the engine is running. If the engine is 
off or if the power steering system is 
inoperable, you can still steer, but it 
requires more physical effort.

  If the steering feels stiffer than usual 

during normal driving or the steering 
vibrates, consult an Authorized Mazda 
Dealer.

of system abnormalities and operation 
conditions.

  In addition, the buzzer may also activate 

depending on the system abnormality or 
operation condition.

  Refer to Warning Lights on page  4-22 .

  Refer to Power Steering Warning Buzzer 

on  page 7-39 .

CAUTION

  Never hold the steering wheel to the 
extreme left or right for more than 5 
seconds with the engine running. This 
could damage the power steering 
system.
