If it's low, add oil. 3. Check the light. If the light remains on even after you add oil, have your vehicle towed to the nearest service station or to an Authorized Mazda Dealer. If the check engine light flashes continuously, decrease your speed and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. M ABS Warning Light CAUTION Don't run the engine if oil pressure is low. It could result in extensive engine damage. The warning light stays on for a few seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. 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 Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. M Check Engine Light If this light comes on while driving, the vehicle may have a problem. It is important to note the driving conditions when the light came on and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer. The check engine light may come on in the following cases: • The fuel tank level being very low or approaching empty. • The engine's electrical system has a problem. • The emission control system has a problem. • The fuel-filler cap is missing or not tightened securely. WARNING ABS Warning Light and Brake Warning Light on at the Same Time: Driving when the brake system warning light and ABS warning light are on at the same time is dangerous. When both lights are on, the rear wheels could lock more quickly in an emergency stop than under normal circumstances. Don't drive with both lights on, and contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer to have the brakes inspected as soon as possible. 5-27 Form No. 8Q44-EA-01K
