Warning/Indicator Light Turns On
Electric Power Steering Warning Light
The warning light turns on if the electric power steering has a malfunction.
If the warning light turns on, stop the vehicle in a safe place and switch the vehicle power OFF.
There is no problem if the warning light turns off when the engine is restarted after some time has passed.
If the warning light turns on even after the engine is restarted, contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
-
If the warning light turns on, the electric 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.
-
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 do not operate the steering wheel. The system will return to normal after a few minutes.
