“Excessive Soot Levels in Filter. Drive Until Warning Light Turns Off” is displayed/When the light is turned on
The particulate matter (PM) cannot be removed automatically and the amount of collected PM reaches a specified amount.
After the engine has sufficiently warmed up (engine coolant temperature of 80 °C (176 °F) or more), depress the accelerator pedal and drive the vehicle at a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) or more for about 30 minutes to eliminate the PM.
“Abnormal Soot Levels in Filter. Have the Vehicle Inspected.” is displayed/When the light is flashing
Contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
If the vehicle is continually driven as usual with the petrol particulate filter warning light illuminated, PM increases and the warning light may start flashing. If the petrol particulate filter warning light starts flashing, have the vehicle inspected immediately at an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer. If the vehicle is not inspected and continues to be driven, the engine may malfunction.

When the petrol particulate filter warning light flashes, the engine output is restricted to protect the petrol particulate filter.
