WARNING
Do not replace the main fuse by
yourself. Have an Authorized
Mazda Dealer perform the
replacement:
Replacing the fuse by yourself is
dangerous because the MAIN fuse
is a high current fuse. Incorrect
replacement could cause an
electrical shock or a short circuit
resulting in a fire.

The hazard warning lights should
always be used when you stop on or
near a roadway in an emergency.
The hazard warning lights warn other
drivers that your vehicle is a traffic
hazard and that they must take
extreme caution when near it.
Depress the hazard warning flasher
and all the turn signals will flash. The
hazard warning indicator lights in the
instrument cluster flash simultaneously.
NOTE
The turn signals do not work when
the hazard warning lights are on.
Check local regulations about the
use of hazard warning lights while
the vehicle is being towed to verify
that it is not in violation of the law.
