Fuses
Your vehicle's electrical system is
protected by fuses.
If any lights, accessories, or controls do
not work, inspect the appropriate circuit
protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside
element will be melted.
If the same fuse blows again, avoid using
that system and consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

If the electrical system does not work, fi rst
inspect the fuses on the vehicle's left side.

5. Insert a new fuse of the same amperage
rating, and make sure it fi ts tightly. If
it does not fi t tightly, have an expert
install it. We recommend an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
If you have no spare fuses, borrow one of the same rating from a circuit not
essential to vehicle operation, such as
the AUDIO or OUTLET circuit.
CAUTION
Always replace a fuse with a genuine
Mazda fuse or equivalent of the same
rating. Otherwise you may damage
the electric system.
6. Reinstall the cover and make sure that it is securely installed.
Replacing the fuses under the hood
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the fuses
in the cabin are normal, inspect the fuse
block under the hood. If a fuse is blown, it
must be replaced. Follow these steps:
1. Make sure the ignition is switched off, and other switches are off.
2. Remove the fuse block cover.
3. If any fuse but the MAIN fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of the

If Trouble Arises
Overheating
Overheating
If the High engine coolant temperature
warning light illuminates, the vehicle loses
power, or you hear a loud knocking or
pinging noise, the engine is probably too
hot.
WARNING
Switch the ignition to off and make
sure the fan is not running before
attempting to work near the cooling
fan: Working near the cooling fan when it
is running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefi nitely even if
the engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.

Do not remove either cooling
system cap when the engine and
radiator are hot: When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot
out under pressure and cause serious
injury.

Open the hood ONLY after steam is no
longer escaping from the engine: Steam from an overheated engine is
dangerous. The escaping steam could
seriously burn you.
If the High engine coolant temperature
warning light illuminates:
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic transaxle in park (P), a manual
transaxle in neutral.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Turn off the air conditioner.
5. Check whether coolant or steam is escaping from the engine compartment.
If steam is coming from the engine compartment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle. Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then open the hood and start the engine.
If neither coolant nor steam is
escaping:
Open the hood and idle the engine until it cools.
CAUTION
If the cooling fan does not operate
while the engine is running, the engine
temperature will increase. Stop the
engine and call an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
6. Make sure the cooling fan is operating, then turn off the engine after the
temperature has decreased.

Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
Signal Warning
Air Bag/Front Seat
Belt Pretensioner System Warning Light A system malfunction is indicated if the warning light constantly fl ashes, constantly
illuminates or does not illuminate at all when the ignition is switched \
ON. If any of these
occur, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. The system may not operate
in an accident.
WARNING
Never tamper with the air bag/pretensioner systems and always have an Authorized
Mazda Dealer perform all servicing and repairs:

Self-servicing or tampering with the systems is dangerous. An air bag/pretensioner
could accidentally activate or become disabled causing serious injury or death.
Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light
*
If the tire pressure monitoring system has a malfunction, the tire press\
ure warning
light fl ashes for about 1 minute when the ignition is switched ON and then conti\
nues
illuminating. Have your vehicle checked by an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
WARNING
If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or fl ashes, or the tire
pressure warning beep sound is heard, decrease vehicle speed immediately and avoid
sudden maneuvering and braking: If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or fl ashes, or the tire
pressure warning beep sound is heard, it is dangerous to drive the vehicle at high
speeds, or perform sudden maneuvering or braking. Vehicle drivability could worsen
and result in an accident.
To determine if you have a slow leak or a fl at, pull over to a safe position where you can
check the visual condition of the tire and determine if you have enough air to proceed
to a place where air may be added and the system monitored again by an Authorized
Mazda Dealer or a tire repair station.
Do not ignore the TPMS Warning Light: Ignoring the TPMS warning light is dangerous, even if you know why it is illuminated.
Have the problem taken care of as soon as possible before it develops into a more
serious situation that could lead to tire failure and a dangerous accident.

With warning light for front passenger's seat
The seat belt warning light illuminates if the driver or front passenger\
's seat is occupied and the
seat belt is not fastened with the ignition switched ON.
Without warning light for front passenger's seat
The seat belt warning light illuminates if the driver's seat belt is not\
fastened with the ignition
switched ON.
Seat belt reminder
NOTE
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer to deactivate or restore the belt reminder. Though the belt
reminder can be deactivated, doing so will defeat the purpose of the syst\
em to warn the driver and
the front passenger in the event that their seat belts are not fastened. For the safety of the driver
and front passenger, Mazda recommends not deactivating the belt reminder.
Front seat
If the vehicle is driven with the driver or front passenger's seat belt \
unfastened, the seat belt
warning light illuminates and a warning beep sounds.
NOTE
Some models do not have the seat belt reminder function for the front passenger's seat.
If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened (only when the front passenger seat is
occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed faster than about 20 km/\
h (12 mph), the warning
light will fl ash and a beep sound will be heard. After a short time, the warning light stops fl ashing,
but remains illuminated, and the beep sound stops.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given period of time has elapsed, the\
beep sound will not stop even
if the vehicle speed falls below 20 km/h (12 mph).
NOTE
yThe warning light fl ashes and a beep sound will be heard for about 6 seconds if the driver's seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is switched ON.
yIf a driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened after the beep sound turns off (\
warning light remains illuminated), and the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph), \
the warning light fl ashes
and beep sound activates again.
yPlacing heavy items on the front passenger seat may cause the front passenger seat belt warning function to operate depending on the weight of the item.
y To allow the front passenger seat weight sensor to function properly, do not place and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passenger seat. The sensor may not function properly because
the additional seat cushion could cause sensor interference.
yWhen a small child sits on the front passenger seat, it is possible that the warning light will not operate.
Door-Ajar Warning Light The light turns on if any door is not closed
securely.
Close the door securely.
