Do not drive the vehicle with the high engine coolant temperature warning light
illuminated. Otherwise, it could result in damage to the engine.
Power Steering
Malfunction Indicator Light The light illuminates/fl ashes if the electric power steering has a malfunction.
If the light illuminates/fl ashes, 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
Authorized Mazda Dealer if the light illuminates/fl ashes continuously.
NOTE
yIf the indicator light illuminates/fl ashes, 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.
yRepeatedly jerking the steering wheel left and right while the vehicle i\
s 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 sy\
stem to return
to normal.
