Warning/Indicator Lights and Beep Sounds

The gear position indicator displays the gear in use while in either manual shift or direct mode.

qTCS/DSC Indicator Lightí

This indicator light stays on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched ON. If the TCS or DSC is operating, the indicator light flashes.

If the light stays on, the TCS or DSC may have a malfunction and they may not operate correctly. Take your vehicle to an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

NOTE

lIn addition to the indicator light flashing, a slight lugging sound will come from the engine. This indicates that the TCS is operating properly.

lOn slippery surfaces, such as fresh snow, it will be impossible to achieve high rpm when the TCS is on.

qDSC OFF Indicator Lightí

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 5-28).

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.

NOTE

If the battery is disconnected or a fuse is replaced, the DSC will be inoperable. In this case, the DSC OFF indicator light flashes and the TCS/DSC indicator light illuminates.

To make the DSC operable, do the following procedure with the battery connected.

1.Switch the ignition ON.

2.Turn the steering clockwise fully, then turn it counterclockwise fully.

3.Make sure the DSC OFF indicator turn off.

4.Switch the ignition off, then switch the ignition to ON again.

5.Make sure the TCS/DSC indicator light turns off.

If the TCS/DSC indicator light and the DSC OFF indicator light remain illuminated even after switching the ignition from ON to OFF, and back to ON, attempt the procedure again. If this still does not resolve the issue, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
