Power Steering
ï‚·Power steering is only operable when
the engine is running. If the engine is off

inoperable, you can still steer, but it
requires more physical effort.
If the steering feels stiffer than usual
during normal driving or the steering
vibrates, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
ï‚·The warning light notifies the driver of
system abnormalities and operation
conditions.
In addition, the buzzer may also activate
depending on the system abnormality or
operation condition.
Refer to Stop Vehicle in Safe Place
Immediately on page 7-26.
Refer to Power Steering Warning
Buzzer on page 7-44.
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel to the
extreme left or right for more than 5

The functions of the LDWS have limitations:
Always stay on course using the steering wheel and drive with care. The system is not
designed to compensate for a driver’s lack of caution and if you rely too much on the LDWS it
could lead to an accident. The driver is resp onsible for assuring lane changes and other
maneuvers. Always pay attention to the directi on in which the vehicle is traveling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.
CAUTION
Do not modify the suspension. If the vehicle he ight or the damping force of the suspensions is
changed, the LDWS may not operate correctly.
NOTE
ï‚·If your vehicle deviates from its traffic lane, the LDWS operates (warning sound and
indicator light). Steer the vehicle adequately to drive the vehicle to the center of the lane.
ï‚·When the turn signal lever is operated for a lane change, the LDWS warning is
automatically canceled. The LDWS warning becomes operable when the turn signal lever
is returned and the system detects the white or yellow lines.
ï‚·If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the
vehicle moves close to a white or yellow line, the system determines that the driver is
making a lane change and the LDWS warning is automatically canceled.
ï‚·The LDWS may not operate during the period immediately after the vehicle has deviated
from its lane and the LDWS has operated, or the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly
within a short period of time.
ï‚·The LDWS does not operate if it does not det ect the white or yellow lines of the traffic
lane.
ï‚·Under the following conditions, the LDWS may not be able to detect white or yellow lines
correctly and the LDWS may not operate correctly.

camera.
ï‚·Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat and the
vehicle is inclined.
ï‚·The tire pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.
ï‚·When the vehicle is driven on the entry and exit to or from the rest area or tollgate of a
highway.
ï‚·The white or yellow lines are less visi ble because of dirt or paint flaking.
ï‚·The vehicle ahead is running near a white or yellow line and the line is less visible.
