These are i-ACTIVSENSE Warning indicators and symbols. One of these lights will be seen in yellow/amber if a potential collision or a system malfunction is detected. If a malfunction is actually detected, the symbol will flash. It appears as the image of a car seen from above with lines or arcs radiating from all sides or in the simplified, later version, with a circle around it.
The system, from Mazda, monitors traffic all around the vehicle. The reason for the malfunction will be shown in the center information display.
The symbol may also be seen in green or white. In white, the system is on stand-by. It will appear in green if any one of the systems from the list below is activated, the i-ACTIVSENSE status symbol is displayed. Note that even if the i-ACTIVSENSE status symbol is displayed, systems which do not meet the operation conditions will not operate.
The word OFF will appear below the indicator light if the system has been shut down. The system can be shut down using a switch on the dashboard or through using the vehicle’s personalization features.
The i-ACTIVSENSE System is a warning and/or risk avoidance support system and combines Lane Departure, Blind Spot Monitoring, Distance & Speed Alert, Front and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane-keeping Assist Systems and Cruising & Traffic Support.
This is a Cruising and Traffic Support (CTS) System Malfunction Indicator. CTS is a system that consists of a headway control function and a steering assist function for reducing driver fatigue during traffic jams when driving on expressways or highways. Do not attempt to use the system if this warning appears.
The mention of “traffic jams” suggests it is meant to operate at slow speeds. However, further in Mazda’s description of the system, it states that “If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely low speed, the system may not detect it correctly.” So its clear that this is meant to be “heavy traffic” not traffic jams.
In a any case, the system has many limitations including but not limited to bad weather, slippery conditions, undetected lane lines, etc. and is in no way a self driving system.

To the far left is first Regenerative Brake Warning Indicator symbol. It is made from the combined Electronically Controlled Brake System Fault indicator and the Parking Brake and Brake Fluid Warning Indicator. The symbol next to it, with the exclamation point, may also be shown alone and also indicates a problem with the system.
This pair of warning lights will be seen together when the regenerative brake does not operate and the brake does not perform well. This causes the Brake Warning light (red) and Regenerative Brake Warning Light (yellow/amber) to illuminate. These colors are opposite what is shown above.
This version may be seen and is a Limited Regenerative Braking indicator. It is not a fault indicator but is actually a function of the battery’s state of charge. If the battery is full, regenerative braking must be limited as there is no storage available for additional electrons. The symbol starts with the traditional symbol — although the brakes themselves are not involved: the circle inside brackets with the addition of a lightning bolt.
Contact an authorized service shop as soon as possible.
The symbols to right are also used as Regenerative Braking Indicators. Click here to learn more.

This is a Parking Brake and Brake Fluid Warning Indicator symbol. It combines three of what are often seen as separate indicators: the text BRAKE indicator, the exclamation point in the brake drum drawing, and the letter ‘P’ also inside the drum. The wrapped circle or drum is a typical first representation of brakes.
Special note: If Brake Hold is activated when coming to a stop in a automated car wash, there will be a problem with the car moving. If an attempt to turn off Hold is unsuccessful, the Park Brake light may come on. Shifting in and out of gear should release the hold!
If applicable in your vehicle this warning light will be on if the parking brake is applied, which does not indicate a problem, or when the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low, which does. If the light is still seen when the parking brake is released, the brake fluid level is low.
With disc brakes, when the pads are heavily worn, the brake fluid level will be lowered as a matter of course. Check of have the brake pads checked for wear before adding brake fluid. One way or the other, do not ignore this warning light.
