wheel. There is no problem if the light turns off after a while. Contact an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer if the light illuminates
continuously.
NOTE
If 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, or the steering wheel could vibrate when turning.
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 wait several minutes for the
system to return to normal.
There is a malfunction in the battery management system.
There is a malfunction in the brake switch.
