qIf the power steering malfunction
warning indication/indicator light
is indicated
The power steering malfunction indicator
light illuminates if there is a malfunction
with the power steering while the engine
is running.
If the indicator light illuminates, park the
vehicle in a safe place immediately and
stop the engine.
If the indicator light does not turn off even
if the engine is restarted afterwards,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
lIf the indicator light illuminates, 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, and the
steering wheel could vibrate when turning.
lRepeatedly 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.
qIf the air bag/front seat belt
pretensioner system warning light
illuminates or flashes
A system malfunction is indicated if the
warning light constantly flashes,
constantly illuminates or does not
illuminate at all when the ignition is
switched ON. If any of these occur,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as
soon as possible. The system may not
operate in an accident.
WARNING
Never tamper with the air bag/
pretensioner systems and always have
an Authorized Mazda Dealer perform
all servicing and repairs:
Self-servicing or tampering with the
systems is dangerous. An air bag/
pretensioner could accidentally
activate or become disabled causing
serious injury or death.
