What to Do in Case of Emergency
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.
NOTE
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.
8-42
ABS Warning Light
The light remains on if the system has a
problem.
Have your vehicle inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
WARNING
If the brake system warning light
and the ABS warning light turn on at
the same time, stop the vehicle in a
safe place immediately and contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
The rear wheels could lock more
quickly in an emergency stop than
under normal circumstances which
could result in an accident.
