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

while. Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer if the message is displayed continuously.

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.

If this occurs, park the vehicle safely and wait several minutes for the system to
return to normal.
