Power Steering Malfunction Indicator Light


The light illuminates/flashes if the electric power steering has a malfunction.


If the light illuminates/flashes, stop the vehicle in a safe place and do not operate the steering wheel.

There is no problem if the light turns off after a while.


Contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer if the light illuminates/flashes continuously.


NOTE

* If the indicator light illuminates/flashes, the power steering will not operate normally.  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

   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.
