Driving Your Mazda

Starting and Driving

Form No. 8Q42-EA-01F

Power steering is only operable when 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 rigid during normal 
driving, consult an Authorized Mazda 
Dealer.

With cruise control, you can set and 
automatically maintain any speed of more 
than about 40 km/h (25 mph).
