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 off 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.
-
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.

The warning light flashes when the vehicle continues to be driven with the warning indication/warning light displayed/turned on and the remaining fuel in the tank is near empty.
The light illumination timing may vary because fuel inside the fuel tank moves around according to the driving conditions and the vehicle posture.
