other reasons, have the vehicle inspected at an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Low Fuel Warning Indication/Warning Light

The light turns on when the remaining fuel is about 9.0 L (2.3 US gal, 1.9 Imp gal).

 


The light illumination timing may vary because fuel inside the fuel tank moves around according to the driving conditions and the vehicle posture.

Add fuel.

Engine Oil Level Warning Light

This warning light indicates that the engine oil level is around the MIN mark (Search).

Add 1 L (0.3 US gal, 0.2 Imp gal) of engine oil (Search).

Seat Belt Warning Light (Front seat)

The seat belt warning light turns on if the driver or front passenger's seat is occupied and the seat belt is not fastened with the ignition switched ON.

If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened (only when the front passenger's seat is occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning light flashes. After a short time, the warning light stops flashing, but remains illuminated. If a seat belt remains unfastened, the warning light flashes again for a given period of time.

 


  • If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened after the warning light turns on, and the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning light flashes again.

  • Placing heavy items on the front passenger's seat may cause the front passenger's seat belt warning function to operate depending on the weight of the item.

  • To allow the front passenger seat weight 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 light may not operate.

Fasten the seat belts.

(Red)

Seat Belt Warning Light (Rear seat)

If the rear seat belts are not fastened while the ignition is switched ON , the driver and the passenger are alerted by the warning light.

The warning light operates even if there is no passenger on the rear seat.

 


If a rear seat belt is not fastened by a certain period of time after the engine has been started, the warning light turns off.

Fasten the seat belts.

Door-Ajar/Liftgate-Ajar Warning Indication/Warning Light

The light turns on if any door/liftgate is not closed securely.

Close the door/liftgate securely.

(White)

KEY Warning Indication

The key battery is dead.

Replace the key battery (Search).

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light (Turns on)

Take the appropriate action and verify that the warning light turns off.

Warning

When the warning light illuminates, and the warning beep sound is heard when tyre pressure is too low in one or more tyres.

 


If the tyre pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or flashes, or the tyre pressure warning beep sound is heard, decrease vehicle speed immediately and avoid sudden manoeuvring and braking:

If the tyre pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or flashes, or the tyre pressure warning beep sound is heard, it is dangerous to drive the vehicle at high speeds, or perform sudden manoeuvring or braking. Vehicle drivability could worsen and result in an accident.

To determine if you have a slow leak or a flat, pull over to a safe position where you can check the visual condition of the tyre and determine if you have enough air to proceed to a place where air may be added and the system monitored again by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer or a tyre repair station.

Do not ignore the TPMS Warning Light:

Ignoring the TPMS warning light is dangerous, even if you know why it is illuminated. Have the problem taken care of as soon as possible before it develops into a more serious situation that could lead to tyre failure and a dangerous accident.

 

Action to be taken

Inspect the tyres and adjust to the specified inflation pressure (Search).

 


When replacing/repairing the tyres or wheels or both, have the work done by an Authorised Mazda Repairer, or the tyre pressure sensors may be damaged.

 


  • Perform tyre pressure adjustment when the tyres are cold. Tyre pressure will vary according to the tyre temperature, therefore let the vehicle stand for 1 hour or only drive it 1.6 km (1 mile) or less before adjusting the tyre pressures. When pressure is adjusted on hot tyres to the cold inflation pressure, the TPMS warning light/beep may turn on after the tyres cool and pressure drops below specification.

    Also, an illuminated TPMS warning light, resulting from the tyre air pressure dropping due to cold ambient temperature, may turn off if the ambient temperature rises. In this case, it will also be necessary to adjust the tyre air pressures. If the TPMS warning light illuminates due to a drop in tyre air pressure, make sure to check and adjust the tyre air pressures.

  • After adjusting the tyre air pressures, it may require some time for the TPMS warning light to turn off. If the TPMS warning light remains illuminated, drive the vehicle at a speed of at least 25 km/h (16 mph) for 10 minutes, and then verify that it turns off.

  • Tyres lose air naturally over time and the TPMS can tell if the tyres are getting too soft over time or you have a flat. However, when you find one low tyre in a set of four-that is an indication of trouble; you should have someone drive the vehicle slowly forward so you can inspect any low tyre for cuts and any metal objects sticking through tread or sidewall. Put a few drops of water in the valve stem to see if it bubbles indicating a bad valve. Leaks need to be addressed by more than simply refilling the trouble tyre as leaks are dangerous ― take it to an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer which has all the equipment to fix tyres, TPMS systems and order the best replacement tyre for your vehicle.

If the warning light illuminates again even after the tyre pressures are adjusted, there may be a tyre puncture.
