The combination of different devices built sigalizatory and indicators (see. Fig. 1.59) that act as warning and / or warn the driver about the health and status of one of the operating units or systems of the car.
Light and sound alarm system malfunction airbags and seat belt pretensioners.  If the system of airbags and seat belt pretensioners on the front seats are in good condition, warning lamp will light up when you turn the ignition switch to ?�ON?� (ignition switched on) or when the starter. Then, after some time, alarm goes off. If the light stays on, or does not turn on when you turn the ignition switch to ?�ON?� (ignition switched on) - is a fault in the airbag system or the seat belt pretensioners. If the warning light indicates a malfunction, airbags or seat belt pretensioners may fail during a traffic accident.
ATTENTION It is strictly forbidden to interfere in the design of their own system of airbags or pretensioners. All maintenance and repair of these systems should be carried out at the service station official dealer of Mazda. Independent repair, maintenance or interference with the design of the system are dangerous. Airbag or pretensioner could accidentally fire or malfunction. This can lead to serious personal injury. |
The control lamp of brake system warning light / parking brake indicator. 
LED parking brake. The indicator lights up when the parking brake when the ignition switch is in position ?�START?� (starter) or ?�ON?� (ignition on). The indicator goes out when the parking brake is switched off completely.
Warning low brake fluid level. If the light stays on after the power parking brake - a possible reason is a brake system malfunction. Observing precautions immediately roll up to the curb or the edge of the roadway and stop. You may notice that the force on the brake pedal or the brake pedal stroke increased (pedal dropped to the floor). In both cases the braking distance of the car will increase. Check the brake fluid level. If necessary, add brake fluid and bring the level back to normal. After topping up the brake fluid check whether continuing to burn switch. If the light stays on or if there are signs of malfunctions of brake system, the further movement of the vehicle is prohibited.
NOTE The need for topping the brake fluid can sometimes be the result of a leak it, so immediately contact a station official Mazda dealer to check the functioning of the braking system, even if the indicator is not illuminated. |
ATTENTION It is dangerous to operate the vehicle if the warning lamp lights up the brake system. This indicates that your vehicle brake system may not work or deny any time. If the warning light remains on, after checking off the parking brake should immediately check the condition of the brake system. |
Warning battery discharge.  Warning lights up when you turn the ignition switch to ?�ON?� (ignition switched on) and goes out after starting the engine. If the warning light lights up while driving - this indicates a malfunction of the electric generator or power supply system. Observing precautions immediately roll up to the curb or the edge of the roadway and stop.
ATTENTION If the indicator lights battery discharge, the further movement of the vehicle is prohibited, as in this case, the motor may unexpectedly stall. |
Warning oil pressure in the engine.  This alarm warns the driver of low pressure in the engine lubrication system. Warning lights up when you turn the ignition switch to ?�ON?� (ignition switched on) and goes out after starting the engine.
ATTENTION It does not run the engine while the oil pressure warning. This can lead to engine damage. |
It is necessary to check the serviceability of the indicator oil pressure in the engine each time the ignition is switched. In case of alarm of failure you will not get a timely signal of the oil pressure and the engine can be damaged. If the warning light does not come on when the ignition without starting the engine. Contact a official Mazda dealer for inspection and repair signaling. If the warning light lights up while driving, follow these steps: 1. Being a precaution, immediately take the side of the road or to the edge of the roadway and stop on level ground. 2. Stop the engine and wait 5 minutes to the engine oil sump of the engine in the glass. 3. Check the engine oil level. If it is below the norm, add oil and bring the level back to normal.
Warning light engine systems.  Warning lights up when you turn the ignition switch to ?�ON?� (ignition switched on) and goes out after starting the engine. If the warning light lights up while driving - this could be a problem with the engine system. It is important to note and record (remember) when and under what conditions the movement caught fire alarm, in order to then inform the staff from the official dealer of Mazda. Warning light engine systems may come in the following cases: - Very low fuel level in the tank, or the tank is almost empty; - Faulty electrical system of the engine; - Faulty exhaust gas.
Anti-lock ABS system.  Warning lights for a few seconds after turning the ignition switch to ?�ON?� (ignition on). If the ABS warning lamp lights up while driving - this indicates that the ABS control unit found malfunction ABS. In this case, the braking system of your vehicle retains its performance and will operate as if the brakes on the car was missing. If the warning lamp lights up ABS, you should immediately call your dealer or qualified Mazda. If the vehicle battery is discharged and the engine is started from battery of another car, because of the uneven rotation of the crankshaft of the engine can ignite the ABS warning lamp. This occurs because of low battery voltage and faulty brakes. Charge the battery.
Alarm malfunction of the electronic brake force. If the control unit of the electronic brake force finds a violation of the normal functioning of one of the elements of the system can simultaneously illuminate the brake system warning light and ABS. The most likely cause is the inclusion of both signaling malfunction of the electronic brake force. It is dangerous to drive a car, if both are lit warning light and ABS brake system. In this case, emergency braking the vehicle rear wheels can lock up prematurely.
Light and sound signaling devices seat belt.  Warning unbelted lights when the ignition switch is turned to the ?�ON?� (ignition switched on) and the driver's belt is not fastened.
