INDICATOR LIGHTS

Most of the lights that you will see in your Mazda3 are yellow indicator lights. While some of these lights mean you will need to schedule a maintenance check, it will usually not be an emergency situation. Yellow indicator lights you may see in your Mazda3 include:

• Tire Pressure: When the pressure in one or more of your tires gets too low, you will see a light that looks like an exclamation point inside of a flat tire.
• Power Steering: A malfunction in your power steering system will be indicated by a light that looks like an exclamation point next to a steering wheel. Have this issue checked as soon as possible.
• Braking: The letters “ABS” inside of a circle mean that your anti-lock braking system is malfunctioning.
• Engine: If there is a non-emergency problem with your engine, you will see a light that looks like a yellow car engine.

WARNING LIGHTS

If there is a problem with your Mazda3 that warrants immediate attention, you will see a red warning light on your dashboard. Learning about these lights should help you stay calm if and when they activate. Mazda3 red warning lights include:

• Air Bags: A malfunction with your airbag system is indicated by a light that looks like a deployed airbag in front of a car passenger.
• Oil: If you see a red oil lamp on your dashboard, it means that the oil pressure engine is unsafely low. Get your engine checked immediately after seeing this light.
• Battery: You will be alerted to a problem with your car’s charging system by a red warning light that looks like a car battery.
• Braking System: The word “BRAKE” underneath a circle and an exclamation point can either mean that your brake fluid is too low or that you are driving your car with the parking brake activated.
• Headlights: If there is a problem with your headlights, you will see a red headlight with an exclamation point inside.
