Warning

Power Steering Mal-

function Indicator Light

The light illuminates/flashes if the electric power steering has a malfunction.
If the light illuminates/flashes, stop the vehicle in a safe place and do not operate the
steering wheel. There is no problem if the light turns off after a while. Contact an Au-
thorized Mazda Dealer if the light illuminates/flashes continuously.

NOTE

If the indicator light illuminates/flashes, the power steering will not operate normal-
ly. In this happens, the steering wheel can still be operated, however, the operation
may feel heavy compared to normal, or the steering wheel could vibrate when turn-
ing.

Repeatedly jerking the steering wheel left and right while the vehicle is stopped or
moving extremely slowly will cause the power steering system to go into protective
mode which will make the steering feel heavy, but this does not indicate a problem. If
this occurs, park the vehicle safely and wait several minutes for the system to return
to normal.
