qDSC OFF Indicator Light

This indicator light stays on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched ON.

It also illuminates when the DSC OFF switch is pressed and TCS/DSC is switched off (page 5-22).

If the light stays on when the TCS/DSC is not switched off, take your vehicle to an Authorized Mazda Dealer. The dynamic stability control may have a malfunction.

qDSC OFF Switch

Press the DSC OFF switch to turn off the TCS/DSC. The DSC OFF indicator light will illuminate.

NOTE

lWhen DSC is on and you attempt to free the vehicle when it is stuck, or drive it out of freshly fallen snow, the TCS (part of the DSC system) will activate. Depressing the accelerator will not increase engine power

and freeing the vehicle may be difficult. When this happens, turn off the TCS/DSC.

lIf the TCS/DSC is off when the engine is

turned off, it automatically activates when the ignition is switched ON.

lLeaving the TCS/DSC on will provide the best stability.

Press the switch again to turn the TCS/ DSC back on. The DSC OFF indicator light will go out.
