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 rigid during normal
driving, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

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.

Cruise Control

With cruise control, you can set and
automatically maintain any speed of more
than about 30 km/h (19 mph).
