dash lights indicate when there is something wrong. However, with so many dash lights it’s impossible to remember what they all mean and when you should worry.
Dash lights are color-coded to indicate the severity of an issue. Red lights usually indicate serious trouble while yellow lights are a warning. Be sure to take your car to a mechanic if your Mazda displays red or yellow lights. Green lights are indicators (think your high beams are on!).
Here are the dash lights you should know:
Battery: Charging system warning
Oil can: Engine oil warning
Thermometer: High engine coolant temperature warning
Triangle with an exclamation point: A master warning light
Steering wheel with an exclamation point: Power steering malfunction indicator
If your Mazda CX-7 displays a dash light and you don’t know what it means, check your owner’s manual.
