Temperature Warning

Indication/Warning

Light

The light flashes when the engine coolant temperature is extremely high, and
illuminates when the engine coolant temperature increases further.

Handling Procedure
Flashing light

Drive slowly to reduce engine load until you can find a safe place to stop the vehicle
and wait for the engine to cool down.

Illuminated light

This indicates the possibility of overheating. Park the vehicle in a safe place immedi-
ately and stop the engine.
Refer to Overheating 7-18.

CAUTION

Do not drive the vehicle with the high engine coolant temperature warning light illumi‐
nated. Otherwise, it could result in damage to the engine.

Power Steering Mal-

function Indication

*

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 message in the display turns off after a
while. 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.

thorized Mazda Dealer if the light illuminates/flashes continuously.



If the indicator light illuminates/flashes, the power steering will not operate normal-
ly. If 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.
