Power Steering Malfunction

Indication/Indicator Light

The message is displayed if the electric

power steering has a malfunction.

If the message is displayed, stop the

vehicle in a safe place and do not

operate the steering wheel. There is no

problem if the indication turns o

ff

when the engine is restarted after

some time has passed. If the indication

displays even after the engine is

restarted, contact an Authorized

Mazda Dealer if the message is

displayed continuously.

NOTE



If the message is displayed, the

power steering will not operate

normally. In this case, the steering

wheel can still be operated,

however, the operation may feel

heavy compared to normal, or the

steering wheel could vibrate when

turning.



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.
