Immobilizer system warning light When the key is in the ignition switch, this light serves as the immobilizer system warning light. If the immobilizer system is working properly, the light will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON or START position. The light will go out when confirmation by the immobilizer system is completed. If the light flashes rapidly, fails to come on, or comes on and stays on, it indicates a system malfunction. If any of these occur, contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. Security indicator light When there is no key in the ignition switch, and the theft-deterrent system has been armed, the light will flash once every 3 seconds. This indicates that the system is working properly. M TCS Warning Light This warning light stays on for a few seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. It flashes when the system regulates engine torque. If the light stays on, the traction control system may have a malfunction and it may not operate correctly. Take your vehicle to an Authorized Mazda Dealer. NOTE • In addition to the TCS warning light flashing, a slight lugging sound will come from the engine. This indicates that the traction control system is operating properly. • On slippery surfaces, such as fresh snow, it will be impossible to achieve high rpm when the traction control system is on. 5-29 Form No. 8Q44-EA-01K
