Driving Your Mazdr
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 sieet but it
requires more physical effort.
If ihe steering feels rigid during normal
driving, consuli an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
NOTI
w}len lhe engine is jump-started, an
unevenness of rpm occurs and the
ABS warning light comes on. This is
due to a lack of baltery capaciry and
doesn't indicaie a malfunction.
Have the battery recharged as soon as
possible.
NOTf,
If the ABS waming light stats on
wbile you're driving. the ABS
conlrol unithas detecled a system
malfunction. If ftis occurs, your
brakes will function normally as if
$e vehicle hadno ABS. Should
tbis happen, consull an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
Braking distances may b€ longer
on loos€ surfaces (snow or gravel.
for example) which usually have a
haJd foundation. A vehicle with a
normal braking sysl,em may require
less dislance to stop under these
conditions because the tires will
build up a wedge of surface layer
when the wheels skid.
