Engine Oil Warning Light


This warning light indicates low engine oil pressure.



CAUTION

Do not run the engine if the oil pressure is low.  Otherwise, it could result in extensive engine damage.


   If the light illuminates or the warning indication is displayed while driving:

1. Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way on level ground.

2. Turn off the engine and wait 5 minutes for the oil to drain back into the sump.

3. Inspect the engine oil level 6-28.  If it's low, add the appropriate amount of engine oil while being careful not to overfill.



CAUTION

Do not run the engine if the oil level is low.  Otherwise, it could result in extensive engine damage.


4. Start the engine and check the warning light.


If the light remains illuminated even though the oil level is normal or after adding oil, stop the engine immediately and have your vehicle towed to an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.


 High Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light RED

The light flashes when the engine coolant temperature is extremely high, and illuminates when the engine coolant temperature increases further.


HANDLING PROCEDURE


Flashing light

Drive slowly to reduce engine load until you can find a safe place to stop the vehicle and wait for the engine to cool down.


Illuminated light

This indicates the possibility of overheating.  Park the vehicle in a safe place immediately and stop the engine.

Refer to Overheating, page 7-18.



CAUTION

Do not drive the vehicle with the high engine coolant temperature warning light illuminated.

Otherwise, it could result in damage to the engine.
