qBrake System Warning Light

This warning has the following functions:

Parking brake warning

The light comes on when the parking

brake is applied with the ignition switch

in the START or ON position. It turns off

when the parking brake is full y released.

Low brake fluid level warning

If the light stays on after the parking brake

is fully released, you may have a brake

problem.

Drive to the side of the road and park off

the right-of-way.

You may notice that the pedal is harder to

push or that it may go closer to the floor.

In either case, it will take longer to stop

the vehicle.

1. With the engine stopped, check the

brake fluid level immediately and add

fluid as required (page 8-16).

2. After adding fluid, check the light

again.

If the warning light remains on, or if the

brakes do not operate properly, do not

drive the vehicle. Have it towed to an

Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Even if the light goes out have your brake

system inspected as soon as possible by

an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
