If the ABS warning light stays on while
you're driving, the ABS control unit has
detected a system malfunction. If this
occurs, your brakes will function normally
as if the vehicle had no ABS.
Should this happen, consult an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer as soon as possible.
NOTE
When the engine is jump-started to
l
charge the battery, uneven rpm
occurs and the ABS warning light
may illuminate. If this occurs, it is
the result of the weak battery and
does not indicate an ABS
malfunction.
Recharge the battery.
Refer to Battery Recharging on page
8-29.
When the ABS warning light
l
remains illuminated, the power
sliding doors cannot be opened
electrically. Refer to Power Sliding
Doors on page 3-14.
The brake assist system does not
l
operate while the ABS warning light
is illuminated.
Starting and Driving
qElectronic Brake Force
Distribution System Warning
If the electronic brake force distribution
control unit determines that some
components are operating incorrectly, the
control unit may illuminate the brake
system warning light and the ABS
warning light on simultaneously. The
problem is likely to be the electronic
brake force distribution system.
WARNING
Do not drive with both the ABS
warning light and brake warning light
illuminated. Have the vehicle towed to
an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer to have
the brakes inspected as soon as
possible:
Driving when the brake system
warning light and ABS warning light
are illuminated simultaneously is
dangerous.
When both lights are illuminated, the
rear wheels could lock more quickly in
an emergency stop than under normal
circumstances.
