  Power steering is only operable when
the engine is running. If the engine is
off or if the power steering system is
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.
  The warning indication/warning
light noti fi es 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 Warning Indication/Warning Lights on page 4-33 .
 Refer to Power Steering Warning Buzzer on page 7-42 .

CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel to the
extreme left or right for more than
5 seconds with the engine running.
This could damage the power steering
system.

NOTE
  The Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function) system does not detect the following as physical objects.
  Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction  Pedestrians  Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)  If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely low speed, the system may not detect it
correctly.
  During headway control travel, do not set the system for detection of two-wheeled
vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles.
  Do not use the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop
& Go function) system under conditions in which close proximity warnings are frequently
activated.
  During headway control travel, the system accelerates and decelerates your vehicle in
conjunction with the speed of the vehicle ahead. However, if it is necessary to accelerate
for a lane change or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly causing you to\
close in on the
vehicle rapidly, accelerate using the accelerator pedal or decelerate using the brake
pedal depending on the conditions.
  While the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go
function) system is in use, it does not cancel even if the selector lev\
er is operated and any
intended engine braking does not occur. If deceleration is required, lower the set speed or
depress the brake pedal.
  The sound of the automatic brakes operating may be heard, however, it does not indicate
a problem.
  The brake lights turn on while the Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function
(MRCC with Stop & Go function) automatic braking is operating, however\
