Warning/Indicator Lights and Beeps

▼ TCS Indicator Light

This indicator light stays on for a few 
seconds when the ignition switch is turned 
to the ON position. If the TCS is 
operating, the indicator light flashes.

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

▼ TCS OFF Indicator Light

This light comes on when the ignition 
switch is turned to the ON position.
It goes off when the engine is started. It 
also comes on when you switch off the 
traction control system or when the 
system has a malfunction.

▼ Cruise Set Indicator Light

This light comes on when a cruising speed 
is set.

▼ Light-On Indicator Light

This indicator light comes on when the 
exterior lights are on.

If the hold indicator light flashes, the 
transaxle has an electrical problem. 
Continuing to drive your Mazda in this 
condition could cause damage to your 
transaxle. Consult an Authorized 
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

NOTE

• In addition to the indicator light 

flashing, a slight lugging sound will 
come from the engine. This 
indicates that the TCS is operating 
properly.

• On slippery surfaces, such as fresh 

snow, it will be impossible to 
achieve high rpm when the TCS is 
on.

CAUTION

NOTE

After starting the engine on very cold 
days, the TCS OFF indicator will 
remain on and TCS will not operate 
until the engine is warm.

position. The signal will self-cancel after 
the turn is completed.

If the indicator light continues to flash

Driving Your Mazda

Switches and Controls

In Canada, vehicles must be driven with 
the headlights on during daytime 
operation.

For that reason, the daytime running lights 
automatically turn on when the ignition 
switch is turned to the ON position.

The ignition switch must be in the ON 
position.

Daytime Running Lights

NOTE

the running lights go off when the 
parking brake is applied.

Windshield Wipers and 
Washer

Frozen Washer Fluid:
Using windshield washer fluid in 
freezing temperatures is dangerous. 
The washer fluid could freeze on the 
windshield and block your vision.
You could have an accident. Don’t use 
the washer without first warming the 
windshield.

NOTE

Because heavy ice and snow can jam 
the wiper blades, the wiper motor is 
protected by a circuit breaker. This 
mechanism will automatically stop 
operation of the blades, but only for 
about 5 minutes.
If this happens, turn off the wiper 
switch and park off the right-of-way, 
and remove the snow and ice.
After 5 minutes, turn on the switch and 
the blades should operate normally. If 
they don’t resume functioning, consult 
an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon 
as possible.

Climate Control System

▼ Operating the Climate Control 

System

Operate the climate control system with 
the engine running.

▼ Clearing the Air Inlet

Clear all obstructions like leaves, snow 
and ice from the hood and the air inlet in 
the cowling grille to improve the system 
efficiency.

▼ Foggy Windows

The windows may fog up easily in humid 
weather. Use the climate control system to 
defog the windows.

To help defog the windows, operate the air 
conditioner to dehumidify the air.

▼ Outside/Recirculated Air 

Position

Use the outside air position in normal 
conditions. The recirculated air position 
can be used temporarily when driving on 
dusty roads or for quick cooling of the 
interior.

▼ Parking in Direct Sunlight

If the vehicle has been parked in direct 
sunlight during hot weather, open the 
windows to let warm air escape, then run 
the climate control system.

▼ Not Using for a Long Period

Run the air conditioner at least once a 
month to keep internal parts lubricated.

▼ Check the Refrigerant before 

Weather Gets Hot

Have the air conditioner checked before 
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant 
may make the air conditioner less 
efficient. Consult an Authorized Mazda 
Dealer for refrigerant inspection.

The optional air conditioner is filled with 
R134a, a refrigerant that will not damage 
the ozone layer.
If the air conditioner is low on refrigerant 
or has a malfunction, consult an 
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

▼ Replacement of the Cabin Air 

Filter

If your vehicle is equipped with an air 
filter for the air conditioner, it is necessary 
to change the filter periodically as 
indicated in scheduled maintenance (page 
8-3). Consult an Authorized Mazda 
Dealer for replacement of the cabin air 
filter.
