engine. If the engine is off or if the

inoperative, you can still steer, but it
will require more effort.
If you find steering hard in normal
driving, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
CAUTION
!
Never hold the steering wheel to
the extreme left or right for more
than five seconds with the engine
running. This could damage the
power steering system.
