Power Steering
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
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 7-22.
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
seconds with the engine running. This
could damage the power steering system.

Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure
Warning System (LDWS)
*
The LAS & LDWS alerts the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane and it
provides steering assistance to help the driver stay within the vehicle lanes.
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects the white lines (yellow lines) of the vehicle
lane in which the vehicle is traveling and if the system determines that the vehicle may
deviate from its lane, it operates the electric power steering to assist the driver's steering
operation. The system also alerts the driver by activating a lane departure warning sound,
vibrating the steering wheel, and indicating an alert in the display. Use the system when you
drive the vehicle on roads with white (yello w) lines such as expressways and highways.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) on page 4-256.

Do not rely completely on the LAS & LDWS:
 The LAS & LDWS is not an automatic driving system. In addition, the system is not designed
to compensate for a driver's lack of caution, and over-reliance on the system could lead to
an accident.
 The detection ability of the LAS & LDWS is limited. Always stay on course using the steering
wheel and drive with care.
Do not use the LAS & LDWS in the following cases:
The system may not operate adequately accordin g to the actual driving conditions, resulting
in an accident.

Always adjust Mazda Connect while the vehicle is stopped:
Do not adjust Mazda Connect with the Commander switch while driving the vehicle.
Adjusting Mazda Connect with the Commander switch while driving the vehicle is dangerous
as it could distract your attention from the vehicle operation which could lead to a serious
accident.
Even if the audio remote control switches are eq uipped on the steering wheel, learn to use the
switches without looking down at them so that you can keep your maximum attention on the
road while driving the vehicle.
Do not allow the connection plug cord to get tangled with the selector lever:
Allowing the plug cord to become tangled with the selector lever is dangerous as it could
interfere with driving, resulting in an accident.
Do not adjust a mobile device or a similar product while driving the vehicle:
Adjusting a mobile device or a similar product while driving the vehicle is dangerous as it
could distract your attention from the vehicle operation which could lead to a serious
accident. Always adjust a mobile device or a similar product while the vehicle is stopped.
CAUTION
For the purposes of safe driving, adjust the au dio volume to a level that allows you to hear
sounds outside of the vehicle including car horns and particul arly emergency vehicle sirens.
NOTE
Do not use Mazda Connect for a long time with the engine stopped. Otherwise, the battery
power could be depleted.
If a mobile phone or CB radio is used in or near the vehicle, it could cause noise to occur
from the audio system. However, this does not indicate a problem.
