Tcs Off Indicator Light; Tcs Off Switch - Mazda CX-3 Owner's Manual

TCS OFF Indicator Light

This indicator light stays on for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched ON.
It also illuminates when the TCS OFF
switch is pressed and TCS is switched off.
Refer to TCS OFF Switch on page 4-83 .
If the light remains illuminated and the
TCS is not switched off, take your vehicle
to an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer. The DSC may
have a malfunction.

back on. The TCS OFF indicator light will
turn off.
ABS/TCS/DSC
NOTE
When TCS 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 diffi cult.
When this happens, turn off the TCS.
If the TCS is off when the engine is
turned off, it automatically activates
when the ignition is switched ON.
Leaving the TCS on will provide the
best traction.
If the TCS OFF switch is pressed and
held for 10 seconds or more, the TCS
OFF switch malfunction detection
function operates and the TCS
system activates automatically. The
TCS OFF indicator light turns off
while the TCS system is operative.
